Subway 69

Subway uses the advertising slogan “Eat Fresh” to explain how every sandwich is made on freshly baked bread, using fresh ingredients, in front of the customer to their exact specification, by employees who Subway terms “sandwich artists”.

The term “69” is a reference to the fact that the digit 6 is the digit 9 rotated 180 degrees; similarly, with one partner’s body rotated by this angle, it becomes possible for each partner to stimulate the other’s genitals, simultaneously.
