About

Sbubby is an intentional misspelling of the fast food restaurant franchise Subway, which is associated with a series of photoshops featuring variations of other fast food restaurant logos with typographical errors made in a similar vein to Wurds image macros.

Origin

In response, Tumblr users tzar-volver, guitarbeard and iguanamouth responded with altered versions of the Burger King, Wendy's and Subway logos, written as "Bubger Kirg," "Weedy's" and "Sbubby" respectively (shown below).
