Subway's New BBQ Pulled Pork Sub

Have you had it yet? The new BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich is made of:

Tender, succulent slow-cooked pork with sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, all on freshly baked bread.

The sandwich just came out a few days ago and will only be around for a limited time. Early reviews point to Subway having another hit sandwich on their hands, which begs the age old question, how can restaurants only sell these items that people like so much for a limited time?

In the event you're wondering, the sandwich comes in at 570 calories, 17 grams of fat and 56 grams of protein.

A little background on Bastille Day from about.com:

Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers.
