Proving the old-fashioned American jingle hasn’t gone sour, Subway’s beefed up its infectious $5 footlong ditty with two new spots served fresh by bicoastal directing collective Brand New School.

Their wholesome recipe included an award-winning Bollywood choreographer, a skilled team of CG gelatin-dessert artists, 500 pounds of sand and a bona fide Norwyptian.

Brand New School worked closely with advertising agency MMB to create these entertaining spots that crossed oceans and centuries on this most Excellent Adventure.

From the sun-bleached desert of ancient Egypt to the dusty study of a Victorian inspector-extraordinaire to the palace courtyards of India, these colorful vignettes prove you don’t have to be a slumdog millionaire to eat fresh.
