This story is about subway making a new footlong cookie.
The audience is subway lovers and all cookie lovers. especially because subway is the highest-selling cookie fast-food restaurant. The benefit for the reader is taking on the new deal before it’s gone, which is most likely after Christmas time. The benefits of the company are that they are letting the public know about this new menu item. This is different than other stories we have read because it is almost an advertisement for a product, not an actual news story. I would not run this story.

Not “almost.” It is advertising.
If the idea is to get this story published, the lead is useless.
As you note: It’s advertising throughout. It might be used
as a story idea, but not as a story.
