Because everyone knows that college kids plus credit cards equals disaster, Ohio State University professors are suing Citibank, Potbelly Sandwich Works, La Bamba, and marketing firm Campus Dimensions for false advertising, saying the establishments publicized free meals without clearly stating that the promotion involved signing up for a credit card, the Lantern reports.

The companies being sued had little to say to the Lantern, but Potbelly's general counsel did offer one comment for good measure: "We are in the business of making great sandwiches for great customers. We are not a credit card company." Because we were all confused there for a second.
