Why it surfaced
Founded in Cowles Hall in 1994, BIG Sandwich Night preserves its lore through photos, newspaper reporting, ritual instructions, and a guide for hosting your own. The customs include tossing lettuce between shoppers at Hy-Vee, finding the same checkout worker, and accelerating applause as someone slams the final bite home.
