Author sparks a fierce viral debate after writing 'Wawa Sub' in her new book

An author from Baltimore is facing some viral backlash from Philadelphia Wawa fans.

B.K. Borison's romantic comedy book "And Now, Back to You" features a controversial line that says, "There's a guy leaning against the bumper, eating a sub from Wawa."

Many commenters were quick to tell her that it should be called a hoagie, not a sub.

But Borison responded on social media saying, "I don't know what to tell you, but I said sub from Wawa and I meant it.".

She went on to explain that the character in the book would never refer to a sub as a hoagie, because she is from Baltimore and no one in Baltimore calls it a hoagie.

Wawa got in on the debate and sent Borison a care package with hoagie merchandise saying, "We couldn't resist. Sending some love from the home of the hoagie, next "sub" is on us".
