TIL that the A&W restaurant chain tried to introduce a 1/3rd LB burger to compete against McDonald’s famous Quarter Pounder. The product failed despite being larger and cheaper than its competitor. Focus groups later revealed that Americans thought that a 1/3 LB burger was smaller than a 1/4 LB one.

5 out of 4 people have problems with fractions.
A&W are idiots 4 is bigger than 3!!!
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!
The American education system at work, ladies and gentlemen.
I believe it. Hardy’s still has a 1/3 burger and the last time i went there a woman asked for the “larger 1/4 burger” instead of the 1/3 pound one.
Why am i not surprised
My mom still asks questions when baking like “What’s two thirds? Is that a third and a third?”
It probably also failed because A&W food fucking sucks. They share kitchens with Long John Silvers ffs
There are stupid and/or uneducated people in every country. Intelligence follows a normal curve when the population is large enough!
The second I read as far as 1/3, I knew where this was going.
My 1/8 Lb burger coming soon, twice the value of the 1/4 lb
Sounds about right
Americans are so stupid it’s not even funny. That nation has a perpetual fear of science and it drives me nuts how can so many people be kept under an induced poverty system and mental backwardsness.
You think Afganistan is backwards? Go to US
Yeah we’re not very smart over here.
