Edit: It will never cease to make me laugh that I get more genuinely serious discussion comments on my meme posts in /c/Memes than anywhere else. I’m not hating, I love it.

        Never forget that the 1/3 pounder failed because people were too dumb to realize that 1/3 is bigger than 1/4…

            We’d have the 200 gram’er or whatever a quarter of a pound is in grams

              In Germany, we have 125g patties. But a pound is slang for 500g and does not equate to an imperial pound.

              Like 115 grams. A pound is 454g, a quarter of that is 113.5g, which would probably be rounded up.

              They’d go from a Royale with cheese to an Impérial with cheese.

            Never looked at metric as (also) accommodating idiots, but I guess you’re right.

          Bad labeling, they should have called it the 150. People will assume that means 50% more, which is kinda close. For any legal matter they can say it refers to 150 grams, which is dead accurate.

            Right up until the point that someone complains that grams are metric and not American, calling for a boycott. It makes my head hurt.

          They should’ve made a fifth-pounder and sold it for more.

          The vast majority of people do not understand fractions. Even math teachers do not understand fractions. I quiver in horror every time a student says the words “cross multiply” because I am about to see some gruesome debasement of mathematics.

        Broke: Intuitive responses may not be accurate and experimental experience is necessary to enjoy a fuller understanding of the world

        Woke: People are idiots

        Bespoke: Andrew Tate Voice

        A 1995 experiment found that 50% of undergraduate males and 25% of females performed “very well” on the task and 20% of males and 35% of females performed “poorly”.

        followed by a series of extremely misogynist noises

          This isn’t volumes though, it’s basically asking if you’ve ever experienced a liquid affected by gravity. And somehow adults are failing this.
