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.

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

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

        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.
