Re:No One Wanted A&W's Third-Pound Burger (2016) by subsubzero on Tuesday September 14, 2021 @01:54PM (#28528285)
Everyone knows that a 1/3 lb burger is larger than a quarter pounder, but unsure why the author never thought the reason people objected to the 1/3lb burger was due to its way too much meat to have for a burger, usually fast food is eaten during lunch and people don't want to have a gigantic lunch that will make them groggy during the 2nd half of the day.

This is supported by the success of the fast-casual chain Fuddruckers which also served 1/3 pound burgers. Their restaurants are configured for large groups. It's the sort of place you take the whole family out to dinner. I don't think anyone was confused by the menu options when they went there.

They also served half pound burgers, at one time anyway.

I'm not sure if the average American would actually have difficulty eating that anymore
