still less than a quarter

34% is more than a quarter

Hah, it's like a meme came to life!

I combed that story over and couldn't find out if it was true. Did it fail because 4 is biffer than 3?

Huh, yeah the article just kind of... ends. Strange. The fiasco has a wiki article so make of that what you will:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-pound_burger

>This misunderstanding stemmed from consumers focusing on the numbers "3" and "4," leading them to conclude that one-third (1/3) was smaller than one-fourth (1/4), even though the opposite is true

I wonder if there's a correlation between those consumers and Trump voters?

The CBC article is also great. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/undertheinfluence/how-failing-at-fr...

> More than half the people in the focus groups questioned the price of the third-pounder. They wanted to know why they should have to pay the same price for a third of a pound as they did for a quarter pound at McDonald's. They said A&W was overcharging them.

It really makes you think.

haha yes
