A&W tried it in the 80’s and apparently more than half the people in the focus group thought the burger was smaller because 3 is less than 4. They renamed it the 3/9th burger so dumbass Americans wouldn’t feel like they were being ripped off. Americans have been leading the world in dumbassery for the decades at this point.
Had a guy swear up and down that 2/3 is larger than 3/4. This was brought up because he was telling me he was teaching his son math. Guy was at least 45+.
I’ve never heard of this. What? The average American doesn’t know how fractions work? This country never ceases to amaze me.

if anything, 3/9 would be more confusing to me, cuz now I have to “calculate” how much that actually is, as opposed to knowing the amount by heart

In the early 1980s, the A&W restaurant chain released a new hamburger to rival the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder.
