    It’s not even about the units - a fraction is unitless. 1/3 of something is more than 1/4 of the same something.

        It is a reference to an ad from the 80’s. A&W ran an advertisement for 1/3 lb patties for the same price as the McDonald quarter pounders. It failed, because people from the U.S. can’t do simple math.

          That one is an even dumber mischaracterization. If you offer a bigger, but shittier burger than McDonald’s, and people don’t buy it, you can’t just conclude that they didn’t understand your burger was bigger.

            Your opinion is not a fact.

              The entire “AmErICANs dOnT kNoW 1/3>1/4!!” thing rests on AW’S declining sales not reversing from an ad campaign.

              If tomorrow, Arby’s starts offering 2 extra slices of meat with their sandwiches, and then you didn’t buy them, would it make sense for me to run around saying “Haha Carl@sh.itjustworks doesn’t know how addition works! He doesn’t know when you add 2 to something you have more of it!”

                I am not from the United States of Murica. There are 2 different A&W’s. A&W Canada also only sells grass fed, and grass finished beef. Which are higher quality than regular beef.

                It is over 1 hour drive to the nearest Arby’s. I don’t know anything about Arby’s. That is like me saying you are missing out on $3 summer deal at Harvey’s.

                  Haha Carl@sh.itjustworks doesn’t know how addition works! He isn’t driving 2 hours to buy a gross-ass Arby’s burger because he thinks when you add 2 to something you have the same amount!

        Definitely don’t quit your day job to become a bot detector.
