Ah yes the marketing major quick fix excuse, “No sir I didn’t do a poor job selling your product! The customers are all just too stupid to buy it!”
I think there’s a legit degree of lyrical quality to “quarter pounder” that doesn’t come off the same as “third pounder” or “half pounder”. Its just more fun to say.
I wonder what a fix on that specifically would look like, double-quarter-pounder? Dirty Poun…that already sounded better in my head and I didn’t even say it out loud lol.

In-And-Out Burger not releasing a “Dirty Pounder” is a missed opportunity.
You mean a Royale with cheese?
Guess the 0.11 kilo burger didn’t have the same ring to it.
Kiloburger does kinda have a nice ring to it.
I’m inclined to believe it. I worked for a Wall Street firm when the stock market switched from fractional quotations to decimal. Lots of my coworkers printed out a conversion table from fractions to decimals, and even so often had problems figuring out which of two quotations was greater than the other one (in decimals). Those were smart people, but if you work with one system for so long, your brain gets hardwired and difficult to change.
That they still use fractional in tbills futures hurts my brain.
Why haven’t they slowly made them “bigger” over time? 1/5 pounder, 1/6 pounder…
Rising food prices mean smaller burgers and pizzas at restaurants
In May, Bloomberg reported that fast-casual chains, including Burger King, Domino’s and Subway, were all reducing their portion sizes in response to the rising cost of food.
Which is a good and bad. Good because Americans are fat af. Bad because they will just buy more of the same at a higher cost for no reason other than complacency
Even if they don’t buy more, reducing the size of fast food portions would not really help that problem.
we’re not gonna make it, are we?
They call it the Royale with Cheese.
On account of the metric system.
Pretty sure it’s called a Krustyburger with cheese
The 100 gramer burger
I used to get the 1/3 pounder all the time. Sad they are gone.
I wish I had a friend group. Even if it had the red dude in it.
Branding issue… shoulda called it the “bigger by half” burger… Or just mega pounder.

Americans are so dumb they couldn’t figure out 1/3 is bigger than 1/4. U throw 3/8 at them and their brains melt.

Is it true, or is it a rumor? “Quarter Pounder” is a little more fun to say, might’ve been a marketing strategy.
