Yeah, I would think so. No other restaurant had problems selling 1/3lb burgers. Braums and Carls Jr sling them by the truckload. Almost all the small family restaurants here sell their burgers by 1/3lb 2/3lb sizes. And I don’t exactly live in an area known for it’s high intelligence. So I’m calling shenanigans.
Nah, if you look in any American kitchen, you’ll find 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup measuring cups. They may not use them, but everyone has them, and it’s painfully obvious that the 1/4 nests inside the 1/3, therefore the 1/3 is bigger. If you want to make mac 'n cheese, you use the 1/4 for the milk, which means you’ll take it out of the 1/3 cup.
But yes, we do have graduation marks like this one, which would also clearly label the 1/4 cup and 1/3 cup parts. Whichever one you have, it’s pretty intuitive that 1/3 > 1/4. I prefer the separate ones since they take up less space so they can go in a drawer instead of the cupboard (and I have 2-3 of each size), but to each their own.
Yup, A&W sucked because their food sucks. They were great when I was a kid (I loved their frosted rootbeer mugs and onion rings), but they started cutting costs or something because I never went back after the early 2000s or so.
Except it’s not true. That was just the excuse A&W made when going bankrupt. No one else had problems selling 1/3lb burgers in the US.
Wasn’t this proven false long ago? Snopes says it’s true. 🤷

By now it’s already been a meme for a while. That’s how these people learned that the ⅓ was bigger than the ¼.

Americans are so bad at measurements that graduation marks don’t work for them.
They need an individual container for each common measurement.
It’s absurd.
Lol.

I blame it on this stunt where they merged KFC and A&W, both of which suck.
Huh, I heard the story as burger king
