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.
34% is more than a quarter
