    I combed that story over and couldn't find out if it was true. Did it fail because 4 is biffer than 3?

      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?
