A third-pound burger is a hamburger containing a patty that weighs one-third of a pound (approximately 5.3 ounces or 150 grams) before cooking. It is larger than a quarter-pound burger (4 ounces or 113 grams), which is commonly offered by fast-food chains. The third-pound burger became widely known in the 1980s following a marketing campaign by A&W Restaurants in the United States. The campaign, which sought to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder, was unsuccessful because consumers misunderstood fractions, making it a case study in consumer behavior and marketing communication.
Be respectful to others online. They are real people. I’m telling that it might be more complicated. See my other comment. If you do a quick search, you can see that there are some reports stating the size as a reason, though there’s still some debate whether it’s the whole truth. Google says it’s partially a myth
When betting on the intelligence of the American people, I don’t, it was for that reason, you searched specifically for myth so that’s kind of cheating
I’m pretty sure that’s a myth btw, just so you’re aware. It’s a funny story though

You’re just as bad as the people that thought 1/3 pound burger was smaller than a quarter pound, do you do any research before you run your mouth off?
