    I really miss the 1/3 lb burgers at so many places that dropped them because idiots don’t understand fractions…

      How is it even that difficult to understand? ¼ is 25% of a pound ⅓ is 33% of a pound.

      33 is a bigger number then 25. Where is the confusion coming from?

          Where is it they’re getting confused is it that people don’t understand fractions or that they don’t understand percentages? Because fractions are taught to 12 year olds using cake or pizza is an analogy I thought Americans would be on board with that.

      The bodacious bacon cheeseburger at Roy Rogers.

      They were slightly elongated but otherwise the same, bacon, cheese, zesty ranch. Served on a matching elongated bun.
