    A&W tried it in the 80’s and apparently more than half the people in the focus group thought the burger was smaller because 3 is less than 4. They renamed it the 3/9th burger so dumbass Americans wouldn’t feel like they were being ripped off. Americans have been leading the world in dumbassery for the decades at this point.

      if anything, 3/9 would be more confusing to me, cuz now I have to “calculate” how much that actually is, as opposed to knowing the amount by heart
