In the 1980s, then-owner A. Alfred Taubman launched the "Third is the Word" campaign to promote A&W's new third-pound burgers to compete with McDonald's quarter-pounder for the exactly the same price, but it bombed! Why? Americans thought they were getting a bad deal because three is a SMALLER number than four. Math education is important! It also shows you why the metric system is better than imperial.

Am I the only one here who stays away from any and all restaurant burgers? (truth be told, i try to avoid all restaurant food. Been in the business and know the shit that goes on in these places in order to make a profit.)
