>More than half ... questioned the price of our burger. "Why," they asked, "should we pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as we do for a quarter-pound of meat at McDonald's? You're overcharging us."
Oh, say can you shart? By the McDonald's parking lot?

The standards got lowered across the board, funding doesn't matter if the system itself is broken.

Angus third pounders were the best burger that mcdonalds ever had. Im eternally pissed that they went away. Is it the same reason? people are just retarded?

Nah Burgers can’t into fractions and don’t understand that the bigger the denominator gets the smaller the decimal value gets. So when they compared 1/3 to 1/4 they saw that 3<4 and automatically assumed that 1/3<1/4. At the very least they can follow through on the logic of 3<4 but as usual the execution is garbage.

The article is stupid.

McDonalds already had a double-quarter-pounder. The point of the third pounder was to provide a thicker patty, like something more similar to a steakhouse burger, which indeed does have a different texture.
The fact the article, which I didn't read, either picks 1 random comment for the stupidity nature of it, or whether you picked out the 1 comment doesn't mean jack when diners who would go there vs elsewhere, like a five guys, smashburger, culvers, shake shack or whatever they deem competition, isn't just comparing apples to apples...people like the sides, beverage selection, location and overall atmosphere too in criteria.

someone gets it. I worked there for 2 years and in my time there is when it went away, it was the only thing I liked to eat there.
I liked a griled chicken clubhouse with guacamole, so messy and sloppy but it was delicious and really filling.
