When A&W released a 1/3 pound burger to compete with McDonalds' quarter pounder, American consumers didn't want it because focus groups showed that we thought 1/3 was smaller than 1/4. We're fucking idiots.

>Alfred Taubman, who owned A&W at the time, wrote about the confusion in his book Threshold Resistance:
>More than half of the participants in the Yankelovich focus groups 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." Honestly. People thought a third of a pound was less than a quarter of a pound. After all, three is less than four!

I was gonna say that yeah of course because the people that actually do focus groups are literal retards, but then I forget that the majority of the human population, not just americans, are low IQ mouth breathers.
