The third burger failed because it was a stupid amount when it came out, iirc it was more expensive than the quarter lber and like a dollar less than a double quarter lber.

Well yeah, that's how math should work. It's more expensive than the thing it's bigger than, and less expensive than the thing it's smaller than.

My point was almost everyone would rather spend the extra dollar to get more especially because the double quarter lber came with a larger fry iirc.

They sold different size fries with different burgers? Not just small medium large choice for any burger? I’ve never heard of that

WTF is a, "small" or a "medium" for that matter??

Were you trying to say large, extra large, and super size? /s

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Iirc yes, I'm pretty sure the quarter was a medium fry and the double a large.

It failed at more chains than just McDonald's. Lots of places had 1/3 burger patties only and most have switched to 1/4 and didn't even alter the price... More profit and they get less headache about it.

Never really saw it anywhere else at least here in the Midwest.

You don't really see much in the midwest except a few cows and tornados.

"lber" is making me irrationally angry.
