The funny thing is McDonald's also tried 1/3 lb burgers later on, and also failed.

It's probably also why they don't advertise a Big Mac is 1/5 pound of beef, because it would make the Quarter pounder lose interest I assume.

They are actually 1/10 lol. I think that's why, they don't want ppl to know how tiny those patties are. I add two patties to bring it up to 4 total at 4/10 lb, puts it 1 patty shy of a double quarter pounder.

The patties are 1/10th, yeah. I meant there are 2 of them on the sandwich. Your math checks out, as you added 2 to get to 2/5ths.
