No one went to A&W for burgers back then, footlong chili dog and root beer.

This, exactly.
Anyone repeating this 1/4 vs 1/3 bullshit never had one of their 1/3lb burgers. They were fucking terrible. Sysco prison-grade burger patties, drowned in store-brand ketchup with a thin slice of "American"-flavored yellow #5.
Absolute worst burger I've ever had.
Growing up, A&W was for chili dogs and a big glass mug of rootbeer. Never order anything else; its always a fat sack of disappointment.
That must have been a US thing. A&W in Canada has had excellent Teen burgers for decades.

But that can't be right! I have it on good authority that A&W stands for Amburgers and Woot beer!
It's not like Americans need bigger food.
I see this repeated all the time and I'm sure there's some truth to it, but A&W burgers are also disgusting and more expensive than their competitors. So there's that.
Is that like a crab cake as a burger? What's up with the giant chunks of cucumber? That sweet and sour sauce running down it is gonna make that so messy and the bun is gonna be sliding off in both sides and soaked through.
Christ that is more cursed a burger than an A&W burger could ever be.
Yeah, if this is the burger they introduced then I think we know why it failed.

I will make a 1/100 pound burger, instant money machine
Maybe the problem is that nasty pointy cucumber on the bottom of it. Wait, it's that a veggie burger? Who the hell puts pointy cucumber on a veggie burger?
Americans are every bit as capable of assuming a 1/8 kg burger is bigger than a 1/6 kg burger.
