    Except it’s not true. That was just the excuse A&W made when going bankrupt. No one else had problems selling 1/3lb burgers in the US.

        Yeah, I would think so. No other restaurant had problems selling 1/3lb burgers. Braums and Carls Jr sling them by the truckload. Almost all the small family restaurants here sell their burgers by 1/3lb 2/3lb sizes. And I don’t exactly live in an area known for it’s high intelligence. So I’m calling shenanigans.

          Every record that I can find says Carls Jr debut their 1/3 lb thickburger in 2002 and Braum’s was founded in the 1980s.

          So they were absolutely NOT contemporaries of A&W when they were marketing their 1/3 lb burgers.

          I’m not really sure what people like you get from coming here and lying on the internet, but I am so fuckdamn tired of it.

            Username checks out.

            Edit: the claim in the OP is “1/3lb burger failed in america” nothing to do with the 80’s. Lots of places still sell 1/3lb burgers 40 years later.

              Then they aren’t contemporaries of the time when A&W debut their 1/3 burger NOW ARE THEY?!

              I’m not really sure what you and the above asshat’s motivation is, do you think that somehow your intellectual dishonesty will make people think Americans are less stupid on average?

              Frankly I don’t even care and I am so fuckdamn tired of your kind.

                Please take a step back. You’re getting worked up about a hamburger debate on the Internet.

                  No I am getting worked up about two people spewing provably wrong bullshit, misleading the entire thread, and getting tons of traction because of it.

                  We are now reddit 2016 and it’s only getting worse by the hour.
