minus-squareAriselas@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·14 days agoI remember hearing about some burger joint (maybe a burger king of sorts) that came out with a 1/3rd pounder to compete with the 1/4 pounder. But it failed because the perception was that 4 is bigger than 3. Math is hard for people.
minus-squareneidu4@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 days agoShould’ve called it a 2/6 pounder
minus-squarezergtoshi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 days agoI’d beat that with the 3/9 pounder!
