It's not even about the units - a fraction is unitless. 1/3 of something is more than 1/4 of the same something.

    That one is an even dumber mischaracterization. If you offer a bigger, but shittier burger than McDonald's, and people don't buy it, you can't just conclude that they didn't understand your burger was bigger.

    The entire "AmErICANs dOnT kNoW 1/3>1/4!!" thing rests on AW'S declining sales not reversing from an ad campaign.

    If tomorrow, Arby's starts offering 2 extra slices of meat with their sandwiches, and then you didn't buy them, would it make sense for me to run around saying "Haha Carl@sh.itjustworks doesn't know how addition works! He doesn't know when you add 2 to something you have more of it!"

    I am not from the United States of Murica. There are 2 different A&W's. A&W Canada also only sells grass fed, and grass finished beef. Which are higher quality than regular beef.

    It is over 1 hour drive to the nearest Arby's. I don't know anything about Arby's. That is like me saying you are missing out on $3 summer deal at Harvey's.
