Try to compete with McDonald’s marketing on their brand new 1/4 pounder

Get absolutely destroyed when piggy-backing their marketing strategy fails

Blame the customer for not understanding fractions

Why has no one introduced a 1/8th pounder and charged more for it?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Wait no, they should do that. The eighth burger would be a success (although to be fair the 1/3 Burger was decades ago so maybe times have changed)

Because at that point the size difference would be clearly visible.

Also many fast food places have, and they're called sliders.

The same kinda people who would have assumed the 1/4 pounder was bigger 30 years ago
