@fullywoolly @infobeautiful Reminds me of the time a burger place started doing "1/3lb burgers" to one-up the 1/4lb burger. Wasn't popular, cos 3 is clearly smaller than 4.
(No idea if any enterprising soul tried the ÂŁ50 "1/9lb burger")

@tpfto @_thegeoff @infobeautiful I'm not even surprised but still saddened. I feel like if they had said "⅓ lbs ... more burger same price" that would have been enough or make it visual with a ruler or a quarter vs 33 cents.
