you can't blame dumbed down kids of 2021 or new math for this , this took place in the early 1980s the people in the focus groups would be 50+ today

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Maybe 1/4 lb. Burger doesn't make you feel like you have overeaten like a 1/3 lb does. Just my worthless 2 cents. If we're talking McDonald's I'm not convinced the burger has much meat in the first place. I think it's mostly filler material.

We should be glad they're eating 1/4 pounders, rather than 1/3 pounder. I mean, I wonder how many of them were fat, slobs to begin with?

Illiterate in math...illiterate in a healthy lifestyle.

Yes and a high number of those thinking this are not that young. We have been math and language functionally illiterate for many decades. Public and private schools teach both but we grease the desks so we can slide them through easier and so they can do extra curricular events and graduate with their friends. I knew several who flunked grades and dropped out of HS, many were limited in reading but most could do 4th grade math.

McDonalds instituted change figuring cash registers in the 70's cause the employees couldn't make change... stupid goes way back.
