I really miss the 1/3 lb burgers at so many places that dropped them because idiots don't understand fractions...

How is it even that difficult to understand? ¼ is 25% of a pound ⅓ is 33% of a pound.

33 is a bigger number then 25. Where is the confusion coming from?

3 is smaller than 4. And they don’t understand fractions
