I mean, I don't know why you'd be skeptical.
A&W has a write up about it https://www.awrestaurants.com/blog/memories-history/the-truth-about-aws-third-pound-burger-and-the-major-math-mix-up/
And Snope's did an article https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/06/17/third-pound-burger-fractions/
There's plenty of blunders like this. Like when JCPenny's just gave great prices and sales dropped because if something is $50, that's too much. But 75% off from $200, well, that's a deal! We know more about the JCPenny one, because it happened in 2012 and not 1980-something
It's not like I'm gonna do research before making every comment. I was skeptical because it sounds far fetched.
