It’s bait targeted at them. Notice how FO3 is portrayed as having more to it than 2.

Fallout 1 being lesser than 2 is a common opinion on most sites, but it’s clearly bait to place 3 above 2 by showing the larger sandwich.

New Vegas is taking a shot as well, it uses a chicken sandwich to show it’s a different studio but still shows itself as having less than the one I assume is a Big Mac or whopper. Nobody places 3 above NV.

The fish sandwich doesn’t make sense for 4. They should have used a sandwich everyone hates or the target audience hates. Nobody likes 4 more than any except 3.

Why do people in this thread say sandwich when it's a burger? I'm not a native English speaker so it's an honest question.

americans tend to use burger and sandwich interchangeably, unsure why/when it started but it at least seems to be a US-centric phenomenon

They are not used interchangeably in the US, people might call a burger a sandwich, but would never call a (non burger) sandwich (like a grilled cheese, tuna fish sandwich, etc) a burger.

Not all burgers are beef, yea turkey burgers are a thing here. But it is different from the turkey sandwich, and you wouldn't call one of those a burger.

Burgers are a subset of sandwiches, so while you can call burgers sandwiches, you can't do the reverse. Dogs are animals, but the words aren't interchangeable.

You could lump turkey burgers in like OP did by calling them, and a bunch of things sandwiches as a group, but I don't think you'd call turkey burgers a sandwich otherwise (because the turkey sandwich is a separate, already existing thing)

I feel like we only call them turkey burgers because of American humor rather than anyone genuinely feeling like it’s a burger.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Let's just compromise and call them "turgers".

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

I’m going to give a respectful no

Smh the left is so divisive.
