Are we talking 1/4lb, 1/3lb, or 1/2lb? Then are we talking single, double, triple? Hamburgers as a unit of measurement is a horrible idea.
A hamburger weighs as much as 3 bananas, everyone knows that silly.

I stand corrected. A banana weighs as much as 3 hamburgers.
We don't have this one around here, but we have one about half of its (linear) size, so 1/8 of the weight. It already weights more than 3 hamburgers (unless they are like the one on the photo around the comments here).
Bananas are quite dense.
Say what you will about the American education system, but I know it’s a 1/4 lb burgers because you could get close(ish) to 200 lbs of meat from a deer if you were lucky in Oregon Trail.
I need a conversion to cheeseburgers. I rarely work with regular hamburgers.
