Edit: It will never cease to make me laugh that I get more genuinely serious discussion comments on my meme posts in /c/Memes than anywhere else. I’m not hating, I love it.
Edit 2: Chicago-Style deep dish pizza isn’t pizza go fuck yourself
The A&W thing is more about Americans sucking ass at math than the difference between a wider or taller burger.
They had a 1/3lb burger and dipshits thought the 1/4lb was bigger because they don’t understand fractions.
1/4lb’er*
Royale with cheese
A 1/2 lb is bigger than 1/3 lb; what are you on? Did you mis-state something?
They said 1/3 > 1/4, you misread the comment
They edited it and fixed it now, just didn’t state why they edited.
Oh no the edit police for a typo lmao
I was explaining why my comment wasn’t incorrect, it’s not like I took offense to anything. I didn’t expand on anything other than clarifying to the person who obviously didn’t see the original post. Go fuck yourself.
So angry for no reason lmao. Chill put brudda i was just having some fun lol it aint that serious
No dude you’re just kinda being a dick and not really understanding the situation
You could also just have 2 regular sized ones or stop being such a fat ass.
It’s not a comparison of size, it’s just the formatting of the sandwich to fit better with the way the human jaw is made… What a dumb argument
Burgers should neither be taller nor wider. Just give me two normal sized burgers.
How about you unhinge your jaw like your little sister
Or eight. I have a large appetite. I’m only 10kg overweight. Honestly, a monster burger sounds pretty good too. I have eaten a few challenge burgers (and won) but the ones that are ten patties tall, you have to dismantle them to eat them. I support wider burgers. But every topping needs to be all across the thing or they are just serving lazy garbage.
So the invisible hand of the market has spoken, I see
This is a dumb response. Wider is easier to fit in your mouth and doesnt fall apart. Taller is just a mess and challenge to eat
No, it’s a reference to the third-pound burger
This misunderstanding stemmed from consumers focusing on the numbers “3” and “4,” leading them to conclude that one-third (1/3) was smaller than one-fourth (1/4), even though the opposite is true.
Exactly. Where I used to work there was a greasy cafe type place around the corner and the baps got wider the more stuff you ordered. If you ordered the Full Monty the burger bap was wider than my head. MY HEAD.
You’re damn right I would order it every time I went in. It was glorious…and very unhealthy, but also glorious.
I mean, I can’t argue with the little girl though, I like that tall thin glass better as well.
Add a fun straw and some decorations and I’m all in.
The tall, thin one would be better for champagne.
Thanks to pizza, even Americans are familiar with the concept of wide
But how many people know that a pizza x times wider is x² times more pizza?
Except in Chicago, cause you know… Deep dish.
counterpoint: wattaburger in texas is very popular
Wider means you get more of the same, taller means you can get more ingredients. If I order a burger with all the fixings, I’d rather a tall burger than lettuce to one side and onion to the other.
I agree that you can get more ingredients, but I can fit a lot of ingredients in a burger that doesn’t have to be a mile high. I don’t want a quarter inch (6+mm) of red onion on a burger. I don’t want a giant piece of lettuce like you mentioned. I don’t need thick tomatoes either.
Not that we should eat this, but I can go toasted Brioche bun, light BBQ sauce, 1/5 pound pattie, pulled pork mixed with Mac and Cheese, caramelized onions, light BBQ drizzle, toasted top brioche bun and that’s a lot to put on a burger but it can be done easily without your mouth having to be unhinged to bite into it. Someone will probably tell me to throw cheese in there, because we Americans are hurting for a heart attack, but still easily doable.
The fundamental problem is that burgers are a stack.
True, a burger queue might be more advantageous.
I prefer my burgers as red black trees
B-Tree burgers.
So what your saying is we need a better burger backend dev?
It’s true. I’m a bartender. When I serve a drink in a to-go cup I sometimes get people bitching “oh, that’s all I get?” and then I passive aggressively demonstrate to them that it’s the same as it would be in a pint glass but it’s just shorter and wider.
It’s fucked up, because those same people will buy a daiquiri without second thought.
If they wanted a good deal, they should have stayed at home and drank alone in the basement. Works for me.
Don’t fucking people do anything for themselves anymore. I mean this is like a service economy right so everybody’s just going around wiping each other’s buttholes and passing Around 20 bucks… Just like having to explain the most elementary things, you know, it’s just ridiculous. Like having you ever just like drank whiskey out of like any fucking thing you can find. But then you’re trying to be responsible and you measure it out. But then you end up drinking like half or all the bottle. Clearly, in a normal cup, a shot of whiskey looks like nothing.
At a certain point you have to cut the burger like a pizza though
But you dont have to dislocate your jaw ro eat it :)
Mmmh, pirger.
It’s in comparison, the plate you’re eating off of is the closest thing to compare it to so covering more of it makes it seem bigger
This is why buffets use small plates
Just go snake mode and unhinge your jaw.
