I honestly believe most journalists actually don't understand fractions. I often see a sentence that uses whole fractions when talking about statistics and percentages right next to each other.
Always makes me think of how in America the 1/3 pound whopper was beaten in the market by the 1/4 pounder from McDonalds, and when surveyed people responded that the 1/4 was bigger.
Maybe it could start by requiring ads to prominently include a non-fractional representation of the size as well. 'quarter pounder (0.250Lbs)' and '1/3rd pound (0.333Lbs) Whopper' - though IMO I just hate charbroiled generally.
I like the charbroiled fine but BK is mediocre IMO. The smells that come out of those restaurants write checks that the food just cannot cash.
That said, while I'm usually inclined towards any policies that I feel will annoy marketing, I feel it's pretty straightforward that 1/3 is bigger than 1/4 with a very basic amount of reasoning. I'm frankly shocked at how many people struggle with it.
Not sure if my tastes were less refined when I was young or if the quality of everything at BK is just trash now. I remember back in the days of the 99 cent whopper they were pretty good and at least flame broiled tasting.
I mean they're fine. That's the description. They aren't gross, they aren't disgusting or whatever and if someone wanted to get one I'd probably be amenable? But like... it smells so good. And then you get it and it's just... eh. It's fine.

Education needs a lot of work around here.
