The A&W Third Pounder Failed Because of Math?

from Everything 80s · host Jamie Logie

Yes, this is a very real story. In the 80s, A&W released a third-pound burger to compete with the quarter-pounder from McDonald's. It was bigger, fresher, and cheaper. But it would fail because of the public's inability to understand fractions. This is a look back on this baffling story, and what turned into a critical marketing lesson for future companies.  Show Notes: The A&W Third Pounder Support the Show: Patreon.com/80s
