Well, yes, but also McDonald’s did it to themselves too. About 20 years ago when I worked there (holy shit I just realized it was 20 years ago), they had the Angus 1/3 pounders. They flopped hard. Exact same reasoning, both from their corporate offices and me anecdotally, people are fucking stupid. They really thought they were getting ripped off because the quarter pounder was more meat than the 1/3 pound Angus burger according to them. I, tiny teenage me tried explaining it to them, to no avail. Fucking morons.

You want to lose hope for the human race, work in a service industry
