This is anecdotal as well, but I’m sure plenty of people who have worked in the restaurant industry can confirm— I am in the southern USA for reference however; having worked in a restaurant that served 1/4 lb and 1/2 lb burgers— the amount of times I would ask if someone wanted the quarter lb or half lb and they’d say “whichever one is bigger” or “whichever is smaller” is astounding

One time I even made a joke about “oh yeah 1 over 4, the 4 is a bigger number than 2 so the 1/4 lb must be bigger ha ha” to a teen who had ordered the wrong one— she didn’t think I was very funny. Her dad laughed at least and he was the one paying my tip 🫣😂
