More likely a half-pounder. They already sell a double quarter pounder. And all Americans know that halfbacks are larger than quarterbacks, from watching Real Football every week.
both BK and McD used to sell a 1/3-lb burger for a while in the early-mid 00s. Wendy’s, too, IIRC. to my recollection, it did ok in sales, but was maligned for being “unhealthy”, and both chains stopped selling it shortly thereafter.
Meanwhile, modern Wendy’s is all, “Here’s three patties on a greasy bun slathered in ketchup/mustard/mayo, and if you manage to take a bite it’s all gonna come sliding out the other side like bloody pus. Comes with bacon as an option, too. Don’t forget your quart of sugar water.”

In a combo meal for only $14
the bacon is for traction!
I was thinking the same thing! Sure, a 1/3 burger is bad for you but a baconator is totally fine.
No kidding, sometimes I have to take a napkin and wipe most of it off. Really excessive.
I’ve heard this a million times. And it honestly sounds like the kind of thing an executive would blame to excuse bad sales.
