According to Canadian news outlet CBC, the famous McDonald’s Quarter Pounder burger once had a larger cousin, the Third-of-a-Pound Burger. Granted, “Third-of-a-Pound Burger” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. With a third-pound of beef, the A&W burger had more meat than the Quarter Pounder; in taste tests, customers preferred A&W’s burger. Yet instead of leaping at the great value, customers snubbed it. The Quarter Pounder was rolled out in 1973.
