Video games also failed in America. Some even thought it would never come back into prominence, and I don’t recall if it’s related but the writer of the Wticher books sold rights for the game in hard cash and not percentage of profit because he thought they’d never make money as a video game.
Failed and such doesn’t mean forever. Things can change or changes in advertising/quality control can restore dead markets. Now maybe this means as you said it wasn’t American stupidity, but were also talking Americans who supported segregation at one time and by majority now do not. As different people grow up or even if people heard about this and learned to be less dumb, the conditions in which the original failure could have changed, making the statement true at the time.
Then they aren’t contemporaries of the time when A&W debut their 1/3 burger NOW ARE THEY?!
I’m not really sure what you and the above asshat’s motivation is, do you think that somehow your intellectual dishonesty will make people think Americans are less stupid on average?
Frankly I don’t even care and I am so fuckdamn tired of your kind.
Look at my profile and google EDS (Or IED before they realized how unfortunate the parallels were) and you will see why. It’s medical, not fully controllable and I’ve had it for more than 4 decades. Now feel free to spew all that ableism you’ve got all pent up.
Username checks out.
Edit: the claim in the OP is “1/3lb burger failed in america” nothing to do with the 80’s. Lots of places still sell 1/3lb burgers 40 years later.

Please take a step back. You’re getting worked up about a hamburger debate on the Internet.
No I am getting worked up about two people spewing provably wrong bullshit, misleading the entire thread, and getting tons of traction because of it.
We are now reddit 2016 and it’s only getting worse by the hour.
