In Hamburgerland, we have the freedom to retardedly choose to use Freedom-units (TM) like feet & inches

Because quarter pounder just sounds better than eighth kilogrammer

Throwback to when they tried introducing the third pounder and y'all complained because you thought it was smaller.

Or maybe shame on Big Burger for being too scared to introduce a half pounder.

Studying the history of marketing is immensely depressing.

You know what I like eighth kilogrammer, a kg especially of meat is heavy as hell

No, you have the freedom to not chose anything other than feet.

It's the M/D/Y that sneaks up on me as someone from the rest of the world.

Whenever you're in the first 12 days of the month, you just don't know :/

At least with feet and inches I'm quickly prompted to fix it.

Although sometimes, in all the developers wisdom that the only place in the world is the USA, you can't change it.
