Yup. Which sold better, the whopper (wider) or the big Mac(taller)

Food for thought: a sufficiently tall and narrow burger ain't a burger anymore, when it's roughly spherical rather than roughly cylindrical it's also not a burger and if it's large and brick-like it's yet something else.

spoilerCevapcici Kofta; Meatball; Meatloaf.

So burger is a geometrically bound dish definition.

Meatloaf and meatballs have things like egg and breadcrumbs mixed in, and don’t tend to come on buns.

People who put such things in their hamburger patties are eating meatloaf sandwiches, not hamburgers.

I mean it worked for subway. Until they started skimping

Their success came from it being specifically longer. It's much harder to visualise a bigger surface area, like how a 10 inch pizza is bigger than two 7 inch pizzas. Subway on the other hand only stretches it in one axis, so the number goes up faster.

I don't want long burgers, although I don't know why. Big fan of the circle.

Roy's once had the bodacious bacon cheeseburger. It was pretty lit.

It was 1/3 of a pound and elongated.

The form factor is not bad it's like the original chicken sandwich from Burger King.

Thanks to pizza, even Americans are familiar with the concept of wide

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

But how many people know that a pizza x times wider is x² times more pizza?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm having flashbacks to having to explain to idiots that one large pizza is way more pizza than two medium pizzas.

At a certain point you have to cut the burger like a pizza though

if i'm hungry enough to want a huge burger, i'd rather have two reasonably sized burgers instead.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I want a burger with the least amount of surface area.
