The rest of the world doesn’t bother with fractions of “pounds” in the first place.

Ignoring that where I live the weight of the burger isn’t part of the name in the first place. They are just called “royal”.
We have that too. The “Big” Mac.
Different burger.
No shit? You are just being argumentative now.
Naming a different burger was hardly an argument, I just explained it to you in case you accidently mixed them up.

The 150 grammer
Due to branding, they’re still called 1/4 pounder elsewhere.
Chippys list burgers in half pounder or quarter pounder.
