Funny Joke Of The Day

On the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of 20 years.”

The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and I’ll give you back the other 10?”

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a 20-year life span.”

The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for 20 years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the dog did?”

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of 60 years.”

The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for 60 years. How about 20 and I’ll give back the other 40?”

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you 20 years.”

But the human said, “Only 20 years? Could you possibly give me my 20, the 40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back, and the 10 the dog gave back? That makes 80, okay?”

“Okay,” said God. “You asked for it.”

So that is why for our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next 40 years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next 10 years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last 10 years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you

A&W 1/3 Pound Burger Failure Fact Check: Are Americans Really That Bad at Fractions?
AUGUST 17, 2021 BY ERICT_CULINARYLORE


During the 1980s, the owner of the restaurant franchise, A&W, launched a new 1/3 pound burger to compete with McDonald’s 1/4 pound burger or ‘Quarter Pounder.’ A&W launched a ‘Third is the Word‘ campaign to advertise their new Third Pounder. It didn’t sell, even though it offered more meat for the same price as McDonald’s 1/4 pound burger, and was purportedly preferred in terms of taste. The reason that is given for its failure is Americans’ misunderstanding of fractions. Is this true?

According to A&W Restaurants, this is true. Or at least, there is evidence that it is true. The A&W Third Pounder never sold like the company thought it would even though they advertised it heavily on TV and radio. So, they hired a market research firm to try to figure out why the burger was failing.

The firm conducted a focus group and found that around half of the people surveyed thought that the A&W 1/3 pound burger was smaller than McDonald’s 1/4 pounder! “Why should we pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as we do for a quarter-pound of meat?” they said.

The customers were simply reacting to the size of the denominator. Three is smaller than four so a 1/4 pound burger must be larger. They failed to recognize that the magnitude of a fraction depends on the relationship between its numerator and denominator. The higher the gap between these components, the smaller the fraction. Of course, a simple visualization would have helped. If you divide a pie into thirds instead of fourths, you get larger pieces.

Now, this doesn’t definitively prove why the burger failed. After all, only half of the focus group responded with this mistaken notion about the relative size of the burgers. However, it is the strongest signal the company had as to the reason for the failure.

A&W knew that they couldn’t solve the problem by teaching the public how to understand fractions. So, they changed the name of the Third Pounder to ‘The Papa Burger.’ This still remains their signature burger to this day, even though the franchise has changed hands several times over the years. It is now owned by A Great American Brands, LLC. Contrary to popular misconceptions, A&W restaurants have not disappeared. There are around 1,000 restaurants existing in the U.S. and abroad (626 in the U.S.)
