I know what this refers to but I still can't help but think it was simply A&W's and McDonald's marketing, because Carl's Jr. has 1/3lbs burgers as the default size.

What are those signs?
The alligator faces the bigger meal.
Is it true, or is it a rumor? "Quarter Pounder" is a little more fun to say, might've been a marketing strategy.
I wish I had a friend group. Even if it had the red dude in it.
we're not gonna make it, are we?
They call it the Royale with Cheese.
On account of the metric system.
The 100 gramer burger
Pretty sure it's called a Krustyburger with cheese
Ho ho ho ho, no! They're patented Skinnerburgers! Old family recipe...
Cute art
Why haven't they slowly made them "bigger" over time? 1/5 pounder, 1/6 pounder...
Rising food prices mean smaller burgers and pizzas at restaurants
In May, Bloomberg reported that fast-casual chains, including Burger King, Domino's and Subway, were all reducing their portion sizes in response to the rising cost of food.
Which is a good and bad. Good because Americans are fat af. Bad because they will just buy more of the same at a higher cost for no reason other than complacency
Even if they don't buy more, reducing the size of fast food portions would not really help that problem.
The red one might've been trolling.
Yes, the excessive question marks, very telling.
Hanlon's razor
Poe's Law, no way to know for sure.
Branding issue.. shoulda called it the "bigger by half" burger... Or just mega pounder.
