I doubt if we ever will change. After all, this is the country that rejected the A&W 1/3 pound burger because it was perceived to be smaller than the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder.

While I am not a boomer, I do also remember when the change was "imminent" and everyone was worked up about it - including my farmer father. I was too young to understand and of course was "against it" too like a good son should be......LOL
Now, I'm like why in the HELL didn't we do it back then???? =)
