Is A&W a good source on why their huge marketing stunt failed?

It was in newspapers, you can literally search it and read scans of it right now.

Even in the 70s there were people who marveled at how stupid the angry idiots who thought 1/3 was less than 1/4 and you can go back and read those articles and see their own words.

Ooh, I wanna read these.

I am having trouble finding scans, though. Do you have any links?

There is already at least one in the thread and I'm not doing free work for you today.

Okay.
