It IS the reason. They quite literally did a study to figure out why. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/76144/why-no-one-wanted-aws-third-pound-burger

That's a small sample group, and A&W doesn't have the exposure that McDonalds has. I think I know of maybe 1 or 2 A&W locations that I would have to drive at least 30 minutes to get to. I can get to 3 different McDonalds in about 5 minutes. People being stupid is a problem, sure. But this is ultimately a failure of marketing and real estate and maybe food quality. I can't say McDonalds has better food, I wouldn't know, I haven't been to an A&W since I was a kid because there are so few locations.

However, the burger likely failed because of a their inferior business model, not because maffs

This really does prove the ignorance of the general public. Leading to me thinking how horrible our schools are. And now we know how the chinese sold so many fidget spinners.
