I disagree with the glasses part as counterargument. Pizzas are sold by diameter in places that offer large and small - some even do medium. I also believe it would be nicer to have wider burgers instead of taller

    Counterpoint - pizzas are sold by diameter, but pretty much everyone I know underestimates how diameter corresponds to actual pizza size and think a 16" pizza is twice as big as an 8" pizza instead of four times as big, which it actually is. Meanwhile, a burger patty that is twice as big as another one is actually twice as tall, while one that is wider is only about ~41% wider. Vertical dimension is more intuitive for the overall mass difference.

    Until you start selling a 1/3 lb burger to outcompete the 1/4 lb burger, but people are "4 is more than 3!" so your marketing fails...

    Could just switch to grams. Selling by fraction is the problem not by weight itself.

    I say this as an American, but these are Americans confused by the concept of fractions. Using grams would likely terrify them more.

    Who would even eat the taller pizza? I'd find it disgusting. I'm not saying anything about the burger.

    You have just insulted everyone in Chicago.

    I'll do it, Chicago has terrible taste in food. Deep dish is preposterous, Malort is an abomination, and despite how you feel about ketchup, relish should not look like the ooze that creates ninja turtles.

    You ever seen a pizza joint from Jersey? Half of them double as laundromats or vape shops.

    I've been getting pizza from NJ for ~45 years. I have never seen this crossover.

    Folded pizza is real, and it's delicious.

    Looked up Detroit-style and I like what I am seeing! My favorite pizza place does what they call a sicilian style crust. It's thick and rectangular, with a nice spicy sauce. Fuck I want some pizza now.

    But back to my point pretty similar to Detroit style from what I am seeing

    For anyone who is not from Chicago, Malort is a bitter liquor that tastes like you poured anise through a filter of mud and used motor oil.
