The precook weight used to be 4oz (1/4 lbs) but is now 4.25oz, which, I mean, all told, isn't all that different.
I ordered a quarter pounder at a McDonald's drive through, and the cashier said, "There will be a wait on that." I asked, "Oh really? How much will it weigh?" There was a long pause, and they finally said, "About 5 minutes."
This is an A+ dad joke, you should be proud.
Aren't those supposed to be a quarter pound before cooking?
