What do they call a quarter pounder with cheese on Alderaan?

1. Yeah, but before they died,

they called it 'ground Aldera Nerf-steak on a viceroy roll'.

Nerd-alert...

2. good one

BTW, I got the pic from George Takei's Facebook page

3. I assumed this would be about gravity

Like how a quarter pounder on Mars is called a 1/12th pounder.

4. Not necessarily...

You would calibrate your scale to deal with gravity, so a quarter-pounder on Mars would still register four ounces on the scale.

6. I think that would be true only for metric quarter-poundsers

I think if I recall my physics correctly, metric kilogrammes (or 125g quarter-pounders) would be 500g of mass anywhere, but in the imperial system pounds are actually weight (mass * gravity) and so it would vary on different planets.

I can't even recall what the unit for mass in the imperial system is. Slugs? Ugly, cumbersome system.

We should've gone metric long ago and would've if that idiot Reagan hadn't interfered.

ETA: A metric quarter-pounder would, of course, be 125g since a metric pound is 500g.

7. It would be true for imperial quarter-pounders too

Because you would mark your scale accordingly...you would take an object that weighs, say, a "pound" on earth, stick it on your scale on Mars, and put a mark labeled "one pound" on it where the needle landed. Then for quarter-pounders you would draw three more lines for 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4.

If you had a scale marked for Earth gravity on Mars your quarter-pounders would be twenty-fourth-pounders, but with a scale set for Martian gravity you'd be fine.

The problem with all this should be obvious: because you can't raise beef on Mars due to lack of things like grass, water, air for cows to breathe...freight on a quarter-pound of beef would be about one 400-ounce London Good Delivery gold bar.
