I like to order extra bacon on my breakfast sandwich.
On the receipt, it's called "two half-strips of bacon"
One strip of bacon?
NO!
2 half-strips.
FFS.

Well, that might actually be more accurate. 

If they said it was one strip of bacon, cut in half, that would suggest they cut one strip of bacon in half, and gave you both halves.

If they've got a bin full of half-strips of bacon (more likely), it's highly improbable that you got two pieces of the same strip of bacon. 

Knowing how lawyers work, it wouldn't shock me if some McD's lawyer deliberately made that call. Because they do a good job of anticipating "how could we possibly get sued?" and then trying to avoid that.

Seems silly--but often things that seem silly have their reasons too. 

Louisiana is into gator far more than Florida from what I understand.

Have not spent much time in Florabama, so I can't really offer comment.

Had a fair-but-not-a-ton of gator in my younger life.  It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either.  Somebody said chicken with less flavor....that's pretty much my take on it as well.  

I once ran from a gator on a nature trail off the highway I stopped at.  Amazingly, it was a public park with a path through a swampy area known to have gators, which has no fences.  Afterwards I briefly wondered how many people die there each year and how any of it is a good idea.  I think I just assumed it must be safe or there wouldn't be a park with signs and stuff.  I saw a few in the water on either side of the walkway and began to notice there were no barriers.  Then I saw a giant one laid across the trail, head in the water, but it's body on the incline up to the walking path and it's tail reached all the way to the slope on the other side of the path.  He was a big'un.  Step over him or nonchalantly turn back?  

Neither.

Run like a little bitch back.

I deem it more likely because it's a tricky way to make people think they're getting more.

Gators tend to go away from people.  If you just stepped towards it with noise, it'd have disappeared into the water (although a large one may just smirk and eat you).  
My thing is that the state must be confident there are no crocs in that area, which are more aggressive.  And there are crocs in the US.  

In any event, places with lots of gators tend not to have any stray dogs.

We have crocs here, in the coastal areas mostly.

I'm fine with just watching their encounters on YouTube...

BTW there's a [possibly-fictitious] story about A&W introducing a 1/3 lb burger in the early 1980s to compete with the McD's quarter pounder...

...and it didn't do well because...

1/3 > 1/4

...but idiots who can't do math thought...

1/4 > 1/3

...because 4 is bigger than 3. 

They thought they were getting a smaller burger when in fact it's larger.
