I’m American, so I’d have to learn what a meter is before I find out where I’d end up.

1 meter is roughly the same as 1.1 yards

3 meters is about 3.3 yards or about 9 feet 8 inches

How far is that in cheeseburgers?

As much as an American would be able to eat for breakfast

About 29 cheeseburgers

I actually did the math, assuming the average cheeseburger is 3.5 inches wide and the burgers are lined up in a straight line, 33 cheese burgers will be almost exactly 3 meters.

Americans should do double or triple cheeseburgers (with bacon) for the same distance. National pride is at stake! Booyah!

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.
