In Australia, the minimum wage is $24.95 AUD per hour. A Big Mac is $7.50 AUD. You can buy 3.33 Big Mac's per hour work.

In the US, it's $7.25 USD (hasn't changed since 2007), the Big Mac is $6.01 USD, and you can buy 1.21 Big Macs per hour of labor ...

@fatsam And if you buy Big Macs regularly, you'll need that health care ...

@steveperry I do eat cheeseburgers, so I can't sneer. But it's been decades since I've had a Big Mac. Bad for you, sure, but also bad.

@fatsam I understand Big Macs and Quater-pounders got better when they switched from low-grade beef to high-grade crushed-crickets.

@steveperry @fatsam I have unilaterally boycotted McDonald's ever since i read a news article in the late 90s about an overturned lorry blocking a motorway in Wales because it had shed its load: cow's udders bound for a McDonald's factory. Yeah, I've got your "flame grilled 100% pure beef" burger right here, buddy.
