How much is a normal Mcdonalds burger?

How expensive are McDonalds burgers?

The numbers swim...

Cheeseburger Deluxe... 56,000 VNĐ. It's just... a burger.

Double Cheeseburger... 66,000 VNĐ. Sigh. So much for so little.

McRoyal™ with Cheese is 79,000 VNĐ. Royal? Really? Always felt like a lie.

Big Mac™ at 76,000 VNĐ. Iconic. Still just... meat and bread, right?

McRoyal Deluxe, that's 89,000 VNĐ. The most expensive. For what? Maybe worth it.

• Value: Are any of them really worth the money? Maybe. Depends on how hungry you are I guess. Or how much you just want that familiar taste.
• Nostalgia: Funny, how taste is so linked to... something else. I dunno. Like my old apartment. I'll never forget.
• Location: Prices probably change, right? Its HCM city. Everything is going up, always up.
• Ingredients: What actually is in them anyway? Never think about it, do you? Should i? Probably.
• My Last Time: Last time I had a Big Mac... must have been last January I guess, late, after that thing happened. Don't want to think about that.

Which country has the most expensive McDonalds burger?

Switzerland. Big Macs? $8.07. July 2024.

U.S.: $5.69. Euro area: $6.06. That's it.

• Switzerland: Land of pricey burgers. Always.
• Big Mac Index: Economic indicator, apparently. I don't buy it.
• U.S. Price: Still cheaper. For now.
• Euro Price: Inflation, perhaps? Who knows.

My usual order? Not a Big Mac. Never. Too mainstream.

Next question.

How many dollars is a Big Mac meal?

$18 for a Big Mac meal? Bless your heart! Oh honey, I've paid less for questionable life choices.

It's closer to $9.29, says Ronald's own press release. So basically, you could get two Big Macs and still have change for, I dunno, a small dignity tax?

Think of it this way: the extra $9 buys you the illusion you’re eating healthy. Because, lettuce.

Here's why we need to talk about this, even if my wallet weeps:

• Perception is reality. Even if the average price is lower, some places, likely near an airport where they know your hunger outweighs your financial sense, are probably charging that much.
• Inflation is real. Remember when a dollar menu actually had things worth eating? Yeah, me neither.
• McMath. See how they make us think about the price of a burger instead of, like, world peace? Clever, very clever. Almost makes me forget my diet. Almost.
• Big Macs are not for health. Big Macs are for quick! It's a fast way to eat, ya know?
• The price? It varies! Location matters. Like my bad decisions, they're localized.

How much did the original Big Mac cost?

Forty-five cents. Just...forty-five cents. 1967.

It's weird, isn't it? That such a small amount bought something so...ubiquitous.

Big Mac debuted April 22, 1967. Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Delligatti's McDonald's. I think about that sometimes. Like, what was going on that day?

Trying to beat Big Boy. Eatn Park in Pittsburgh. I used to go there with my grandfather. He always got the Superburger.

I never liked the Superburger. Forty-five cents. Now? It's… well, a lot more. Time, huh?

• Original Big Mac price: $0.45
• Year: 1967
• Location: Uniontown, PA (Delligatti's McDonald's)
• Competitor: Big Boy Restaurants (specifically Eatn Park in the Pittsburgh area)
• 2023 Equivalent: $4.11
