By comparing the price of the infamous burger between countries, you reach a better understanding of what people are paying for the same item across the globe. The Economist magazine created the Big Mac Index in 1986 in order to illustrate consumer purchasing power and to provide a better understanding of the currency value in any given country. I’m sure when the first McDonald’s franchise owner Jim Delligan from Pennsylvania perfected the Big Mac sauce (which took him two years), he never thought that in 1968 his creation would later become a way to measure a country’s economy. Can you think of something that 120 countries across the world have in common? That would be the one and only Big Mac hamburger offered by McDonald’s franchises internationally.
