How much is a Big Mac worth where you are from?

[Droobie]

Couting in shekels of silver now, and considering that a shekel of silver would be worth about 1 US dollar (roughly speaking), how much, in shekels would a Big Mac be where you are from?

Also, one talent of gold in todays terms would be about $330,000 US dollars, give or take a few denarii.  What would you be able to do with one talent of gold?

[Religious Crisis]

Around where I am, they are about $1 U.S. which I guess would be one shekel.

[dignitized]

a big mac is WORTHLESS!! I'd rather eat FOOD than McDonalds . . . :D

[Susan]

Amen :)

[GodBoy809]

McDonalds is Nasty!!!

[A Sheep]

A shekel of silver would be worth much more than $1.

A silver coin from 2-3000 years ago. . .:)

[puppydoggie]

mmmm Big Mac.... :yum:

[Kiwi]

In New Zealand a big Mac costs around NZ$4.00. Which is about US$2.00. A big Mac menu (with the fries and coke) is around US$3.50. On the other hand you can go to the a cafe and get a lovely morrocan meal (rice, chicken, sauces and salad) for around NZ$9.50, which is around US$4.75. (This is the lunch menu). Yummee.

[sunshine]

ummmm....i haven't bought a big mac in ages, but i'm guessing it's a couple of dollars canadian.

[4jc]

$3.00
But the question is.....is it worth it? I don't think so!

[Clytie]

MCDONALDS STINKS! *gags*

[hotknikkels]

:sigh: aaahhhhhhh. Macca D's!!!! No dont do it to yourself, get some proper food!!!!! :P

 

Anyway gotta dash :wave:

[life_boy]

I don't know, I don't often eat at McDonald's. I wouldn't know about a Royale with Cheese either.

[rideoflife]

'round here a big Mac is 2-something. cant say for sure, cause i dont eat the things.

Burger King Rules!! haha

[ancientofdays33]

worthless

[Miss Shelby]

I've said this before and I'll reiterate. I heard (can't remember the source now)--that McDonald's burgers are supposed to be the best fast food burger for your money because they only have an average of 1.5 rodent hairs per burger. And I think they go for about a buck fifty where I'm from, but I don't buy them so I really don't know. :)

[JoieDeVivre]

I haven't had a Big Mac in ages so I don't know how much it costs exactly but I'm guessing it's between PhP50-80 [USD 1 = PhP 55].

[mistertee49]

a couple dollars U.S., you can get a Big Mac. But I would rather have a double quarter pounder with cheese and super sized fry with a large Coke!!! :clap:

[rssllue]

Get out of debt, pay for my wedding, buy a house, write out a REALLY nice tithe check for my church!

[hotknikkels]

how many big macs you gotta not buy to save that much money!!!?

[Reader Nilus]

The Big Mac keeps shrinking and getting more expensive, over $2 here, the best hamburger joint is Burgerville.

[Volos]

There worth about an hour on the treadmill.

NOTHING is worth an hour on the treadmill.

[Kit_Kat]

Between 1.30-1.60 Euro

[Jebus]

1 dollar. Yeah, and McDonalds owns you. gg.

[Multi-Elis]

For me a shequel is about a fifth of a Euro or a $
Sorry, I've just lived with shequels 18 years of my life and can't help it...

[hotknikkels]

too much!!! And they ain't even nice!!!

[Konnie]

What on earth are you talking about?

[hotknikkels]

have you read the thread title?

[-=Burnt Toast=-]

$3.95 For the burger *oh how i love the Aussie Dollar*

I don't know. We don't east fast food and we don't buy it for our children. It's terrible for you.


Also, one talent of gold in todays terms would be about $330,000 US dollars, give or take a few denarii.  What would you be able to do with one talent of gold?

After tithe (and thensome) I would buy a decent house, a work truck for hubby and a minivan for me (God knows I need this. I don't know why He is waiting so long to provide a minivan for us). After that, I would probably give about 75,000 to missons via the Christian & Missionary Alliance. I was born on the mission field and raised in the C&MA so missions is a very important, close-to-my-heart subject.

The rest would be set in college savings for my children.

[Snowy]

I have no idea..but I will try to find out

[daughter of the king]

fast food is gross
*SHUDDER*

[birdman4512]

3.50 there abouts Australian i believe it was last time i checked
so that would be about 1.40 US off the top of my head.

[AnnMercy2]

For the burger here, it is 2.19 plus tax and for the value meal it is 4.11 US dollars. For 4.11 I should be gettting a whole lot more burger than I get :(

[mesue]

I don't eat too many Big Macs, so to me they are worth the least amount. I suppose if I were a long way from home and was yearning for a Big Mac and fries it would be worth more to me.

[Kathy]

Cost to much for me to buy,I'd rather have real food,healthy food. I'll be honest,maybe once in a blue moon I actually will spluge and buy one. lol Hey,ya got to indulge once in every blue moon.... :D

[James Sez]

Big Macs=Weight gain

[hiz_child]

weight gain= depression

therefore the fast food industry should be soley responsible for paying for all the antidepressants the american people have to take.

[hiz_child]

jk.......sort of

[Sleepy Jean]

What is a shekel? :o

[doofus125]

<----mmmmm, doofus is now hungry for a Big Mac, mmmmm.....scrapes together the $2 something in change to go through the drive thru (I love having a mcdonalds like 2 minutes away, lol)......but I wish there were a wendy's close :)

[James Sez]

What is a shekel? :o
In the OT, it's a weight, equal to twenty gerahs. Now that's a lotta gerahs-too much for a Big mac

[Henaynei]

What is a shekel?In the OT, it's a weight, equal to twenty gerahs. Now that's a lotta gerahs-too much for a Big mac
In today's currency - a shekel is worth $0.25 - more or less - the last time I was in Israel. A rough "guesstimate" we used when shopping was US$1 = NIS$4.
(NIS = New Israeli Shekel)

And I *still* say a Big Mac isn't worth one shekel!! :sick: :D

[Cookie-Monsta]

Big mac??? NO WAY - nothing beats a CURRY!!!! :)

[Buttermilk]

Price depends on the mood of Big M i.e. is there a special offer on.

Give me a curry any day as well :D

[James Sez]

In today's currency - a shekel is worth $0.25 - more or less - the last time I was in Israel. A rough "guesstimate" we used when shopping was US$1 = NIS$4.
(NIS = New Israeli Shekel) Yesterday was 2 for 1 Big Mac Monday. So for a a mere 9 shekels and 2 gerahs (tax included!) , I got 2 of 'em. Ah yes, life is good :)

[oNe_TrUsTeD_aDvIsOr]

lol I agree with the whole worthless post :D

[Uzi_4_U]

Too much for me to want to buy one. :P

[PistGurl]

I live in England UK, they cost £2 roughly, that should be about 5$...I think :confused:

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

How much is a Big Mac worth where you're from?
I can't tell you what it's worth, but I can tell you it what it costs.......the possiblility of a heart attack and the very real causality of a big butt.

The other part of your question.....$330,000.00 would roughly buy you a nice new two story house on the posh side of town and a new car where I live.

But given that a talent of silver is 75 pounds of silver and a talent of gold is twice that...I wonder if the figure you're giving is accurate.

[The-Doctor]

Depends on where you buy it from...whats the exchange rate with US dollars and UK pounds?

[AtlantaFest04]

around $1.50 but Mcdonalds nooooooo

[The-Doctor]

Lets see then a big mac ranges from £1.99 to £2.50 depending on where you buy it in London...central london being more expensive. So in dollars we are talking between 3 and 5 dollars?

;)

[CJ.23]

A Big Mac Meal in Cheltenham is about £3.20 at the moment. With current exchange rates, if my American fiancee converts her money to English it's 2 dollars to the pound - the dollar is worth less than it has been in years, so I'm guessing it's about $6.40 for a BicMac, fries and coke. If you want that large it'll set you back just 10 cents under $7. That is a lot of shekels...

cj x

[KristianJ]

I went off Maccas years ago. I think we pay $2.50 - 3 US here in Australia, but I'd go Subway any day over their burgers.

[Dawn Marie]

I don't like Big Macs. Well, maybe if they had one paddy on it... lol.

I prefer a nice McChicken sandwich. :yum:

[Jesusfrk4life77]

yeah! I dont really like Big Macs! Im more of a cheesbuger, fries, and a coke kinda person but me and my friend, molly, have recently boycotted McDonalds cuz they can never seem to get our orders right! One time i went up there 2 times fore they got mine right and molly went up there 4...thatz right......>>(4)<< times fore they got herz right...SHEESH! One Love, One God, One Way!
Souled out 4 Jesus,
Alexis M

[feo]

$2.00 i Believe. Sometimes They go on Sale.. For $1.00. They Taste so Good... but... They're SO Fattening!

[hey]

Big macs are fine!
How has it ever harmed you?

[Pastor_Benjamin]

A big mac costs about $1.50 here in the Palmetto state.

[LadyBird]

I think they are about 2-3 dollars, but I'm not quite sure as I have never had one.

[feo]

I think they are about 2-3 dollars, but I'm not quite sure as I have never had one.

*gasp* You're Missing Out ! :eek:

Where You From?

[Jonathan David]

$3.00
But the question is.....is it worth it? I don't think so!

That's what I wanted to say. "worth" and "cost" are very different things. Of course, considering the social costs of something like McDonalds... well, who know? (sorry for being semi-preachy).

Peace.

JD

[ilovethelord]

2 shekels ouch huh lol I love them but wow they cost so much..

[Skrock77]

It costs about $2.20

[princess heart]

Also, one talent of gold in todays terms would be about $330,000 US dollars, give or take a few denarii.&nbsp; What would you be able to do with one talent of gold?ahhh, if I had that much money to spend as I wished... hey I could get a real life! First thing I would do would be to visit England and bring home a really great souvenir of the trip... a husband! Then buy a small house, start a small business, give a nice chunk to my small church and then have a great big happy life!

Anyone got that much to donate? LOL.....;) (Ian, better pack just in case!)

[Heaven_Bound]

Where I live they run about $2.50 which I would never spend $2.50 on a Big Mac, but they also have Big Mac Monday where you can get them for $1.00 thats more like it what they should be priced at.

[mrversatile48]

Er..

put it this way..

just done a long loud 1!

Or, to put it another way, for HQ price fixers..

As a dedicated bargain hunter, I conscientiously compare value there & @ KFC, 2/3 doors away

KFC Popcorn chicken @ £1.99 wins each time for me, in Sunny Southport

But in Liverpool, where McD & Burger King face each other, McD wins every time

[princess heart]

Er..

put it this way..

just done a long loud 1!

LOL.... loud long 1? I am not sure I want to know the answer... but one what? :scratch: Are you packed yet????? LOL....:P

[Wolflily]

Don't eat that ****, so I wouldn't know.

[Wolflily]

Oops, sorry - I didn't use a bad word there! Basically, I meant "garbage"...sorry.

[79Nate]

I've eaten' a big mac out in tokyo, and they cost about the same out there as they do here in the states. Also they both taste just as nasty as each other.

[RVincent]

Mig Mac's cost a lot.

But they're not worth much.

[GinooKo]

Whenever my kids asked me, "Mommy, can we pick something to eat?". My answer is, "Yes, as long as it's not McDonalds".

[jeshohaia]

Isnt the Shekel worth more than the US Dollar? I thought it was about the same as the British Pound.:scratch:

[sweetlambofgod]

I dont eat at McDonalds but I'm pretty sure here in Canada they are worth more then a buck.

[TheMainException]

I would first, take half the money I get and give it to a charity or something to help people. I would then but a quarter of the total in a savings account and with the rest I would splurge.

[SuperSmart]

They r about 2 dollars where i live

[Moros]

about 3 bucks

[brinny]

They're a dollar

[0bscure]

Big what? Big chunk of fat and grease?

[Bladecarver]

It's about 3 shekels.

[~Mrs. A2J~]

I put one shekel as we only go to McDonald's on Wednesdays when they have Big Macs for 89 cents. I don't remember what they cost normally :) .

Sarah

[okiemommy26]

more than one

[Maeyken]

Wow, there must be some cheap burgers out there! Here, Big Macs are a couple of bucks at least (or are we talking about how much they're really worth!)

[Diane_Windsor]

Also, one talent of gold in todays terms would be about $330,000 US dollars, give or take a few denarii.&nbsp; What would you be able to do with one talent of gold?
Invest it in real estate. :wave:

[Meche]

I have no idea.. I don't eat McDonalds.
But I'd guess two or three dollars..
But what the heck is a shekel?

[rock4lifehippie]

Random fact: Did you know that in northern Maine and the Maritimes Provinces they serve lobster rolls at McDonalds during lobster season? I used to live there... it's true!

[Kris_J]

Couting in shekels of silver now, and considering that a shekel of silver would be worth about 1 US dollar (roughly speaking), how much, in shekels would a Big Mac be where you are from?I think a better question is "if you worked as McDonalds cashier how many hours would you need to work to afford a Big Mac?" - Philippines 2 hours. Thailand 1.2 hours, Australia, 0.3 hours. These are just my guesses.



Also, one talent of gold in todays terms would be about $330,000 US dollars, give or take a few denarii.&nbsp; What would you be able to do with one talent of gold?
Alleviate the poverty in the Philippines.

[AdJesumPerMariam]

To me, too much grease & not worth much!

[kleptobismol]

a big mac is WORTHLESS!! I'd rather eat FOOD than McDonalds . . . :D
haha :amen:

[LauraC]

I dont eat fast foods its :sick:

[ajuran]

havent bought one for ages but i think its about 3 €, so its approx. 3 shekels.

what i would do with a talent of gold? live as a missionary for the rest of my live and reach the very unreached people groups.

[Saruman]

Around here, Big Macs are 2 dollars, so I guess 2 shekels

[shasta12c]

how much is a shekel worth these days?

[LilRitt04]

I just got one and I paid $4.19 and it wasnt all that good either! lol

[Fonzy]

i did not get that.

[sammipher]

I don't really like big macs either...who wants thousand island on their hamburger.

[Tangi]

what is a big mac, if I may ask! :confused:

[sictransitgloriamundi]

what is a big mac, if I may ask! :confused:

[pro_odeh]

5$ !! Norway is a VERY expensive country.. but this is without the menu.. :)

[ALASKACHICK10]

I have no idea I don't eat them cuz they make me sick..

[Kris_J]

5$ !! Norway is a VERY expensive country.. but this is without the menu.. :)Hi! :wave:
If a person worked as cashier at McDonalds there, how many minutes does it take to earn $5?

[GodFlute2]

wouldn't know because I don't like burgers from restraunts.

[mimipower999]

Big Mac is about $3,50 here, but it's bad ! Unfortunately McD's is the #1 roadside restaurant here, so we're kinda stuck. I have to drive 45 mins to get to the nearest Burger King, which has acceptable food. But it's worth every minute of the drive... I miss Carls' Junior and Arby's :(

[Chrissy4]

It is worth $1.99 here

[MeganCree]

yea i was gonna say, about 2 dollars. i never get a big mac, i prefer, mc d's Chicken nuggets,, yuuuuuuuuuuuuum

[charvel]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Miss Spaulding]

Big Macs are worthless. Really, all fast food is. McDonalds is so disgusting.

[MeganCree]

why are u confused charvel?

[beehoney]

I don't frequent McDonald's, so I don't know the price of a big mac

[Amy47]

It's worth about 3 U.S. Dollars here in Canada so that would be 4 Canadian dollars

[firestar]

I don't even know, I have never eaten a Big Mac in my life.

[scrumpyjack]

about R10 in South africa which is $1.5

[rapsinger4]

it would be mroe than one shekl.

[handmaiden97]

Its been awhile since I actually bought a big mac, but I suppose it is between 1 & 2 bucks

[s_davpt]

What are you talkin about Mc Donalds or A big Plate of Mac-N-Cheese:help:

[lonelyflower]

Big Macs are worth nothing but mean the exploitation of people animals and the environment.

[romans324]

belive $2.49 US plus tax of course in Penns.

[Christian_Babe234]

a big mac is WORTHLESS!! I'd rather eat FOOD than McDonalds . . . :D
I agree BIG TIME

[YC Bearzie]

oh about $3.50 can which would be about $4 us

[HawaiianTropicalDude]

McDonalds is Nasty!!! only if you live there! once a month:yum:

[Missy Baby]

$3.50 for a big mac alone in Australia and as a combo i think its $5.95 for a small combo or something, not so sure anymore. Been so long since i have been there!

[On_Fire_4_God_Gurl]

NZ $4.00 or $6.95 combo

[ysl_75]

:confused: Dont know...

[krys4ever]

I have no idea what a shekel is, but a Big Mac here is worth a little over a dollar.

[AnimalMother]

quite more than one shekel.
or would the bigmac still fare at about 1 shekel, but the dollar-shekel ratio be 2-1 nowadays?
a shekel is still a shekel, but a buck isn't much these days.
