Big Mac Cheaper in Denmark Despite $21 and our Employee Wage

[Independent voter]

Big Mac here is $3.90 for just the sandwich, $5.12 for the meal which has fries and a medium drink.

In Denmark the burger is $4.80

The OP video just outright lies.

And the position that get's $21 an hour? It's the manager of the store and even in the US, managers are well paid.

And it makes you wonder that if OP can buy into this lie, what other lies has he bought into?

Stronger and better workers unions is the likely answer.

Isn't 21 Danish Krone just 3.31 USD?

makes no sense to compare burger prices with each other. Focus is the sales of meals. There are very big differences in prices and sizes between the countries. Free refill is not standardized in each european countries for example, most restaurants don't offer free refill.

Compared to the US prices, the chicken products of mc donalds are very expensive in germany for example:

20pcs. Chicken McNuggets 7.59EUR = 8.90USD, which is nearly twice as much (in US: 20pcs = 5.00USD / 40pcs 8.99 USD)

Soft drink prices in germany: large soft drink = 17oz (0.5 liter) 3 USD (US prices: large soft drink = 30oz (0.9 liter) 1.50 USD). Price difference: 360%.

Chopping up bits of cow that isn't wanted is still 100% Beef.

I always assumed it was basic economics that the more money made by the main consumer classes of an economy (lower and middle) the more that is pumped into the economy. Oh who am I kidding...

[Trollhammer]

probably because the price of a big mac is what Americans can relate to the most haha

You know what they say about believing everything on the Internet, right?

Notice how they don’t show you the whole label? Because that was a bottle of (clearly labeled) imitation honey.

https://www.amazon.com/HoneyTrees-Ho...SIN=B00NPZ5MQ4

Check out the front and back pictures of the bottle, and then compare the back label to the snippet you see in the video.

You can go to www.honeytreehoney.com and see all their actual honey products. But so far you’d rather be sap who believes fake news than research their claim.

Clearly you’re a restaurant owner who also works for the USDA.

Well, you're half right. I'll let you figure out which half.

They make up for the missed income by overcharging on LEGO.

You ain't kiddin'. I remember how cheap they were when I was a kid. Now it's like 300 € for a medium sized Lego package. Looks like my kids won't grow up with Lego. /end rant

Nothing in that video talks about hamburger.

Furthermore, nowhere in the video does he actually list sources for any of his statements. So please cite recent sources that state otherwise.
