How Long Do You Have To Work To Earn A Big Mac?

Posted in Interesting Trivia, Geekery by n. mallory | .

According to today’s Parade magazine, the UBS Bank calculated how long it takes an average worker around the world to earn enough to buy a Big Mac. If you live in Tokyo, apparently you can have a Big Mac soonest.

City Minutes
Tokyo 10
New York 13
London 16
Hong Kong 17
Paris 21
Moscow 25
Rome 39
Beijing 44
Manila 81
Jakarta 86

I don’t eat Big Mac’s. Heck, I try not to eat at McDonald’s if I can help it, but I think in the future, I’ll be thinking hard how I want to spend my 13 minutes. I’m sure there are better food choices to spend my hard-earned minutes on.
