The prominent Economist Magazine once used McDonald’s Big Mac as a barometer to measure inflation and average cost of living across countries worldwide. In short, a Big Mac is a Big Mac by McDonald’s standardization process and thus an appropriate measurement tool since it is a food item, sold across the world in the same packaging and same ingredients, same method of cooking.

So take a browse online, search Google or Yahoo for the Big Mac Index.

The most expensive is Switzerland. Followed by Norway and Sweden.

Next on the list is surprisingly Brazil?

Looking at the bottom of the comparison chart to gauge the cheapest cost of living country as per this measurement is India. Next up is Ukraine. Then it is Malaysia. There is a fast food war brawling in the airconditioned confines of these fast food chains in Malaysia. McDonald’s originally started these irresistible priced meals hovering just about 2 USD (for a combo or McValue meal with fries and soft drink). Other outfits tried their way in – KFC with 50% lunch discounts, Subway with Buy-1-Free-1 Subs, plus the Sub of the Day offer. Burger King did an alpha strike at the heart of burger mania: 2 sets of combo meal at 9.99 RM (3.20 USD for 2 meals meaning each set meal is just 1.60 USD?!)
