In the U.S. cities of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami, a maximum of 13 minutes' labor is needed

Wish it took me that long to eat one. < |:(~

I use the "Burger King Index", and it took me 0.511349273645227 mins to buy a Dbl Whopper w/ cheese, no onions, no pickles, extra mayo. Beat that, Big Mac!

Have we actually come to the point where national economies are measured on the Big Mac Index?

I can't afford a Big Mac. I have to settle for the occasional McD's nasty over salted $1 Cheeseburger.

it takes an average of 35 minutes of work to buy the burger

That’s faster than it takes the Big Mac to complete it’s journey through your digestive tract.

I love Big Macs. I don't get many of them now that I'm not fat, but I still have a couple a month.

"Bogotá, Colombia, came in last among the 70 cities surveyed at 97 minutes."

Yeah, but you get the Supersized Coke for mere pennies.

I takes on .003 seconds to earn the money to buy one of these soy bars, because no one wants them.

Except in San Francisco, where it takes 7 hours and 15 minutes.
