Looking at that Snopes article you linked, how can you possibly describe such a thing as simple? there isn't a single cost in the US to compare against a single cost in Denmark. It's impossible to give a absolute true/false answer since everything from currency conversion, relative costs of living, differences in prices between regions and individual locations, etc all needs to be taken into account to give a true comparison. They try to provide context in a bunch of different ways to see if, in general, that claim appears to be true. Do you disagree with the conclusion?
What do you want them to do? Figure out the exact cost of a Big Mac at every location in the US and every Location in Denmark and average them? Ignoring the fact that this would be essentially impossible to do, what do you expect that number to actually tell you?
Most things in life are not absolutely true/false. To me, expecting things to be signals a lack of intelligence and not being grounded in reality.
