How many Big Macs for a barrel? Honest question.

• mseebach 14y ago
  Sure, show me anyone who will consistently convert big macs to US dollars, and I will happily show you the division button on your calculator. In case you need it spelled out, there is, and has always been, a liquid market for the conversion of gold into US dollars. There isn't one for converting Big Macs into anything. They're worthless for trading the second they cross the counter at McDonald's. For someone lashing out at "illiterate college students playing at economics", you're not exactly showing off your deep insight.

    He is referring to the Big Mac Index - a measure of purchasing power parity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

    As already noted, I was referring to the Big Mac index. Continue playing at economics though, sorry for interrupting.

      In that case it wasn't a honest question. Continue trolling, sorry for interrupting.
