- objclxt 13y agoYour figures are quite a bit off. A Big Mac is $7.51[1], and the average wage in Norway is around $6440 a month[2], or around $40 an hour (based on a 170 hour work month). They are high - they're nowhere near as high as you're making out.

- corin_ 13y agoA McDonalds meal in Oslo would cost you around $15, about double what you'd pay in London or NYC. It's expensive, but not $50 expensive.
