Beer?
- robmcm 11y agoIt needs to be consistent quality and non imported ideally. Guiness for example is going to cost a lot to ship, or local beer could be very low quality in order to keep the price affordable.

- robmcm 11y agoAgain it will likley be imported from countries with lower labor costs. You need something perishable, and of low enough cost that importing is unlikley. Bread would be a good option but has the issue that it's not as common in Japan as France, it also varies wildley where as a big mac is generally consistent.
- taejo 11y agoA Big Mac, as a branded item, varies by cultural context: in the US, it's super cheap fast food; in Europe it might be late-night after-party food; in Asia, an extravagant treat.
