Have you ever wondered how the price of a Big Mac correlates with the median personal income of a suburb? No? Only me?

- Head to Oak Park for a bargain - $6.90 for a Big Mac

We're still wondering, because that image demonstrates nothing.

Sorry, I've spent so long looking at it over the last couple days, I forgot that it isn't obvious what it means

Wait, Maccas meals don't cost the same amount nationwide? Wtf! An absolute scandal!
21 0 ReplyDespite going to many different Maccas over the years it never occurred to me once that the prices were different per store
10 0 ReplyI know compared to a 'proper' burger a big mac is 'cheap', even the pricey $8.10 one there, but its simply not worth that kinda cash. Still a $5 burger tops in my mind and i wont budge on that
5 0 ReplyYeah, you have to be completely wasted and out of other options to resort to Macca's or Hungry Jack's.

I live a literal 10 min walk from a maccas, their app says i live a little too far and they can't deliver in under an hour so they won't
I am kinda hungover and very angry about this.

1 0 ReplyWhich part of it? I just checked Dandenong and Oak Park and the prices are correct. Or are you talking about the personal income data?
