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

Fun facts:

Doncaster has the most expensive large fries in all of Melbourne at $4.90
Despite having one of the lowest median personal income, Dandenong has the most expensive Big Mac at $8.10
Head to Oak Park for a bargain - $6.90 for a Big Mac

We're still wondering, because that image demonstrates nothing.
- It doesn’t even tell us what the image is of! I assume those are restaurant locations?
  
  Probably? Blue is Macca's, blue is Macca's (but slightly bluer)
- Sorry, I've spent so long looking at it over the last couple days, I forgot that it isn't obvious what it means
  
  I've updated the post with a link to the map
Wait, Maccas meals don't cost the same amount nationwide? Wtf! An absolute scandal!
Despite going to many different Maccas over the years it never occurred to me once that the prices were different per store
I 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
- Yeah, 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.

I’m sorry but this data needs to be seriously peer reviewed.
- Which part of it? I just checked Dandenong and Oak Park and the prices are correct. Or are you talking about the personal income data?
  
  Dandenong:
  
  Oak Park:
  
  The joke was to go there and try every Mc Donald to see the actual prices written down and get stuffed
