Have you ever found yourself frustrated with the high prices of Big Macs at McDonald's? Well, you're not alone. In fact, a British analyst by the name of Sacha Fournier has come up with a solution - a map that displays the prices of Big Macs at every McDonald's location across the US. Pretty cool, right?
The app, aptly named McCheapest, shows a colorful map of the US with countless dots representing the different locations of McDonald's restaurants. The dots are color coded from green for the cheapest prices, to orange and red for the most expensive. It's like a game - can you find the cheapest Big Mac near you? The app also allows you to hover over each dot and see the specific location, price, and when the information was last updated. Talk about convenience!
It's no secret that McDonald's customers have been complaining about the rising prices of their beloved Big Macs. But with this app, they can now easily find the best deals near them. The map reveals a clear divide down the middle of the country, with the eastern side having more McDonald's locations compared to the west. The Midwest and Southeast regions seem to have the most green dots, indicating lower prices. On the other hand, the Northeast has a higher concentration of orange and red dots, meaning higher prices.
Moving on to the west side of the map, we can see a mix of different colored dots. California seems to have the most McDonald's restaurants, with a combination of green, orange, and some red dots. However, the most expensive Big Mac was found in Lee, Massachusetts, where a customer was charged a whopping $8.09. On the other hand, the cheapest Big Mac was discovered in Stigler, Oklahoma, at the price of $3.49. That's quite a difference!
The creator of this app, Sacha Fournier, is also the mastermind behind Pantry & Larder, a platform that offers expert food advice and recipes. This handy map is definitely being put to good use, especially with the recent complaints from McDonald's enthusiasts about the rising prices. In fact, just this year, a customer was charged $7.29 for an Egg McMuffin and last year, a franchise in Connecticut charged $18 for a Big Mac meal. Yikes!
But don't worry, McDonald's executives have promised to lower prices and have even offered promotions and discounts on the app. In the UK, they recently slashed prices on the Big Mac and other items for a single day in February. So, there's hope for all the Big Mac lovers out there! And thanks to McCheapest, finding the best deals has never been easier. Happy eating!
