The primary difference between the US and Indian menu lies in the range of options both the menus offer. The range of beverages (hot and cold) and desserts is much wider than North and East India (though still not as vast as that of the US menu). The menu for South and West India has some more options. However, in India, there are two different menus: one for North and East India and one for South and West India.
Some of the higher prices in the US may have to do with minimum wage laws for McDonald's workers. 75 (about $1.16) and 6-piece Chicken McNuggets costs Rs. In the United States, a McChicken burger costs $1.29 (about Rs. menu includes beverages like smoothies and hot chocolate. The US menu has more coffee drinks such as Frappes, lattes, and mochas. The Indian McDonald's drinks menu is pretty limited as compared to the US beverages menu. Things unique to the Indian menu include McFloats (ice cream sodas) and Thumbs Up (Indian soda). It only costs $1.89 USD.Just like the United States, the Indian McDonald's drink options include classic Coke products, milkshakes, teas, and 3 types of coffee. Don’t start beef with India though, because their McDonald’s doesn’t even serve beef. So if you are American, next time you have a Big Mac, think of the Bic Mag Index and appreciate that the cost in earnings is second only to India. The main one is Switzerland, with Sweden and Australia also showing signs of being overvalued in this comparison. There are fewer countries on the other side of this coin. Though not a highly thorough system, it leads to the conclusion that these currencies are undervalued. However the gap is smaller and prices are lower in an absolute sense. Mexico, China, Russia, and India all are in the same boat as Brazil, with their exchange vs GDP price comparisons.
Adjusted for GDP per person, Brazilians pay 2.5 times the US price. In Brazil they pay $6.14 USD for a Big Mac (or about 50% over US prices). As of 2011 some standouts are Brazil and Argentina, with prices far above what exchange rates would suggest. The prices are not always what you would expect. If two countries have the Big Mac at the same price in $US, but one country’s citizens earn twice as much, you can say that country charges half the relative price. The theory behind the Big Mac Index is that a Big Mac ought to have a similar price when currency exchange is factored in. Simply cross-reference GDP per person with the earlier purchasing power measurement.
