Is there anything the Biden economy hasn’t ruined?
According to a new report from The New York Post, the price of McDonald’s iconic Big Mac hamburger has skyrocketed under Joe Biden; the average price is now estimated at $5.15, or nearly 22% more since the pre-pandemic era, a new study shows.
Hawaii has the most expensive ‘Mac’ at $5.31, followed by New York and New Jersey at $5.23 and $5.19, respectively. Californians pay $5.11 for the iconic burger.
From The New York Post:
Out of the more than 13,000 McDonald’s in the US, those in Mississippi were found to have the cheapest Big Macs, at $3.91.
After Mississippi, the best bang for your buck can be found in Arkansas, with the Big Mac available for $3.95, while Alabama, Missouri and South Dakota tied for the third-cheapest option at $3.99.
Middle America states such as Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma all listed the Big Mac at $4.07.
The prices are a far cry from the 45 cents the Big Mac originally cost when it made its debut in 1967 in Pennsylvania.
The burgers’ rising cost has been fueled by inflation, which currently remains stubbornly high at 6%.
