More Proof of McDonald's World Domination

Ok, so in my terribly boring class, Conservation of Natural Resources, (ahem for Tami if you should read this) I had my amusement for the day. We are doing population studies and have to use this particular website to download information.

NationMaster lists tons of data about countries. Really more info than you could ever want to know. One statistic jumped out to me. THE BIG MAC INDEX. Can you imagine? Among important, legitimate, valid information there rests stats about the price of a Big Mac across the world? I am telling you, McDonald's owns the world. They are corporate geniuses.

Of course I'm extraordinarily intrigued.
A Big Mac costs (from the most expensive to the least):
$6.67 in Iceland
$3.15 in the US
$.68 in Qatar

Qatar for hamburgers anyone?

Poor McDonald's

Ok, so this is about the best website ever. I just wrote an entire 15 paper paper on the branding strategies of McDonald's (actually not condemning them, but praising them for their igenuity). But anyway, you HAVE to play this McDonald's Video Game. It is soooo funny. And sad.

Go here. And even more funny that it is structured like McDonald's corporate website. I think zapping the sick cows is my favorite part.
