Before we begin, do you condemn Big Macs?

Do you sympathize with all these beheaded burgers, thrown into the oven?



Some kitchenomics derived from obsolete data



$137,000,000,000 planned total to be gifted (perhaps loaned) Ukraine as of August 2023

$6 per Big Mac

22,833,333,333 Big Macs

410 cm3 or 0.014479 ft3 per Big Mac

330,603,833 ft3 of Big Macs

37,000,000 ft3 Volume of Empire State Building

That’s around 8.935 Empire State Buildings full of Big Macs



…if the $137,000,000,000 planned total for Ukraine is accurate, and the price of Big Macs costing $6 a piece, that would be 22,833,333,333 burgers.



With an estimated volume of 410 cubic centimeters or 0.014479 cubic feet per Big Mac, that would be around 330,603,833 cubic feet of buns, lettuce, tomatoes, and mystery meat total.



If the Empire State Building has a volume of 37,000,000 cubic feet, then one can pile all those Big Macs into a structure



8.935 Empire State Buildings high



Perhaps even 16 to 18 Empire State Buildings, but I haven’t seen any BOGO coupons for months, with our present economy.

I used to love Big Mac’s but the last one I have needed a name change . Maybe Little Mac cause they sure as hell have shrunk in size.
yeah. i understand they kept shrinking the patties to keep the price reasonable, but now that they charge 7 bucks for one, i don't bother.
