A Big Mac went from R7.00 to R70.90 in South Africa

[NarrowBandFtw]

nothing to see here, inflation is only "3%", move along citizen!!!

PS: 3% compounded over 30 years would still only increase the price by about 3 times, so R21 ... and sure, official inflation was not 3% every year over the past 30, regardless, official inflation is bullshyte!

A Big Mac went from R7.00 to R70.90 in South Africa

A Big Mac has risen from R7 in 1995 to R70.90 today, with burger prices surging 30% in the past year alone due to soaring beef costs.

There's beef in a Big Mac?

Burger King

Hell no.

Brooklyn Brothers is about as close to edible as ZA burgers get.

All else is basically raw sewage packed in a crime scene that is laughably called a "bun".

we just don't have any decent burger fast food franchise in the country at all sadly

there's the odd outlet here or there, few and far between, but nothing on a national franchise scale that is worth eating (e.g. locally Hudsons and Jerrys are both good, but they are restaurants that also do takeaway, not fast food joints, also they're not widely available)
