If your answers to these questions are "yes" and "yes", and if you are still eating at McDonald's after reading Fast Food Nation, then this handy chart (scroll down) will tell you the price of a Big Mac in many nations and regions around the globe. Notice that in Iceland, a Big Mac costs $6.01. This is the second most expensive burger on the planet (Kuwait's is an astonishing $7.33). Don't even get me started on Icelandic salads...
Oh yeah, for you Big Picture types, it also represents a measure of how over- or under-valued the given currency is against the US dollar, and gives an estimate of "purchasing power parity."
