BuzzFeed, a social news provider, released a video on April 21st, "How Much Food Does $ 5 Buy Around The World?" , Which summarizes how much food can be bought in countries around the world for $ 5.

Initial taxi fare, 1 minute phone fare, 1 liter of gasoline price. There are various indicators that compare prices in the world. BuzzFeed focuses on food prices. In addition to Big Mac, rice and beer, we compare prices around the world by prices of bananas, coffee, potatoes, minced meat and eggs.

In the video, we compare the prices of bananas and coffee, and then compare the prices of big Macs in the world. According to it, the number of Big Macs that can be bought for $ 5 is one in Australia, two in Russia, one and a half in Japan, and 1.15 in the United States.
