A big Mac costs from 79 (most of the stores) to 89 in Taiwan, which is becoming a member of People's

Republic of China in recent time. A so-called "extra value" Big Mac deal in Taiwan costs 129 and there

are two options "enjoying" the deal. One is offered in 11:00-14:00 (you only pay 99) and another is

offered in 16:00-02:00 (if you eat two deals, you need to pay 129*1+129*0.5, of course including

paying for sharing with your....uuhmmm....beloved).

Taiwan MacDonald was once famous for its world's No.1 high speed of earning money, which have let

many Americans impressed very much. In Ma Ying-Jeou's three-year tenure, Taiwan MacDonald rises

its sales at least two times obnoxiously. Ma's "three no talking about china policy" and its strange

interior policy in Taiwan make me feel so unhappy that I hope that the Beijing's next leaders would

control this island (I never choose the fake). If anyone liberalize Taiwan,

the acceptability of Taiwan MacDonald surpass the world's No.3 economical HK-Macau's

and Taiwanese will say real "I'm loving it".

I envy Hong-Kongese spending less percent eating MacDonald just Taiwanese Bian-Dong.

There are more and more dual-??? eating dinner in MacDonald, so I ..........

裡面的金額是新台幣，當然不是美金。大麥克指數就是經濟學人首創。相對物價上，台灣麥當勞接近當時最划算的香港麥當勞，筆者那時自2009年起連三年常用甜心卡，到了去年才繼續使用。那個時候在台灣，麥當勞餐廳還有推第二套半價，好懷念。剛剛一週多前台灣麥當勞又漲一次價了。
