          $339 for a damn burger?! For $339, it better do my laundry and make me breakfast in the morning.....for a week.

            That would scare the hell out of me too!

            $339.99! Damn.

            I just looked up the conversion, and it turns out it's $86.13 JMD to $1 USD.

            That makes the combo only $3.95 USD, but it sure would give you sticker shock to see that.

              it is simply crazy what some of the conversion rates are.

              I agree - that would scare me poopless.

              Classic picture of you and your boy Seth.

                The Jamaican GDP per capita is $4,100 in US dollars.

                The US GDP per capita is $39,751.

                In other words, if you were Jamaican, you would pay the equivalent of around $40 for that combo. Take a family of four, and pay $160 for a fast-food meal? Not in my budget... I kinda doubt that many Jamaicans can afford to eat there, just the rich ones.

                      Would you spend $4 on a value meal if you only made $4100 a year? That's $11.23 a day...

                        :o I don't think I'd pay $100+ for a Burger, even if it did come with fries.
