Let's find out about the Big Mac in Korea

Hello, we are High Bear.
The story I will introduce today is Big Mac.
I would like to talk about Korea's Big Mac among the Big Macs of many countries around the world.

The price of Big Mac in Korea is 4,500 won for a single product and 4,900 won for a set.

The Big Mac calorie in Korea is 512kcal of single product and the regular set is 1105kcal.

That calorie is about half of the recommended calorie per day.

McDonald's made its debut in 1988 when it made inroads into Korea. At that time, there were mixed likes and dislikes among the people of the time, such as what burgers are so big and what people can eat, and [4] When I tried them myself, there were reactions that the amount was plentiful and delicious. In addition, it was a fascinating and noteworthy time when two beef patties were added.

When first introduced Big Mac to Korea, big mac was as big as that name. But as the size continued to shrink over time, the maniacs even mocked it by changing its name to Smolmaek, not Big Mac.

There is a Big Mac song in Korea.
Big Mac song was made by McDonald's in Korea to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Big Mac's birth.

The lyrics are as follows.

On top of sesame bread, two pure beef patties, a special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions.

Let's talk about the Big Mac event in Korea.

In January 2012, the company held an event to issue free coupons when registering the Big Mac song UCC. However, there was a loophole in the coupon issuance, which led to a skit in which several people shared coupons and one person received dozens of Big Macs for free.

In 2016, there was an event in which Big Macs were given free of charge when they sang Big Mac songs at the store.

On March 29, 2018, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of McDonald's in Korea (10:30 to 24:00), Big Mac single product was sold for 2,400 won.

From July 1st to July 7th, 2019, if you subscribe to the McDonald's official app, you can buy Big Mac for 1,000 won.

 

Big Mac is an international hamburger eaten in various countries.
So, the Big Mac Index came out. Since the Big Mac is eaten and used in various countries, economics uses it as an index designed to compare prices in each country. In the next posting, we will look at the Big Mac Index.
