I can’t read the article because of the paywall and don’t care enough to circumvent it or look into it more, so I don’t know if they accounted for it, but prices actually vary from one McDonald’s location to another, a big Mac doesn’t cost the same around the country.
I haven’t done an exhaustive comparison, again I don’t care that much, but I was curious enough to check online ordering at the only McDonalds that’s open around me right now (it’s 1 AM and almost nothing is 24/7 around here since the pandemic, which is a real bummer for night shifters like me, but I digress)
A large big Mac meal from there would cost me 10.39, a medium meal 9.49 (I guess small doesn’t exist anymore because those are the only 2 options)
I don’t live in a super expensive are, but it’s not the cheapest either, so I suspect probably around that $10 mark for a big Mac meal is probably a more realistic average.
I have a feeling they’re cherry picking that $18 big Mac from a swanky neighborhood in NYC or someth.
I had no idea it got so expensive. It’s been ages since I had any interest eating there.

Yeah $18 sounds much higher than the $10 meal that’s probably par for the course in today’s fast food economy
Apparently it’s at a rest stop on the interstate
It’s not. This article is just tossing in random numbers and quotes take something out of context.
The vast majority of customers are paying about $12 for the big burger meals.
They’re might be a McDonald’s charging$18 but it’s an edge case.
