The Big Mac cost just 45 cents when it first appeared in a Pennsylvania franchise in 1967 before it rolled out to all McDonald’s locations a year later.

It was invented by franchisee Jim Delligatti, who used it to feed steelworkers left hungry for the ordinary cheeseburger.

The Big Mac index was invented in 1986 by The Economist as a humorous way to examine whether different currencies around the world were at their “right level.”

It is based on the theory of purchasing power parity: the notion that identical goods in one country will cost the same in another once their exchange rate is applied.

Investors can use the index to show inflation over time and examine the strength of a country’s currency.

In 1996, the cost of a Big Mac was $2.36, which increased to $4.33 in June 2012, and the most recent data shows that a Big Mac now costs as much as $5.31.

The $2.95 price difference highlights the impact of inflation over the past 26 years.

McDonald’s has previously confirmed that prices are determined by franchise owners at the restaurant level and vary by location.
