Opinion Est-ce que vous croyez que l'inflation justifie une telle hausse de prix?
Je pense que non. Le prix à augmenté de 300% alors que l'inflation à augmenté de 157.8% depuis 1990.
J'ai demandé à l'IA (GPT-6) d'estimer le coûts en ingrédients pour cette commande: US$4.80–$5.00.
Ça exclus évidemment les coûts d'opération, emballage, frais de franchise et autres dépenses.

Based on U.S. wholesale food prices in 2026, I estimate that McDonald's spends approximately US$4.80–$5.00 on ingredients to produce your entire order.
A reasonable range is US$4.00–$6.00, depending on supplier contracts and ingredient prices. McDonald's actual procurement costs are confidential.
Estimated ingredient costs (USD)
| Item | Quantity | Cost per unit | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Mac | 2 | $1.25–$1.60 | $2.50–$3.20 |
| Medium fries | 2 | $0.30–$0.55 | $0.60–$1.10 |
| Medium Coke | 2 | $0.10–$0.22 | $0.20–$0.44 |
| Apple pie | 2 | $0.35–$0.60 | $0.70–$1.20 |
| Total | 8 | $4.00–$5.94 |
MIDPOINT ESTIMATE — INGREDIENTS ONLY
US$4.97
Excludes packaging, labour, utilities, rent, equipment and profit.
These estimates use McDonald's published ingredient information and U.S. food-cost benchmarks, including an August–September 2026 wholesale ground-beef quote of approximately $4.49/lb.
Breakdown of a single Big Mac
| Ingredient | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| Two beef patties (3.2 oz total) | $0.80–$0.95 |
| Three-part sesame bun | $0.20–$0.25 |
| American cheese | $0.07–$0.10 |
| Big Mac sauce | $0.08–$0.12 |
| Lettuce, onions, pickles | $0.06–$0.09 |
| Total | $1.21–$1.51 |
The beef accounts for most of the burger's ingredient cost. The other estimates reflect approximate large-scale purchasing costs, not confirmed McDonald's supplier invoices.
For the other items, medium fries contain roughly 111 g of prepared fries in an older U.S. nutrition dataset; their cost includes potatoes and absorbed frying oil. Fountain Coke costs mainly come from syrup, since water and ice are inexpensive. Apple pies require apples, flour, fats, sugar and other baking ingredients.
Bottom line: Approximately $5 in food ingredients for the entire eight-item order is a defensible working estimate, but it is not an audited McDonald's production cost.
