These days it seems like $1 really doesnt get you much. Maybe a pack of gum or a scratch-off lottery ticket you hope will net you at least $2. Profit!
Butthe people at BuzzFeed asked their communitywhat kind of food $1 can buy in their country for the equivalent of $1 in America currency. After all, it alwayscomes back to food, and you know if you had extra money you would totally buy the name brand cereal even when it wasnt on sale.
But if you have an extra dollar, check out what grub you could get around the world. Take it with a grain of saltsome of the choices are kind of weirdbut the differences are pretty staggering.
Hungary a whole bottle of wine
Then again, they say the cheaper the liquor, the cheaper the hangover…
Netherlands 10 pancakes at the supermarket
1) That’s a ton of food for $1.
2) They sell pancake meals at the supermarket?
3) I’m packing my bags.
Norway one package of instant ramen
One package of your daily allowance of sodium will only cost you $1,so American college students have no idea how good they have it.
6
Shanghai 8 vegetable dumplings from a food stand
Can you go back and fill up containers you bring yourself? That’s a pretty good deal.
Australia a McDonalds slushie
The most important question is, McDonald’s in Australia has slushies?
Egypt one can of tuna
We can get these in America too, but it doesn’t look like it’s been run over by a truck (the person who submitted this picture to them could have found a more flattering shot, no?).
11
Czech Republic one and a half bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around…
Malaysia 10 eggs
Even though it’s two shy of a dozen, that’s still a good deal. Just don’t put them all in one basket.
Philippines two cans of Cheez Whiz
Pretty random, but let’s be honest. Anything spelled “Cheez” that is shelf-stable isn’t going to exactly include high-quality, expensive ingredients.
16
Colombia three empanadas
Three? That’s it? I think I’ll go with the eight dumplings over in Shanghai.
Honduras 11 bananas
Good luck eating all of them before they get ripe, which will be approximately .02 seconds after they’re not quite ripe enough yet.
Indonesia 67 pieces of gum
And look how excited the kid is on the package! Chances are he’s on a sugar high from chewing 67 pieces of gum.
21
Poland one shot at a bar
$1: This is a nice place.
$2: I should dance. We should dance, right?
$3: Look! You can do a polka on the table andit won’t even collapse!
$4: I’m never drinking again.
26
Uruguay one liter of bagged milk
Ugh. We have to do conversions here? That would be about 2 pints or .26 gallons.
United States a huge can of Arizona iced tea
And while there are tons of foodsyou can get in America for $1, some of them are a bit questionable in nature, so they chose this giant iced tea. Do with that what you will.
What would you spend your $1 on if we created our own list?
