I’m always amazed how money can vary so drastically around the world. What does the minimum payout buy you were you live?

Here (Fargo/Moorhead, USA ) you could get one of the following:

About 17 gallons of gas
– or -
2-3 cases of beer
– or -
5-6 movie theater tickets
– or -
40 bottles of Mt. Dew from a vending machine

How about where you’re at?

You’ll be amazed but here in Venezuela the gas in insanely cheap because we have one of the biggest oil refinery in the whole world.

With that said, with $50 I could get:

1,056.00 gallons of gas ( yes, a thousand :) )
– or –
80 beers cans
– or –
18 movie theater tickets.
– or –
7 KFC Popcorn Chicken

The downside: Electronic devices, cars, houses, and other stuff are pretty expensive.

$1 = 8Bsf > 1 gallon of gas = 0.1 BsF

Neat topic idea!

  • 2-3 slabs of coca cola (24 cans to a box)
  • Gold class movie tickets with refreshments for 2
  • ~12 blocks of Cadbury chocolate (IT’S OK TO BE JEALOUS )
  • I think about 2-3 buckets of KFC chicken
  • 1 week of public transport travel
  • Lunch for a week at work with a bit left over for Friday night drinks
  • 5 4GB USB sticks

That’ll do from me for now :)

Hey Ivor bring me some petrol when you are in Germany the next time, because for 50 $ i get just 18 litres petrol or 6 large pizzas or 4 tickets for cinema or one real meal for 2 persons in a restaurant.

Germany is ridiculous – you have to pay taxes for everything (chairs, ...). The tax for an apple (7 %) and the tax for apple juice (19 %)
