=== Comparison issues === The Big Mac (and virtually all sandwiches) vary from country to country with differing nutritional values, weights and even nominal size differences. Not all Big Mac burgers offered by the chain are exclusively beef. In India β which is a predominantly [[Hindu]] country β beef burgers are not available at any McDonald's outlets. The Chicken [[Big Mac#Variants|Maharaja Mac]] serves as a substitute for the Big Mac. There is a lot of variance with the exclusively beef "Big Mac": the Australian version of the Big Mac has 22% fewer calories than the Canadian version, and is 8% lighter than the version sold in Mexico.<ref>{{cite news |title=Big Mac?

At the time, a Big Mac in Iceland cost 650 krona ($5.29), and the 20% price increase that would have been needed to stay in business would have increased that cost to 780 krona ($6.36).<ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iceland-says-bye-to-the-big-mac/ Iceland Says Bye to the Big Mac], CBS News, 26 October 2009</ref><ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/vAij2T2wXZ0 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131016212600/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAij2T2wXZ0 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAij2T2wXZ0|title=McDonalds leaves Iceland.
