WHAT'S THAT IN APPLE PIES?


AMERICA'S RELEVANT QUESTION

The Question How Much Is $
In McDonald's™ Apple Pies Big Macs™ Whoppers™ Dairy Queen™ Blizzards™ Porsches™
Gallons of Gas Months of World of Warcraft™ Nintendo™ Wiis™ Issues of Superman™
Years of Income Subway™ $5 Footlongs
per American
The Answer700 billion is the same as 2348 McDonald's™ Apple Pies per American!

The recent collapse of the American economy has raised many questions: How did
this happen? Who's responsible? What happens to my savings?

However, the most important question raised in all of this is: How much is a
specified amount of money in McDonald's™ Apple Pies?

Apple Pies are good, but that doesn't give us a great comparison towards, say, a
boat. Or your car. This page was made so that America can fully understand just
what our current situation is in the food (or other) item that fits them most.

Put in the amount you want to calculate (it even accepts keywords like
'billion'), what unit you want to see it in, and if you want it per American or
just per item. Not just Apple Pies, either; after all, some people can't eat
apples.

Maybe you should calculate your mortgage payment in apple pies to see how long
you could survive.

Why Apple Pies? Because they're American. And why McDonald's™, specifically?
Don't ask me. I didn't make the question. America did. And CNN answered it.
Watch the video, which includes the Daily Show commentary on the question.
