            @aadam101:

            McDonalds in Australia do not call them slushies - although they are identical to what a slushie is 🙂

            They look different, they are served in clear plastic large cups with domes, and are called "Frozen Coke" and there is like 3 flavours - you can get Frozen Spiders too which is the sundae whip on top

            https://mcdonalds.com.au/menu/frozen-coke

            There is a price war amongst the fast food restaurants - and i think it is down to $1.00… its basically flavoured ice, like a slushie

                    Not gonna lie: coconut chips from Nigeria sound both intriguing and delicious.

                      $1 is £0.72 in England

                      That would buy you little or nothing in a café or from a street food stall. But a quick look on a leading grocery store website shows:

                      6 pack of tomatoes - grown under glass and tasteless
                      1kg of bananas
                      800g store brand white sliced bread
                      6-pack of Kingsmill crumpets
                      Litre of store brand orange juice (with or without 'bits'!)
                      1kg of white English sugar (made from East Anglian beets)
                      454g pot of store brand jam or marmalade

                        Very nice post! Thank you for sharing! I am always surprised about how some things are unbelievably cheap in some countries and absolutely overpriced in others..

                          Here in midtown Manhattan, at a convenience store, $1 gets you a very small candy bar, for example.  A cup of fruit yogurt?  Not for a dollar.

                          A cup of coffee, no matter how small, is a rare find for a dollar.  Maybe at a sidewalk food cart, where you could also get an apple or banana – but probably not both, unless it was midnight and you got a "deal."

                          It's a pretty small list!

                            Today, was clear of the Midtown/Broadway rip-off zone, and was relieved to see a Trader Joe's mega-special on bananas for 19 cents each.

                            Peaches went from 79 cents to $1.29 each, so you could have certain varieties.

                            Even some McDonald's franchises in Manhattan don't participate in the "Dollar Menu" promotion, but then again, is it really food?    :afr:

                              So if you are broke it looks like in Hungary you can still be a decent wino.
