It depends on what type of food you get, whether it's a burger, a chicken sandwich, or whatever else their menu has to offer. As mentioned before, McDonald's is cheaper in the grand scheme of things, but in reality they tend to be generally the same price. For example, a Big Mac at McDonald's costs $3.99 and a Whopper at Burger King costs $3.49. Both restaurants have a dollar menu with different types of food to offer. From ice cream to burgers, they have it both. But in recent years McDonald's has taken some things off the dollar menu and raised prices. Although Burger King has more things on the dollar menu, they are actually a dollar! According to a survey conducted by Burger King, the average price of items on the menu is $4.50. Ah, drinks, something most people need during meals. The prices between soft drinks at Burger King and McDonald's are actually different. TO
