Iceland

There are NO McDONALD’s in Iceland! 

There was once a McDonald’s restaurant in Reykjavik back in 1993, but a meat shortage caused the food chain to import meat from Germany, which came with heavy import taxes. 

This caused menu items to skyrocket to upwards of 20%! The financial crash of 2008, caused McDonald’s to opt out of Iceland altogether in 2009.

One interesting thing you can do in Iceland is to go see the preserved a 12-year-old Big Mac as a historical artifact. It’s located in the Snotra House in Þykkvibær, South Iceland.

The Big Mac was allegedly purchased on October 30, 2009, by a Hjortur Smaraso. This was the day McDonald’s operated in Iceland. He kept the burger and fries in a plastic bag for over three years after hearing rumors of McDonald’s never decaying.

The burger and fries are still showing no signs of decomposition despite being over 15 years past its expiration date.

BUT you should still go see Iceland. If you love the outdoors and nature, Iceland is the perfect place for that.

Watch our video below for some Iceland inspiration! 🙂
