Pricing in Denmark
How much would you have to pay for a tomato ketchup sachet in a fast food outlet and an how much for a nice ice cream in an ice cream parlour? Well, I guess in most countries of the world, the ketchup would come for free. In the US you even get about 8 sachets in your bag by default, regardless of what you order. And and ice cream would cost somewhere around EUR 1.-, at least in Germany.
Not so in Denmark. At least in ‘Sunset Blvd.’ - apparently the Danish McDonalds - you have to pay an additional 1.5 DKK (corresponding to about EUR 0.20) for a small sachet of 15 ml Heinz ketchup. For a second flavour in your ice cone, however, you have to pay only 2 DKK (about EUR 0.25) on top of your DKK 18 (EUR 2.50) for the first flavour.
So next time you are in Denmark, rather have your french fries with ice cream, that’s much better value for money! But you should make sure that you do not pay with your credit card. Otherwise you will be charged 3% on top! Another Danish speciality…
