Stop motion video: Food you can buy for $5 in different countries

Stop motion video: Food you can buy for $5 in different countries

Apr 24, 2013 04:31 am

This stop motion video from BuzzFeed shows how much food you can buy for $5 USD in different countries. For example, five bucks will get you 7 pounds of rice in the United States and 12 pounds in China. The video is straightforward, but the animation of food appearing and disappearing — or rather, added and taken away — lends well to the context that you wouldn't get from a quick chart.

The gut instinct seems to be "Hey, we should all move to China." Better follow that up with non-Chinese salaries.
