No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

Have you ever gotten into a debate about whether it is actually cheaper to pack a lunch or to just buy something from the fast food stand in the lobby? (Incidentally, did you know that the Louvre in Paris is about to get its very own McDonald's?)

Cockeyed.com, which has also made it a mission to quantify how much is actually inside product boxes, has a handy sandwich calculator. Choose your style of bread and toppings and voila! You can see just how much that sandwich will cost you. My avacado and swiss on rye came to $1.79.
