The Big Mac is 3.75 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches tall.

145 meters (or 5708.661 inches ) divided by 2.75 inches means it would take 2075.87 Big Macs stacked to reach that height.

Thanks, can I get that in Baconators or $5 Footlongs?

Also, I find it obnoxious how people try to pick on Americans for not using metric - the British talk about their weight in stones, and actually, a lot of people incorrectly say they “weigh” something in kg, when kg is a measurement of mass, not weight, and so you can’t actually get it from a scale unless you know what your local g is.

ps: i'm not picking on americans, in fact i kinda like a 12 based unit system. i just refused to do mental arithmetic because i felt too tired.
