Yeah, they are pretty good, not great, but they are a good once a year treat.

I must say, I liked these a lot in the 90's. I ate it again when they brought it back the last time around... and it tasted about the same, but I was no longer enamored with it. It was a lot smaller than I remembered it being too.

But drat, the sandwich as presented in the ads sure make my mouth water. Welp, back to plain old water and sardines.

If I were to sell a poo poo sandwich, it would need a really good marketing campaign. Perhaps something seasonal? A false sense of scarcity for the poo poo sandwich, an illusion of supply to raise demand?

tbh I trust McD meat more than a local restaurant's, they're under much more intense scrutiny and were the first fast food chain to quit using pink slime before it was a national conversation

that being said the McRib has way too much of the sugary BBQ sauce and you can tell it's because without it the patty looks really gross

Wasn't pink slime such a fake thing to the point that the media companies generally capable of weaseling their way out of broadcasting objective lies under suits using the excuse that it's just "entertainment broadcasting" actually got successfully sued over their portrayal of the product.

The McRib looks like one of those tiny pathetic "authentic 'real meat' boneless rib" things you get in a hungry man meal

As a mcd employee I hate the return of the mcrib because the sauce burns my nostrils when i heat it in the morning. I do enjoy the increase in sales it brings for a couple weeks before everyone tires of it again.

There was an article I'm too lazy to find right now, but the McRib is McDonald's way of regulating and correcting abnormally low pork prices by increasing demand and reducing supply.

Anyone who doesn't eat at least one McRib each time they bring it back should have their citizenship rescinded.

They basically wait for porkbutt to get cheap enough and then buy it all up to sell it right? I think most of their other stuff is grown on their own farms/ranches.

Man I am pumped for the return of the McRib sandwich!!! It's a good sandwich to eat, and is available at your local McDonalds RIGHT NOW. For how long, nobody knows though. Don't wait and miss out on this limited time offering!

Any goons like the McRib sandwich? It's a delicious pork-based sandwich slathered in tangy barbecue sauce and garnished with onions & pickles. Talk about your favorite McRib memories ITT.

Are you really Lena Dunham op?

It's like this but more complicated. McD's has a big handle on pork suppliers too (I don't know if futures or they actually own farms or what) but having low pork prices negatively effects their company.

It's the least McDonald's like offering on the menu. It's not good, obviously. Definitely to be experienced though.
