The McRib is like that BBQ hoagie in high school but somehow worse.

Yeah sure I'll have a McRib, but to wash it down I'll need a Barq's root beer

Breakfast Feud posted: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. for what reason. Isn't the mcrib like the only thing they make with pork nm apparently i forget what ham and bacon comes from

here's the article about the mcrib as arbitrage: https://www.theawl.com/2011/11/a-conspiracy-of-hogs-the-mcrib-as-arbitrage/ it's pretty interesting but the guy freely admits that he's just having fun with correlations, and that there are other explanations for the data that make just as much sense

proof of concept posted:here's the article about the mcrib as arbitrage: https://www.theawl.com/2011/11/a-conspiracy-of-hogs-the-mcrib-as-arbitrage/ That seems like an awful lot of words to suggest that they tend to sell the McRib when pork is cheap. I legit thought that was the common and even officially recognized explanation, didn't realize it was a conspiracy theory. Though it does sort of raise the question on why there aren't more pork fast food products in general, breakfast sausages and bacon as a topping are basically it. Feels like there could be an arbies for ham that would do well.

myDad posted:Probably has to do with the price Cheap cuts of pork are only marginally more expensive than chicken tho. If you're buying meat on a budget porkbutt and whole chickens are generally your best bet outside of sales, beef is on a whole nother tier even when it's cheap. yet you don't see fast food joints shirking beef, it's basically the staple. e: I guess that sort of means that maybe the chains can cut a better deal for poultry or beef on a broad scale it's just sort of curious as to why.

The other thing to keep in mind is that raw pork goes bad *really* fast, even under refrigeration.

I think you nailed it. When you're dealing with an economy of scale like McD's then this is probably the deciding factor.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of meat is used in the mcrib, then I quickly dismiss the idea as I eat it.

Driving past a taco Bell was a mistake. The smell of the over spiced beans immediately caused my pants to fly off and my rear end erupted, coating myself and the entire interior of my car with a thin oily sheen of filth.
