The McRib is back! Run, dont walk, to your nearest McDonald's
- Thread starter Officer Big Mac
- Start date
Having a moment of enlightened terror as I realize that contemplating McRib makes the infamous "Brooklyn Barbecue" headline image actually look fuckin edible
When I use to work at McDonalds, my crew and I use to call the frozen McRib patty "opossum roadkill", another "opossum" on the grill some would call out to me. It isn't the same flavor it use to be and the bbq sauce is the same standard bbq sauce used for the McNuggets. It's just warmed up and heated thus by doing that, it kinda loses its flavor.
Starting today the McRib is back for a limited time in about 10,000 stores. Yes, we all know what the mcrib really is but we dont care. Its delicious.
? what is it

Yoga mats, foreskins, trans fat. I dunno. People always come into these threads to complain about how it's not real ribs like the people who eat it dont realize its McDonald's.
For the record I haven't gone there yet, but it claims it was spotted today at that location on the McRib finder.
I don't understand the excitement. These just look like the Ribburgers/Mexicanos that you can buy from the frozen section of any supermarket, or ready to eat at any snack bar?
I mean, I like them, but why do I need to go to McDonald's to get one?

Given Internet hysteria about this, I was seriously underwhelmed when I had the McRib for the first time.
This remind me that I haven't had a TV dinner in AGES. I used to eat like 2 or 3 a day when I was a kid.
i dont eat meat anymore, but i tried this one time, and it was doo doo dumpster trash level of disgustingness
It's really odd to see these discussions about this burger. In Germany the McRib is just there. Nobody talks about it. Some people like it, some don't. It's just a burger you either like or don't like. There is neither love or hate for it in Germany.
I haven't eaten one since the 90's. Was never a fan of the raw onions. Have they changed the recipe at all?
Isn't the availability of the McRib tied to the pork's guts price? When they go down enough McDonalds puts it again at the menu and because of the high demand from McDonalds they remove it. It's not always available here too, maybe in Germany they could got a good deal.
McRib finally landed here this week. Had it for lunch Mon and Tues, might just go for a threepeat today.

I'd eat it just for nostalgia alone... but the McD's around me never carry stuff like this. They keep it super basic and don't do a lot of promo stuff. Fucking sucks. I mean, they should be happy there are things like this to get customers to come into their stores who might not otherwise stop in, but they just check the fuck out.
Pumpkin pie is tempting but I had a couple S'mores pop tarts on my morning break, gotta at least try to be balanced ya know.
McRib # 3 was delicious, just the right amount of sauce, pickles and onions. Also got a $1 hamburger from the value menu (would've been nice to get another McRib for $1 just for getting the meal, miss that deal).
It's like staring into a tasty time tunnel:
Ohhhh yeah:

I've eaten both. It's the same thing.
MA McDs haven't taken part in McRib season for almost a decade now. I hate them for it. I want a McRib again some day :(
Went to McDs today and was told McRib is gone already. :( Seems like they only bring it back for about 3 weeks in recent years. I remember when it'd last well over a month.

I don't know what McD's does to prepare them, but using the toilet after eating one is a life-defining event, like skydiving or touring the Great Wall of China
Basically, the McRib is a "bucket list" event, if only because you will want to have a list prepared of the nearest buckets when it's digested, just in case
