Mcdonalds Mcrib is back
 

december 2007

McDonald’s is brining back the restaurant industry’s most-popular limited-time offer, the McRib.

For nearly a quarter century, the sandwich has developed such a faithful following that the cartoon comedy, “The Simpsons,” parodied the LTO and thousands of fans travel from state to state just to eat the sandwich at different stores.

According to a news release, the McRib sandwich has regrouped and is giving its fans one last encore presentation during the “McRib Farewell Tour II.”


Rising success could be seen all along atchison's roadway this past saturday though it's early to deem the new catchphrase for mcrib a success. "The Mcribb, It's not bad!" slogan first started hitting the airwaves this past thanksgiving.

Since Oct. 30, select McDonald’s have served the boneless pork rib patty topped with pickles, onions and tangy BBQ sauce on a special McRib bun.

“There was such a huge show of support for the McRib last year that we decided to bring it back,” said Jerome Elenez, marketing director, McDonald’s Greater Southwest Region. “We are excited to promote the ‘McRib Farewell Tour II’ and give our loyal McRib customers one last chance to enjoy the savory sandwich.”

After this limited-time offer, McRib will be retired from the McDonald’s menu forever. So they say, any way.

McDonald’s is telling McRib fans to sign a petition at MCRIB.COM to let the company know that the McRib should stay.

again?

Does anyone even realize what the ****ing McRib is? It's basically a processed soy patty dunked in barbecue sauce, unless I'm mistaken.

I know exactly what it is... Delicious

Just because it says it's a rib doesn't mean it's really a rib.

You're mistaken. It's processed pork. Processed, but pork nonetheless.

Shuddup and make me a sammich bitch? :shrug:

mmm, nothing like a mcrib on a hard bun from sitting in the warmer too long and add some stale fry's that have been sittin' in the fry bin for 20 minutes to go with that and you got yoself a great meal!

It's not an outstanding sandwich by any stretch but it's better than any of the other crap they serve there.

I hate the McRib. It's an embarrasment to BBQ.

I love when I get their cheeseburgers and bite into small bones.

That's because you think it's BBQ. It's not. It's a crappy McDonalds sandwich.

why the **** does this sandwich keep going away and coming back? they've had like three "farewell tours" for the damn thing. why does a sandwich need a farewell tour in the first place, especially if it's going to come back?

WTF, this sandwich pisses me off.

Because McDonalds buys pork surplus at pennies on the dollar. I'm guessing their farewell tour is designed to put pressure on big pork to extend their contract.

This thread makes me want a Baconator.

Believe me, I understand that it is a crappy McDonald's sandwich.

However, I do believe that McDonald's wants me to think it is BBQ. I guess that's where the confusion lies.

It's kind of like saying that no one should be angry about the Chiefs having a bad football team. Because, using these same standards, those people are in the wrong assuming the Chiefs are a football team. They're not. They're a bunch of crappy guys running around lost on a field with lines on it.

What do you mean? It's even still in the rib shape.

But the McRib doesn't claim to be an NFL team. McDonalds is Arena II League Football. The McRib is leading their division and will probably meet the Egg McMuffin in the league championship.

Gates and Roy's BBQ Pit are in the NFL of BBQ. The Chiefs, incidently, would be "Red, Hot and Blue".

there are some online games and some tribute pages

http://nessart.8m.com/ribtxt.htm

Above is one of my favorite pages about the mcrib it has more of a liberal slant to mcribology but still an infomative page non the lesser

Wiki pedia describes mcrib ok but it leaves out the Mcrib shorages of the late 2002 and the subsequent Mcribb rising of 03

this picture of micrib doesn't look very good probably taken in circa 99

Fish and more from long john slivers. From their website

this looks more like corn than mcrib

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE THE RIB SAMMICHES ARE BACK AND GUESS WHO AIN'T GETTIN ANY?! YOU WANT ANY RIB SAMMICHES YOU GOTTA GO THROUGH ME! II GOT THIS SHIT LOCKED DOWN!

disgusting.

I can't believe people actually eat that shit.

it looks like ****ing dog food.

We had the McRib in Texas a few months ago. Is this a return of that return, or is it re-returning?

I had one the first time they brought it out. It actually smells like dog food too. I took one bite an threw it out. My dog eats better than that.

I had no idea I was eating dog food. It's pretty good dog food at least. I think we'll get one for Christmas dinner.

WTF? Were you expecting a top notch dining experience when you walked into McDonalds?

I hope they freaking just keep it around. I ususally freeze a couple they stay pretty good. For awhile. i was thinking about dropping off some to some food shelters but I am sure they are having christmas turkey or something.

It's no olive garden

McEagles..

I ate a McRib several years ago and it was McHorrible. The only things I can eat from there are pancakes or the fish sandwich.

Get a bag of 10 and drop them off at the shelter in front of my house. The nice people there will give you a beer.

LMAO

If it sells so good, they do they keep getting rid of it only to bring it back?

Smells like a marketing scheme to me.

No, what you're smelling is Bob Dole. He hasn't showered for weeks.

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich used to be a limited time thing, too. Eventually, so many people asked for it that they made it a permanent menu item. I wonder why McDonald's doesn't do the same for the McRib.

I am going to Luigi's today. It's an Italian sanwich shop that is like Quizno's but about 1 million times better. I have to go there every time I visit the P's up here in Oregon. Best samich I ever had.

The only thing worse than the Mcrib is that "fish" sandwich.

The pancakes are ok.

Are you really posting about the best sandwich you've ever had (for which you probably pay $9) on a McRib thread? McRib is crap but it serves a purpose. Nobody is saying it's the best sandwich ever except for DP and what does he really know?

That's like my taco bell craving. I always regret it too.

i wasn't really saying it was the best sandwhich ever. It's just the sandwich that changed the world for the better

McRibs really are pretty tasty and it helps the pork industry immensely by using up a lot of the pork product that is usually thrown out for tankage.

So now you want us to eat snouts and eyeballs so you can keep your job?

Or do you have a large can of lips and assholes that you save to sell to McDonalds for the next McRib Farewell Tour?

If you feed the pigs other pigs parts will they get mad pig disease?

For the record I only eat this samich like twice a year because it's not the best thing to eat and it probably isn't really the best ever but it's awesome. In Medford Oregon it's reasonable too. $5 something for a 6" $6 something for an 8" and $7.95 for a 12" you could feed 3 people with. Salami, pepperoni, ham and Italian sausage with 2 cheeses. Add sauteed mushrooms, olives, onions, pepperoncini peppers, jalepeno peppers and special sauce all toasted to perfection. I'm just not a big chain restaurant guy for the most part. I can find ma/pops places that blow them away. I wasn't kidding when I said I think the McRib looks and smells like dog food. Here is what you're eating BTW.

I agree.

Here is a picture of literally the shit we are talking about before it hits the grill. Enjoy.

Funny thing is most dog food is basically contaminated shit that was being thrown out sprayed with fat to make it tasty so the dog will actually eat it. This isn't far off.

Yikes.

You just added years to people's lives BD. That's more than gross. That's downright hideous.

What???? I can honestly say this has never happened to me or anyone I know!

"Soylent McRib is People!"

Calling a McRib bbq is like calling the Chiefs a playoff contender.

At least the McRib is formed in the shape of BBQ. Not so the Chiefs.

HOLY CRAP! There's pork in that thing?

There's no way Bob Dole is ever eating another one.

Says something about American taste doesn't it? Now iof you could get a McRib and some of those frys with that stuff that they call "cheese" that really is a byproduct of some chemical process.....

It comes with a free movie rental too. I just picked up couple mcribs for the kids (they wanted to play outside but it's wet) so i got them uncle buck to watch

Looks delicious to me. In fact, if McDonalds were open I'd drive over and buy one right now.

Dude! You don't want to see any of the food you eat in the raw. Ever been to a grain elevator and seen the critters and insects? I learned a long time ago that it is what it is... and most of the time it's tasty when cooked properly.

No kidding. You guys would crap if you knew how much tobacco spit landed in my rib brine. But it sure is delicious when it's done, isn't it?

hehhehhehee

ads that little tang I always say

Does anybody want this piece of cherry pie? I'm suddenly not hungry.

Not a fan. I think the sauce is gross. If I could get a dry mcrib and put a different sauce on it, it would probably be OK.

I don't like the Big Mac either, not a fan of the "special sauce".

thousand island?

You can buy McRibs at the grocery store
you just add your own sauce and microwave

Knock yourself out dude. Don't stop there though, give it to your kids and wife too. Hell, make it a staple in your diet. Just don't give any to the dog K? :rolleyes:

Friggin amazing.

You seem to have an unwarranted attachment to dogs you don't own.

My dog was a commodity. He was kind of like a living appliance. As a puppy he cost me $250. When it was clear that it was going to cost me substantially more to repair him than to replace him, his time was over. (Hey, I adjusted for inflation, and figured in what could possibly remain of his natural life in order to give him the benefit of the doubt.)

He was broken. He wasn't worth fixing. He's in a metal box under a tree in the back yard.

I'm going to sacrifice a McRib in his memory if I can still get my hands on one.

God damnit I'm high.

I just wanted a little buzz, not this kinda shit. I can't even feel my god damn toes right now.

Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!

I'm now gonna go make a me a leftover special of a Ruben Sandwich and some cole slaw I had from 54th st a couples nights ago.

Embrace your inner high.

I don't care what your dog was or how easily you put it down dude. My only point was that the McRib isn't even suitable cuisine for a dog. Frankly if had a live in that shit hole you call Cleveland I would probably make cyanide a staple in my diet
