McDonald's cult classic, the McRib, is coming back

NEW YORK (AP) — McRib, the fast food sandwich that went viral before viral was a thing, is back.

McDonald's announced Friday that for the first time in eight years it will be offering nationwide its barbeque slathered sandwich with the cult following.

The McRib will appear on the menus Dec. 2, for a limited time of course.

The McRib is an elusive prize for adherents, who scour the internet for reports of its surfacing at limited locations, and for a short amount of time. There is even a website called the McRib Locator https://mcriblocator.com/ created to spread the word about McDonald's restaurants that are offering the boneless pork sandwich served with slivered onions and pickles on top.

The company’s social media team this month lamented a lack of concern over its feelings, when the McRib enters the conversation.

McDonald's is reintroducing the McRib nationally as it tries to regain its footing during the pandemic, which left many of its dining rooms sparsely populated or empty, though drive-thrus continued to operate.

When it released second-quarter earnings in July showing a 68% decline in net income, the world's largest burger chain said it would spend more than $200 million to support franchisee marketing during the second quarter in a bid to get customers back.

It's not impossible to get a McRib any time you want it, but you might need to travel to Germany, where it's on the menu year round.

The McRib debuted nationally the U.S. in 1982.

No thanks. Last time I tried that glop I couldn't figure out why I ever thought that this stuff was worth missing and pining for in the first place. Fit of misplaced nostalgia, I'd guess.

I had a friend who made a living trading in the hog markets. He said that when the McRib was available, McDonalds was the largest buyer in the nation.

Not trying to be a party pooper but thanks but no thanks. Will gladly pass my chance to anyone who wants it and will not think any less of you. ...................... drill sgt.

If anything will break this pandemic hysteria, the McRib will!

Texturized inverted pork rectums marinated in a spicy sauce.

I don't care for them, but for those that do, enjoy them while you can.


I wish they'd bring back the fried apple pie!

I recall when McDonalds first appeared on Erie Blvd in Syracuse. As an elementary school kid I enjoyed the cheap hamburgers and fries my folks got my younger brother and me for a "treat."

As years went by, Mickey D became less and less of an attraction. Don't think I've had anything from them in double digit years now. No biggie and no loss.

We have it year round in Germany.Always.

Such mystery meat can cause you to masticate and may even give you cooties. You’ve been warned.

It's kinda like a hotdog. You are never really sure whats inside but it's good anyways.

Thanks for keeping this thread going.

Hell Yes, I hear they will be back.

I will be sure to post pics when I am able to buy one.

Haters gonna' hate.

Eaters gonna' eat!

Viva' McRib!!!
