Maybe I'll try one this time (never tried one yet).

loonatic112358		2012-09-17 07:52:07 PM

many happy tidings, may the ghost of Christmas indigestion bring much merriment and mirth to you whilst the haunting of calories past adhere themselves to your form in manner pleasing of your desire.

You realize that BHA is one of those antioxidants that people love so much?

Farkenhostile		2012-09-17 08:04:07 PM

I've never had one either but if they are so popular why don't they sell them all the time instead of once a year or so?

mongbiohazard		2012-09-17 08:06:02 PM

Awwwwwwwwwwww FARK YEAH! Love that sandwich so farking much.

Dazrin		2012-09-17 08:06:31 PM

Because they aren't that good but people have short memories so each year they think "hey, I haven't had one of those in a long time and I remember they were awesome!!!1!! when I was in junior high" and then make the mistake of getting one, again.

This way McD can get the short term memory folks every year.

KrispyKritter		2012-09-17 08:11:38 PM

used to be able to buy packages of what, a 1/2 doz patties formed to look like the McRib patty. you could make your own McRib sammy at home. S of a B, no longer in the stores. god forbid they let fat guy have a little joy in his fat, sweaty life. bastards.

Yeah, see you say that... but I'm still going to eat 50 of the motherfarkers while they're out. I'll probably eat 3 or 4 a week. They're good.

Gough		2012-09-17 08:19:06 PM

As opposed to shoulder meat, acetic acid, 8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide, and unrefined α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-fructofuranoside. Would people actually eat something like that? I mean would anybody outside of North Carolina eat that?

That's my very favorite hydroxyanisole!

Supposedly it has something to do with pork prices. Like, McDonald's re-releases the McRib whenever they can get a sufficiently good deal on the ingredients to guarantee good margins.

Kuroshin		2012-09-17 08:44:11 PM

This thing has taken a dive in tastiness every year since it originally came out. It has gone from a more traditional "BBQ sauce" that's balanced sweet/tangy/salty/zesty, and morphed into sweet/sweet/sweet. There's nothing but sugar in the sauce, and no goddamn salt in the patty itself. Just a bland tasteless sponge smothered in sugar syrup, pinched between two un-toasted buns the consistency of marshmallow.

I ain't asking for Podnah's. Please, just bring it back into sweet/tangy/salty/zesty balance, and go back to toasting the buns a bit.

pjbreeze		2012-09-17 08:47:28 PM

I tried a McRib when it was fairly new and I was so impressed that I have never had another one.

The only fast food I eat is the occasional BK original chicken sammich, but I will eat the holy fu(k out of these when they come out again.

A Conspiracy of Hogs: The McRib as Arbitrage

BronyMedic		2012-09-17 09:30:46 PM

Hey, fark you submitter. McRibs are the best laxitive/bowel prep since GoLYTELY.

Another Government Employee		2012-09-17 09:38:11 PM

Shoulder meat, huh?

The McRib is actually barbecued SPAM?!

Whatthefark		2012-09-17 09:55:38 PM

The local AM/PMs sell their version year round. They are just as good and half the price of a McDs McRib.They're best with chopped onions on them.

Why can't McDonald's manage to keep this thing on their menu? Does the animal they make it out of keep shifting onto and off of the endangered species list?

joepainter		2012-09-17 10:45:59 PM

The article states the McRib "will appear during the holiday season along with a bigger advertising push that emphasizes its high-quality pork " I really hope they aren't really using high quality pork - that would ruin the sandwich.

inglixthemad		2012-09-17 10:52:34 PM

Mmmm, processed pork remnants. Such a glorious creature the pig is, even it's scraps are good.

No, they're just running out of gym mats.

Boudica's War Tampon		2012-09-17 11:01:35 PM

Let me clear something up for those not in the know. The McRib--or at least EVERY SINGLE ONE I've ever eaten--is simply a gelatinous plop of ligaments, cartilage and (most importantly) BONE CHIPS.

If you don't crack a tooth on one or get a piece of bone rammed beneath your gum line, brother, consider yourself the latest incarnation of the Dalai Lama. For you are indeed blessed.

I picked up some at the local meat market today. Poured some Sweet Baby Ray's on top and threw it on the oven for about 20 minutes.

Farkenhostile: I've never had one either but if they are so popular why don't they sell them all the time instead of once a year or so?

They are made when the cost of pork falls in order to discourage competitors from taking advantage of cheaper meat and creating a version of their own.

TV's Vinnie		2012-09-18 04:16:37 AM

The McRib isn't the REAL McRib they came out with over 20 years ago. I think they pulls these from the market every now and then to help keep most people from noting the changes.

The ORIGINAL McRib really was a crackalicious boneless rib patty. The hideous versions of today taste like a flattened rubbery hot dog.

Been that way since Germans settled the country. Some historians call it an invasion, and to me it comes s no surprise that the English language might have a history of Saxon violence.
