Is it 10:30 yet? I'll eat at least 2 a day until they're discontinued again.

?

Doesn't sound good.

Proof that bbq sauce can make anything palatable.

Now that is funny. I thought the exact same thing myself when I read the story.

Wonder how much soy protein is in that abomination?

Ground pork, LOT's of sauce. You folks are welcome to my share.

Soy? Surely not. Maybe testosterone boosters. Mcrib is sex fuel. My wife won't be walking right for a month!

They are f***ing gross

Have to admit they are pretty good.

Never tried one.

I might one day.....but you cant dine in at our local Mac Donalds.

Its for the safety of the skeleton and worked to death crew.........absolutely nothing to do with profits...
Nothing!

I like them.

It's kinda like a flattened hotdog with some sauce on it.

Renegade is camped out down there like Attack of Clones premier

lol

Go throw some pennies at him.

Gee....wonder if Mathman likes the McRib?

McDonald's only cares about money.

I had one yesterday.

My farts smell like Auschwitz on a hot summer day.

Fook me.

No. Its safety.

McDonald's will continue to only be concerned about workers safety....especially in areas with a 15 dollar min wage.

Safely replacing those humans with robots.....safely.

Quarantine sucks, how much worse can it get?
Have Skankajawea bring me one for lunch

Yes, on the rocks.

I’m thinkin mathman probably carried PB&J with crusts sawed off instead of eating school lunch. 😃

That cracked me up

. I can see him with a McRib in one hand and a Bud lite in the other.

Laffin', the kind of farts you can't even stay in the room with yourself.

nobody can eat just one

"Excuse me" me don't cut it with these mother fugkers.

I'm talkin' formal, written apologies to all those exposed.

Fook.

Lucky bastard. Must have connections. Obviously a 1%er.

I'm still mad at them for taking away the Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel.

The local McD's fugged up last time, had a "Buy a meal, add one for $1" promo. I asked daily if I could add 5. Over trained fuggers never slipped up. Maybe this year...

I bet his monocle just popped out and he dropped his Benson and Hedges cigarette into his farina.....

Natural result of liberal policies. Businesses automate, and entry level jobs are gone. High school and college age kids won't find any summer or part time work, and thus make entry into the permanent workforce more difficult. Same with minority jobs for teens who aren't college material. You have to learn how to work. You need to learn a work ethic. If not at home, then in an entry level job. The idea of an entry level job is not to earn enough "have a living wage for a family". It's a stepping stone to something bigger. It's an opportunity to get work experience on a resumé.

Liberals hate upward mobility and done believe in it. Everybody should start — and stay-somewhere in the middle. Exceptionalism is as repugnant as poverty to them.

Along with comes the McShits.

That place ain't what it used to be.

I mentioned to a fellow recently that min wage laws put the poor and uneducated at a distinct disadvantage.

Asking him if labor costs were doubled.....who would get hired?

The inner city kid with a GED or the college graduate?


I am officially now a racist I guess....

They're a business. They should.

I might visit a Mac D's once-twice a year

Breakfast burritos about as far I go....

LMFAO

I didn't realize the McRib wasn't a standard menu item. Guess I don't eat at McDonald's much.

Try the apple fritters and black coffee next time.

F me those are so good. Grease dripping all over the damn place. Perfect hangover breakfast. I could use one of them right now, damnit.

Incorrect. They just have to look for work. Like we had to do.

My 15 year old son is working all day today at one of his jobs at an archery shop.

Archery shop eh?

Is that his excuse for why his right arm is bigger than his left?

Ewwwwww🤢🤮

maybe so....

closest is 45 miles away

a fellow you say, do tell...what?

First in line, they hadn't even flipped the menu from breakfast yet

I need to see if ours still has any

I want one, but it reminds me of the big & nasty... I mean tasty.

Fuqking niglit chit feed. No thanks...

Niglets are driven from McD's once a year, at McRib time. Kind of like the Purge.

👍👍👍

Can't get a truck and 14K trailer thru the driveup. I'm guessing that's by design.

Out hunting .
Seeing midmorning to mid day action .
Something with a blonde rack trotted by about 150yds out thru the timber.


3 Mcribs for dinner tonight.
Most def pic or it never hapoened moment.
This hunt however is up to shot opportunities.



Bad enough jonesing for a Mcrib now.

Several of you had to mention the steak egg and cheese bagel.



Gawd those things were food of the gods!!!!



LOL!!!

Now you fuggers got me giggling like a school girl !

James, you're on fire today !

My Dad loved these things beyond anything I could ever comprehend. He used to say that once you have eaten what you had to eat, as in needed to eat, in order to keep going or survive, the Mc Ribs was like a gourmet meal.

My best friend thinks they are right up there in the heaven sent category.

I have eaten them, the sauce is pretty good for fast food, the Mc Rib itself, well if it was all I had to eat, I would eat it.


An older article but if the information is true, GAG !

11 Amazing Facts about the McDonald's McRib


The McDonald's McRib is back, hitting restaurants nationwide today. The legendary boneless pork sandwich, famously molded to resemble a rack of ribs, is both a feat of modern engineering and shrewd marketing.

It garners almost as much attention for its pseudo-meat shape as its impermanence on restaurant menus.

The barbecue-sauce-smothered sandwich was supposed to return at the end of October, but was pushed back to help boost end-of-the-year sales.

Better late than never.

1. The McRib came about because of a shortage of chickens.

In a 2009 interview with Maxim, Rene Arend, McDonald's first executive chef and inventor of the Chicken McNugget, explains that the McNugget was so popular when it was first introduced in 1979 that demand quickly outstripped chicken supply.

The legendary pork sandwich was developed out of necessity. Franchises that didn't have the Chicken McNugget needed a new hot-selling product — and that's when Arend scrambled back to the test kitchen.

2. The McRib was inspired by Southern BBQ.

Rene Arend modeled the McRib after the barbecue-sauce-slathered pork sandwiches he ate during a visit to Charleston, South Carolina.

The decorated French-trained chef, who once whipped up fancy culinary creations for the Drake Hotel, is also credited with coming up the unique shape of the sandwich.

Although the McRib doesn't contain a single bone, Arend suggested the meat be patterned after a slab of ribs instead of the classic round patty.

3. The McRib is a product of "restructured meat technology."

Rene Arend came up with the idea and design of the McRib, but it's a professor from the University of Nebraska named Richard Mandigo who developed the "restructured meat product" that the McRib is actually made of.

According to an article from Chicago magazine, which cites a 1995 article by Mandigo, "restructured meat product" contains a mixture of tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, which is then mixed with salt and water to extract proteins from the muscle. The proteins bind all the pork trimmings together so that it can be re-molded into any specific shape — in this case, a fake slab of ribs.

4. The whole process from fresh pork to frozen McRib takes about 45 minutes.

Director of McDonald's U.S. supply chain Rob Cannell explained how regular pig gets transformed into the famed McRib in an interview with Maxim: "The McRib is made in large processing plants—lots of stainless steel, a number of production lines, and these long cryogenic freezers. The pork meat is chopped up, then seasoned, then formed into that shape that looks like a rib back. Then we flash-freeze it. The whole process from fresh pork to frozen McRib takes about 45 minutes."

5. The entire McRib sandwich contains about 70 ingredients — including a flour-bleaching agent used in yoga mats.

As it appears out of the box, the McRib sandwich consists of just five basic components: a pork patty, barbecue sauce, pickle slices, onions, and a sesame bun.

But, as recently reported by Time magazine, a closer inspection of McDonald's own ingredient list reveals that the pork sandwich contains a total of 70 ingredients. This includes azodicarbonamide, a flour-bleaching agent often used in the production of foamed plastics.

The entire sandwich packs a whopping 500 calories, 26 grams of fat, 44 grams of carbs, and 980 milligrams of sodium.

6. The McRib debuted in 1981, disappeared in 1985, and has resurfaced from time-to-time since 1994.

Depending on where you read, McDonald's introduced the boneless pork sandwich sometime between 1981 and 1982. The fast-food concoction vanished in 1985, only to reappear as a limited-edition item in 1994.

The McRib has become something of a legend for its on-and-off appearances on McDonald's menus. The fleeting nature of the sandwich has generated a cult-like following.

7. Individual restaurants can actually order the ingredients for the McRib at any time.

The McRib pops up at McDonald's locations across the country sporadically. It's so random because the individual restaurants are able to offer the McRib whenever they feel like it. The practice has even inspired websites devoted to tracking McRib availability across the nation.

8. McDonald's keeps the McRib scarce because the sandwich's entire brand relies on it.

McDonald's has always known about its customers' weird obsession for the sandwich, and its marketing completely leverages the McRib's scarcity. Take its "Save The McRib" campaign in 2010, where it encouraged McRib fans to go online and sign a petition to keep the sandwich around for a while longer.

But a strategy like that only works with something that's as popular as the McRib is. If you make an unknown item scarce, nobody's going to care.

9. It'd be incredibly difficult for McDonald's to create more McRib-esque products, because that cult-like following is so hard to replicate.

McRib lovers are fanatical, but it wouldn't be this way if the phenomenon hadn't had decades to marinate in the hearts and minds of its fans. A wholly devoted fanbase for a new product would take years to develop, and even then, there's no guarantee that it would work.

McDonald's struck gold with the McRib, and it doesn't want to do anything to affect its brand. Even now, by offering the McRib nationwide twice just a year apart, it's walking a fine line. At what point will consumers get sick of it?

10. There's also speculation that the McRib is really just a big commodity trade by McDonald's.

The Awl's Willey Staley argues that whenever the sandwich springs up, hog prices are almost always in a trough.

Here's more of his argument on why McDonald's behaves like a trader: "Fast food involves both hideously violent economies of scale and sad, sad end users who volunteer to be taken advantage of. What makes the McRib different from this everyday horror is that a) McDonald’s is huge to the point that it’s more useful to think of it as a company trading in commodities than it is to think of it as a chain of restaurants b) it is made of pork, which makes it a unique product in the QSR world and c) it is only available sometimes, but refuses to go away entirely."

Enjoy...

Add extra onions ...thank me latter.... yum

You remember that breakfast sandwich Burger King had back in 05. The Enormous Omelette Sandwich.. Was at camp Jackson reclassing when that thing came out. We saw the calories in that thing and I never got one. Now I’m fat retired If they still had it on the menu, I destroy one of them just got chits and giggles.

👍👍👍
Food of the Gods.

Just heard a big branch break up on ridge in a dead fall area, around a beat down trail.
Got my eyes on the area.
Hmmmmmm....

Sorry guys, deviled ham on a Ritz and a stove pipe can of High Life is as low as I'll go.

My guess is this "reconstructed meat" is held together with a substance called transglutaminase aka meat glue. Dr. Frankenstein would be proud.

No. They're both equal size. For various reasons.

EFW,,thanks for reassuring me that society has circled the drain,,,,McCrib...

I like them. If you take them for what they are and not try to pass it off as real bbq they're good.

How you 'doin Miss Lynn?

I've never tried one..... Was meaning to but always seem to miss out because they come & go. Now; after reading this whole thread and discovering wonderful stuff like "restructured meat product" and that stuff about the ingredient used in the production of plastic foam products, it seems I'm not real eager to try one anymore. Probably be better off if I never even try one.

They do that to keep folks from coming thru with a snub hose .38 starting chit.

Only works in redlights.

Growing up, our school had Panther Ribs ( panther was the school mascot).

The ones that don’t eat McRibs,

Buy all their meat at Costco.

They don’t hunt. Might get dirty.

Blood is yicky.

i think it's more of a 'synthetic' meat product

Went by and got my daily fix of two McRibs and fries. mmmmm good!

In high school, our school lunch program somehow served a knockoff version of the mcrib.

My wife tried feeding me those Banquet knock offs in a tray, saying they're basically the same thing.

Later that night I wrong-holed her and used the same excuse. She's seen the light...

Thanks for having a good sense of humor.
I was worried about that comment all day....

Wrong holed for tv dinner?


Should’ve burned her with a pall mall

Or maybe it puts the lotion on?

Lol!!!

Don’t laugh I remember a certain retired Infantryman running all over gods creation few months back buying cases of toilet paper..

We took spam in with us for my bear hunt..

I just went to McD's and got my McRib. It was an afterthought. I just needed some McD's straws for a mod to my new Hornady Autocharge.

It went down well. The clock is ticking. If you don't hear back from me by tomorrow noon, assume the worst.

OTOH, a can of Spam is probably more expensive than said sammich

$4.19 for my McRib with 3 straws for the Hornady Auto Charge thrown in.

It's now 1423. I feel fine.

Ate a McRib for supper. It was pretty good. The cheese burger with extra condiments has got my gut feeling less than stellar though...

Bacon can suck Spam's dick.

You can say that again.
