McShitheads donated a large amount of money to the morons in the white house, I haven't been there all year. They can shove the Mcrib up their collective asses sideways.

McDonald's is proof of the susceptibility of most people to propaganda. I don't understand how anyone can still eat anything there. It's not good, it's overpriced, it makes you feel like shit, and you're hungry again 2 hours later. The nostalgia factor is definitely real because once a year or so someone will suggest getting it and I'll think, hey I used to like it, and then every single time it's incredibly subpar food that usually isn't even made well because the staff hates their life. Stop fucking buying McDonald's, Jesus.

Earlobe meat. Such a random description, but it makes complete sense.

The McRib is proof that enough barbecue sauce can make anything delicious. If you get a bite that isn't swimming in sauce it's much worse.

If i want McRib, i skip the middle man and just buy a bulk family-size tray/tub of frozen microwaveable riblets and go to fucking TOWN

We used to get something like the McRib regularly in school as a kid.

When I had my first McRib is was so disappointed. Idk how people are into them

The prevailing theory is that McDonald’s brings the McRib back whenever pork futures are down, because it maximizes profit. That is usually seasonal- in the early autumn, when grilling season is over.

I tried exactly one and it wasn't even bad, but there was literally nothing interesting about it.

(Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children’s browsing history and they’d rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)

Man, I went to a mac Donald's today since maybe years. Everything's smaller and pricier! Why'd anyone eat there instead of a regular restaurant

In Germany you can get them year-round but I've never seen anyone actually eat one.

McRibs are the shit.

I eat fifteen a day when it's McRib season and it's literally all I would eat if they served it year round.

I want a McRib McGriddle or a McRib McMuffin just to complete the day because I can't eat them from two am to eleven am as it stands.

I've only ever seen the McRib in shows like the Simpsons, i don't think that was a thing over here back then. When i saw it on display i tried it, and it has to be one of the grossest things I've ever paid for. Like even for McDonald's fastfood slop it was so rancid.

I would 100% try earlobe meat.

It's because McDonalds only brings it back right after there's been a steep decline in the price of pork.

"The blue line is the price of hogs in America over the last decade, and the black lines represent approximate times when McDonald’s has reintroduced the McRib, nationwide or taken it on an almost-nationwide “Farewell Tour” (McD’s has been promising to get rid of the product for years now).":

This study was done 14 years ago, but I imagine it still holds true.

My friend showed up with a mcrib the other day saying it’s been forever and the advertising got him. Took a few bites then said basically this and asked if i wanted it. For free it wasn’t bad but yea agree

30 years ago the McRib was amazing. They used to take the pork patty and baste it in this stick sweet bbq glue sauce. When you ordered one, they'd fish one out of the basting dish with tongs and slap it into a dressed bun and serve it in a bag. You ate it in the bag because it was just so sloppy.

These days they just dress the thing like a burger - patty on, squirt of BBQ sauce on top of the patty. There is hardly any mess to it and it's basically just a pork burger. The experience of eating it and the lack of sauce makes it feel so bland.

That might actually be the appeal.

These are places that distribute food as nutrition ... they dispense edible product that momentarily provide a flavour sensation to your mouth and tongue.

The pickles onion and barbeque sauce are nicely balanced and crunchy though
