The McRib makes a McComeback

Comebacks? Comebacks? Forget about the McRib. Now that Ray Kroc is dead will his favorite sandwich, the McHula, ever return?

That whole pineapple slice and mayo on a bun thing?

I moved around a bit and twice found myself living in a test market for McHula sandwiches (which Kroc apparently loved and could never understand why they didn't catch on).

I've heard rumors that McHula Burgers - burgers with pineapple - existed in some markets, but these were simply pineapple slice sandwiches.

If it doesn't run down your arm a bit while you are eating it, it just is not barbeque.

"It started out as a special that was rolled out into the northeast states..... About 1989 I think..."

Had my first and ONLY McRib at the McDonald's in Cherokee, North Carolina around June of 1982.

As they say, "Fool me once, shame on you..." ;-)

Oh man....that comment just cracked me up.

Sorry pal.

[servantboy777]

>>You are describing hot dogs.<<

You’re a McDonalds executive....are’nt you?

Shhhhhhh, mums the word. Wink wink

Is it now nearly rectum-free? /simpsons joke

Hey, my McDonald’s offers a second McRib for only a buck.

Problem is, you eat two McRibs at one time and you’ll never eat another one.

Sweet winter story, babe, but my ribs don’t cost anything. ;^)

Your buns are also much nicer than anything McDonald’s serves :-*

I knew Ramadan passed ... was trying to be funny. Next time I will use the /sarc tag ;)

Right after the last match before the Christmas/New Year's Holiday when I wouldn't have to weigh in for a couple weeks, my dad took me to McDonald's and I ordered one of the 'new' McRibs. It was one of the best tasting things I'd ever eaten, and whenever they are sold, I'll always order one and recall being in the car with my dad on that bleak winter night, digging into that thing on the way home...I don't care if they're made out of rat meat. I taste nostalgia in every bite.

Cool Dad - great story - thanks for sharing.

My theory is any county that doesn't have a significant number of McDonalds, isn't civilized and can't be trusted.

That said, my dog loves their cheeseburgers ... The drive through lady asks if I want a drink with 'that' and I say, "no, it's for my dog"...

[hoagy62]

My bad.

[MortMan]

McRibs usually make a comeback appearance on me, anyway.

Can’t stand the things.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You want to hear something weird? Until the War in the Balkans no countries that had McDonald's had ever gone to war with each other.

There are numerous things,including the heart and tripe,plus the stomach,which had something done to it that I can’t remember. It’s gross.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

It has to be drenched in sauce or else it’s yucky. 90% of the time my McRib is short on the sauce.
