Associated Press ^ | October 24, 2011

Posted on 10/24/2011 7:26:09 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

McDonald's plans to announce Monday that the sandwich, usually available only when individual restaurants feel like making it, will be sold at all U.S. locations through Nov. 14.

This probably doesn't make Michelle's updated food pyramid.

(Unless they do a McLiver & Onions...ew.)

I hope they don’t get sued by muzzies who want to work there but don’t want to touch the actual food they would be required to make

All the McRibs were produced in 1981 and deep frozen when there was little market for them.

They thaw them out in batches ever few years or so to create an artificial shortage/promotional atmosphere - and/or to trick anyone not acquainted with this disaster of a sandwich.

Only if they dredge it in flour and fry it in bacon fat would I buy it, yum!

McDonalds is a very well run company. They lead the way among fast food chains with the introductions of successful new products like their coffee drinks and smoothies. They are very responsive to the wants of their consumers. The improvement of their stock price, along with the healthy dividend they pay out, reflect this.

Something wrong with a rib meat sandwich that has air pockets in the meat when you take a bite from it.

It's pureed pork product (not sure what part of the pig), extruded from a production line nozzle, then travels down a conveyor belt to cook, a hot iron with a grate pattern brands the lump of pork potted meat with sear marks as if it came fresh off the bbq grill.

Freakin YUCK!

I shudder to think your comment might be factual. Is it true? If yes, do you have a source handy?

Yes, it is processed goop molded into a mockery of meat.
However, its one of those foods that doesn’t taste too bad if you are drunk and need to fill your stomach. Had one a few weeks before heading off for round 3 of a heavy drinking night.

I have a theory about McDonald’s, that is, everything they make is all one thing, and in the back they have this big vat full of this stuff, these little molds combining, like SPLURT ‘Hamburger!’ SPLURT ‘Malt!’ SPLURT ‘Paper box!’ SPLURT ‘Here’s your change, thank you!’

I heard that the development of, and later deep-freezing of, the McRib was part of McDonalds’ Cold War efforts to develop a fast-food ‘meat’ product capable of surviving a nuclear holocaust...
