What say you GB, juice worth the squeeze?

Never. They look gross. And I'm fat. I'll eat anything and willingly say no to this.

One ain't enough though. I'm full on "Pappas to Johnny Utah" when it's McRib ordering time.

I used to love them. Then I went a decade without having one and when I tried it again I realized they sucked so bad compared to a chopped brisket sandwich. I wish I'd just kept the memories.

Same thing happened when I tried to rewatch the old A Team show and when I met up with the college ex-girlfriend.

They're freaking disgusting but proof that people are stupid. If they were available all year long, nobody would buy them. Bring them back for a limited time a few times a year, and people drool all over them. McDonald's knows this which is why they're never permanent.

Wtf does brisket have to do with it? That's like saying a Big Mac sucks compared to a nice steak. It's McDonald's, man..

It's their barbecue sandwich. It sucks compared to real barbecue sandwiches. I guess that was okay when I was 18 but it sucked after I tasted it with my head not up my ass.

McRib is actually made of restructured meat, even though it's shaped like a real rib. The patty used in the McRib sandwich back in the day was made of composed ground pork shoulder. One Twitter handle that goes by the name 'Strange and Amazing Facts' shared that the McRib is made of meat products including heart, tripe and more.

Despite the name, the McRib is not made from rib meat. It's made of restructured meat products like heart, tripe, and scalded stomach.

The nutritional info indicates it's a lot better than a bunch of stuff out there on the market.

No.
Last century when David Letterman hosted Late Night he did a Bad News/Good News segment.
"Bad news: 1,000's of squirrels die in massive highway crossing accident. Good news: The McRib is back for a limited time!"

Calm down. No one thinks a McRib is a real bbq sandwich. They know full well where to get a real bbq sandwich. This is Texas, you can throw rock and hit a bbq joint here. It's a fun gimmick that tastes good to some people.

They're now selling virtual McRibs as NFTs. Regardless of price, a virtual McRib is probably a better value than actually eating one.

They sell them whenever pork hits a certain price point, then stop selling them whenever pork prices go back up beyond a certain threshold.

It's a damn marketing ploy. When it was a permanent item in the 80s, sales weren't good.

Nope. Can't ever go wrong with a double quarter pounder with cheese, so why change that.

Nobody's made a joke about eating "the rib"?

I miss the 50 McNuggets for $5 that they used to have on Super Bowl Sunday

Never. Nor a Big Mac.

I'll get a quarter pounder with no onions, small fries and ice tea. Anything more and I'll hate myself.

I got one last time they were out, and I regret it. Most McD's stuff is laboratory designed to be ultra palatable if not exactly good tasting. The McRib seemed to escape their food engineers.

I had the impression that they made up some giant warehouse full of them in the '70's and they release a batch every time they do work on the refrigeration units.

Man, you act like you ate a piece of turd or something. Stop being such a pansy ass sip wannabe.

It's funny that some of you poison your bodies with alcohol, tobacco, fatty foods, etc., and then cringe at the thought of eating a burger from McDonald's because it's "processed."

I didn't mean to imply anything so dramatic. The McRib was more bland and the lower quality of the meat wasn't masked by whatever magic they mix in to their McNuggets and ground beef to hide the cost/quality tradeoff.

Most McD's stuff makes me want to eat three more of whatever I got until about an hour later whereupon my gut protests. The McRib was more like something from my junior high cafeteria.

I'm on Team McRib. If you've ever wanted to try to make your own here's a legit recipe. I've made these before and they were a hit. They are pretty labor intensive, but the results are worth it.

Haven't eaten at McDonald's in 20 years. I see no reason to change that.
