Why is it still a big deal when McDonald's has the McRib?

If I answer, I'll get banned...again

Marketing. Artificial scarcity.

Usually means pork prices are at an a low when the McRib is back.

Nah. They know that people wouldn't care about the mcribb if they had it all the time so they only bring it around periodically so that people think that they need to get it now. It creates a sense of urgency. They have studied this to a science and have also experimented with making it a full time menu item. People didn't order it as much. The mcribb is always available somewhere. They base its availability off of geographical area.

People love that nastiness

I bought one one just because of the hype.


shite was awful...and I'm someone who guiltily enjoys most things McD has to offer. But that thing is terribel.

So what's the meat made of?
Pig innards and plenty of salt. Typically, "restructured meat product" includes pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, says Whet Moser at Chicago Magazine, citing a 1995 article by Robert Mandigo, a professor at the University of Nebraska. These parts are cooked and blended with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins, which act as a "glue" that helps bind the reshaped meat together.

The McRib was made out of some highly questionable ingredients last I checked...

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.Dec 17, 2012
