You say you like the McRib...

[chevysoldier]

"The product is only introduced when pork prices are low enough to ensure McDonald's can turn a profit on the product," Staley suggests

McDonald's relationship with the pork industry goes back to the McRib's conception. In 1972, Roger Mandingo, a University of Nebraska professor, received a grant from the National Pork Producer's council to develop a technology that bound small "umarketable parts of the animal" into a formation that looked more appetizing. In other words, he figured out how to mold tripe, heart or stomach bits into something that looked like a choice cut of meat. Let's say, the ribs.

Solidifying my choice in never eating one of these. My dad loves them lol

[alab32]

Who'd 'a thought... Oh, me. Everything from Mc Donalds is nasty!

[Disclaimer]

I had my first McRib 3 weeks ago.

Two of them actually 'cuz I'm a fatty.

They reminded me of BBQ rib sandwiches from high school lunch. Except the ones from high school were better, because they didn't have pickles.

Picked up some of these just so I wouldn't be tempted to get a Mcrib.

Yes it all veggie. It's prolly made from the ass and stomach lining of butternut squash.

[Gixxus Christ!]

Yeah.....never eating one....the only thing I eat from McNasty's is breakfast, and only like 4 times a year.

[2talltim]

Its no different than hot dogs and bologna

[FZRMatt]

I love the McRib. Had one last night and now I'm craving one again!

Wishing I hadn't clicked on that link about whats in them though,

some things are better left a mystery

[alienpi]

Kinda like 5 Steaks from buddy's at one sitting lol

[Beegreenstrings]

I tried one years ago when they came out and was sick for days. Could not get past the texture.

Today I have to be desperate to even stop at mcdonalds for anything other than a chicken sandwich and that even scares me.

Grown man's gotta eat, son!

[jporter12]

I've never had a McRib. Rt 62 BBQ is right across the street from them here in J-town, and they do a REAL rib-wich once in a while that is worlds above anything that McD's will ever make.

The texture is a little weird, like someone else said, they remind me of the

sandwiches you got in the high school cafeteria.

I didn't pack today, I can see I'm probably gonna end up getting one of

these for lunch

[magley64]

No pickles... Definitely order it that way

[chevysoldier]

I love their sausage mcmuffin with egg. Delicious!

[Beegreenstrings]

No pickles... Definitely order it that way

I cant eat McD's pickles to begin with... Ugh!

I had my only one of the year last Saturday drunk, of course.

[Bad324]

McRibs are awful.

Goto the grocery store and get these

They also sell them frozen with no sauce, I prefer those so I can add my own better sauces

[TheBrown57]

Plan on having one today for the first time
