Well. Micky D's is running the McRib special again. But they say that this is the last time. This little slice of fatting heaven well no longer be sold after this special has run it's time.

That is of course the McRib lovers of the world unite and vote to keep it around. Now personally. I think it's a marketing ploy. they just want to see just how much we love it. But I don't care. I live and breath those tastety little pork byproducts with simulated BBQ sauce, and cheaply bought veggies. Why, I don't know. (Maybe they add a secert ingredent that they shouldn't add) All I know is I could (and have) lived off of them.

So. if your like me. and can't get enough of them. vote to keep them around at www.Mcrib.com

if you don't like them, GO vote to keep them anyway. You don't want to see me in full mcrib withdraw. it's not a pretty sight

I've never understood why they don't keep them around all the time.

I try not to eat much fast food, but I have to eat some McRibs! I also voted to keep it around.

like they said about The Wizard of Oz being released on DVD... it's your last chance to get it, David Bowie going on tour...

I've heard it over and over again.. it will be back.

Me neither. Wandered into a McD's in downtown New Haven, CT in '81 or so, and people were slurping them up. Never saw them on the menu out in California, then or since. I assume they're a regional thing?

ICER

HHMMMM. good question. Maybe they only sell them in certian area at a time

No offense, but I've just never gotten fired up over fast food specials. I never think to myself 'man, I need to hit [McDonald's/BurgerKing/Hardee's/Arby's/etc] to get THIS!'. I only ever eat at them when I'm pressed for time. And to me, McDonald's taste like fried salted masking tape. Maybe it's because I don't watch TV, so I get hit with less of their ads.

Still, I'm not one to try to bring down someone's enjoyment of something just because I don't lke it.

Actually, that's only true unless it's crappy beer.

Enjoy your sandwiches!

I love Mc Ribs, but as long as McDonald's still has the 2 Cheeseburger Meal and Monopoly everyonce and a while, I'll be quite happy.

MAN, let me tell you, the 2 chesseburger meal has saved my butt from straving many a times. But that stupid monoply game though. I would get so close to winning. and they would stop it. gggrrrrrrrrrrr

You can't forget the pies though. Pies are awesome. I always get the seasonal one. Holdiay custard is the best.

I haven't seen a McRib in 25 odd years. I can't believe that there is a market for that shit. You people actually like them?
Just goes to show that you learn somthing new every day.

Homer Simpson: Three Ribwiches, please. And instead of a shake, I'd like a blended Ribwich.
squeaky-voiced teen: I'm sorry, sir. The Ribwich was for a limited time only.
Homer Simpson: Not again! First you took away my Philly Fudgesteak. And then my Bacon Balls. Then my Whatchamachicken. You monster!
[Lenny and Carl help a sobbing Homer walk toward the Krusty Burger's exit. Then Homer comes running back to the register.]
Homer Simpson: I'd like a large fries please, in a collector's cup.
ribhead: Dude, if you still want the Ribwich, they're testing it in other markets. Check out the tour schedule.
Homer Simpson: Oh, this is amazing. I could follow the Ribwich from town to town.
ribhead: That's what we do. We're Ribheads.
Homer Simpson: Maybe I should hook up with you guys. After all, how long do any of us have to live?
ribhead: Well, if you like the Ribwich, not very.
[The ribhead holds up a Ribwich container, which has a warning from Krusty: 'Will cause early death!']

Ah, the Mc Rib... a sandwich I have a real love/hate relationship with. I used to plow through those things like a crazy man. But after hearing what actually goes into Mc Donald's food, I steer far far away from the golden arches.

On a side note, my friends and I call this sandwich the "Mc Fetal Pig." Good times indeed.

mmmmmm Mcrib, only time I eat at MccyD's is when they have the McRib. Something about that sandwich.

Maybe it's because I'm older or I have a bit more money, but if I feel the need for cheap premade fried food, I eat at a Chinese Buffet. I love those places or a Ryan's or hometown buffet..... love cheap all you can eat places.

Giant Hamburger

Perhaps you could purchase one of their acrylic molds and extrude your own mechanically separated pork with non-pork additives for a McRib at home anytime you chose for pennies on the dollar!

I would prefer it in the shape of a human brain or maybe a smiling baby head.

That site told me McRib is not playing in my area...

Screw you McDonalds....screw you

Same here Fine McDoodles... see if you get any of my money. I'll buy my own frozen "riblets" and pour steal some Mcnugget BBQ suace and work to make a similar sauce myself. I can you know......

Ah screw it I'll just go and cry in my Chinese Buffet's Honey Chicken and Bacon wrapped fake crab meat.

McRib, I remember when it came out for the first time. The McDLT was all the rage back then.

Anyone remember the MC DLT

On a side note.

Burger king (competition I know) Just took away a great sandwich, my heart is brokewn! The Mushroom Swiss burger

*Cries*

The McDLT? Do you mean the "Hot side hot, cool side cool, everything you want in a hamburger, hamburger?" then yes, I do remember that one. And yes, that quote was on the tip of my tounge. That was always my favorite when it was around.

BTW, why the Hell was the cheese on the cool side?

For the other Canadians on here... McDonalds stopped making (or even reintroducing) the McRib a long time ago in Canada. Apparently we didn't like them enough to keep them on the menu.

Why can't McDonalds just give us all what we really want and what they have been giving since they started. Deep Fried food is a we crave and the McRib is no different, STOP this salad nonsense. Long live the Rib though as that is a mighty fine piece of 'food'.

Ahhhh MCDONALD'S!! Hot fudge sundae and French Fries are the yummy goodness that I don't mind going straight to my ass. I'm gonna go see if they have McRib. Will report back.

Ahh back in the day years ago when i worked at a mcdonalds i remembered making those things... if you saw what i saw you wouldnt ever eat them again! they dont keep them on the menu because the way they are made let sitting in that boiling wanna be BBQ sauce all day makes a real mess. it takes a good half hour to clean that crap out at the end of the night and even then its nowhere near clean everyone just says ahh who gives a crap i dont eat here anyway. Honestly if you want food thats even close to pretending to be sort of clean from a mcdonalds stick with the burgers and fries. oh and dont even think about touching the milkshakes. yay for a nasty shake machine thats sort of half assed cleaned every week or so. Do yourself a favor and make your own rib sandwiches get some rib meat maranade it for a few days strip it off the bone and let it soak in some decent bbq sauce for a hour or so throw some onions on it with some decent bread roll and eat a real rib sandwich that you know is clean. at the very least you might live a little longer.

You have to know it will be back sometime, they have had it come and go for years now. While not being a bad sandwich (you have to remember what you are getting and where you are at) it is not a 5 * gourmet eatery. I have not had one in years but if memory serves me they put PICKLE on it last time, WTF who in the hell eats pickles on ribs?

Now for something for those of you who do not have them, or want to keep them around, having worked in agrocery store the last 12 years I have found a fondness to these http://www.on-cor.com/RediServe_products.html#tray check it out see if your grocer has/can/or will carry the Rib-Quik it is about halfway down the page in the Zip Pack bag section. Throw em in a foil pan dump your favorite BBQ sauce on them and throw it all in the oven for a little bit until warmed it is just a heat and eat product. See how them compare to a McRib I think you will be pleasently surpised.

McDonalds is pretty gross. And i never eat meat that has to be "formed" more than a hamburger patty. had McChiken one time and when I bit through that vertebrae-shaped cartilage, i just about fucking puked on myself, it was like eating celery made of glue.

zkara

No McRib here in SF, and no McRib in NY.

Mmm.. fries..

Ahh, McRibs...one of the things I truly missed after going vegetarian.

FYI, for anyone desiring a healthier alternative (or just something to eat when there's no McRib around), either Boca or Morning Star Farms makes a "riblet" that tastes almost identical to the McRib. Even my friends that DESPISE my veggie food love the riblets I get. You can usually pick them up at Wal*Mart. They've honestly REALLY good.

They are here anyway. I've had 3 in the last two weeks. I feel bad for eating McDonalds at all, but they're just too good.
