McDonald’s announced Monday that the ‘McRib’, a boneless barbecue pork-flavored sandwich made from specially bred boneless rubbery bbq flavored pigs, usually available in only a few stores at a time, will be sold at all U.S. McDonalds locations through Nov. 14.
The McRib, which is ‘dressed’ with onions, pickle slices and barbecue sauce, was introduced nationally in the US in 1982. With 500 calories and 26 grams of fat, it’s slightly ‘healthier’ than the flagship Big Mac burger, which has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat. And just like the Big Mac, the McRib has become a popular McDonald’s offering, despite being made from the bodies of rubbery boneless pigs that have all the muscular poise of a part set jello.
The barbecue without the bones has inspired a cult following. There is a Facebook group called “Bring Back the McRib!!!” There are Twitter tags, where posts range from “Lucky me, the McRib is back” to “If you eat McRibs, you need to re-evaluate what it is you actually want in life.”
