Paid Members Thunderplex Posted December 1, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 1, 2014 The McRib is heavily processed, very chemically, but rather charming. I'll be munching down on one for sure. Quote
Moderators neil Posted December 1, 2014 Moderators Posted December 1, 2014 They are not good but full props to McD's marketing department for managing to make people think they absolutely have to buy one. Quote

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted December 1, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 1, 2014 I have no memory of them existing prior to this year. I don't know if I should try one or not. Quote
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted December 2, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 2, 2014 Try one. Not knowing is a sin. Quote
Loki Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 The McRib, like smallpox, hanging and Happy Eater restaurants, is an experience best left in the past. Quote

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 29, 2014 Moderators Posted December 29, 2014 kinda interesting article about the seasonality of the McRib If you can't be bothered to read it basically posits that the rare and ad hoc nature of McRib availability is determined by low pork prices. Quote

Moderators neil Posted December 29, 2014 Moderators Posted December 29, 2014 I always enjoy the morons who are "shocked" by the production methods of foods that they otherwise never even came close to questioning before. Quote
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted December 29, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 29, 2014 As long as it tastes good, I don't really care. Not a fan of McRibs, mind you. Quote

Paid Members Kookoocachu Posted January 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted January 5, 2015 Well I finally had one on Saturday and it left me with conflicting feelings of both violation and enjoyment. I'll start with how excited I was the night before that I would at last sample what so many say is some kind of orgasmic experience. While I was not expecting anything amazing, I was looking forward to seeing and tasting what this sensation is all about. A little nervous though as I never usually venture beyond my Big mac or double cheeseburger, and when I have in the past I have been so very very disappointed. The day arrived and we made a special trip to the drive through in Ryde for the event. Newport restaurant would've been packed and we didn't really want to get out of the warm womb like safety of the Discovery anyway. With every mile my excitement grew. Within the hour I would be able to discuss The McRib having sampled it for myself, no longer would I feel left out. A sudden pang of panic hit the both of us as we drew nearer. What if they had sold out? What will we do? We assured ourselves that it was just paranoia and drove on. On arrival there was no queue which was a nice surprise. There was however one cunt in front of us in a 106 who decided to get out of his car to pull his trousers up and in doing so dropped his phone on the floor. A mixture of a snigger and fed up sigh seemed appropriate. After picking up our precious cargo we made our way down to the spot where all McDonalds drive throughs must be eaten: The seafront. The weather made the experience extra cosy, and we congratulated ourselves for making the right decision to stay in the dry and comfort. Watching the hovercraft go out I was passed my meal, fighting temptation to look in the McRib box as I always eat my chips first. Chips and bottom of the bag stragglers done, I picked up it's box and in a fashion that I can only describe and Link opening a treasure chest, revealed what I had been waiting for. The second I saw the large piece of 'meat' my heart started pounding. I worried over how it would fit in my bun but with a lick of my lips the worry was forgotten. I grabbed it with both hands marvelling at it's juiciness and tried to fit my mouth around it as best I could. It was quite a struggle, such a large thing sliding all over the place through my hands and mouth. I wasn't sure about it as it was so intimidating, but I succumbed to it's sauce as it made it's way from my lips to my chin and figured I was enjoying it. It's sweetness filled my mouth but I could barely contain the sauce. Before I knew it, it was over. I wasn't sure of what had just happened to me, or if I really had enjoyed it. Then we went home and fixed my cat's tank. Quote
