I realize it's trivial, but someone in Austin has the Texas custom license plate "MCRIB".
Am I the only person who has never had the McRib?
I've never had one either. Everytime I heard about it they had already ended the promotion or it wasn't available nearby. I would like to try one just to know what all the hoopla is about.
It's been years but it always tasted like nothing else, certainly not riblike except for the sauce. I wonder if the meat & food glue combo used to make it is more expensive than burgers, because why not serve it year-round if it weren't?
I had one the last time it was around. It's basically a ration with sauce.
They drag it out like a weapon when they need PR or to bump annual sales I think. If it became a regular item, people would see it for what it is vs the prestige of being a specialty offering of short duration.
