The McRib Is Now Available at Every Single McDonald's

Like cicadas or Fleetwood Mac reunion tours, the McRib only comes around once or twice in a generation. Starting today, and for the next six weeks, every McDonald's location in the US will carry the mythical manwich. Hallelujah.

The last time we had a McRibbing of this scale was all the way back in 1994. Since then, the pork(ish) patty has broken cover only occasionally, and at limited locations. Devotees were forced to turn to makeshift solutions like the McRib Locator to track them down. No longer.

Time to put away that Double Down, friends. Go forth into the world and McRib.

  1. A McRib Locator? Really? It has to be more hype than real demand.

    But the Double Down, now that is amazing, lol.

  4. Buh...I can't imagine why anyone would hunt these things down...much less buy them if they are even regularly available. But hey, whatever floats their boat (and stops their heart).

    These are pretty much commonly available at Target, or wherever Morningstar Farms brand vegetarian frozen food is sold.

    I used to love McRib when I was a kid. I've become a much pickier eater as an adult - I have a serious problem with meat-based food that has mysteriously lumps or bit inside. So I eat vegetarian ch'kn nuggets.

    I actually made one of the MSF ribettes for my boyfriend, a die-hard meat lover, this weekend. It said it was "An acceptable substitute."

    So, if the lines at McD's are too long, you can try my suggestion. They come 2 in a box.

  18. This reminds me of that one episode of the Simpsons, about Homer being obsessed with the Ribwich. If you watch the episode, when Homer bites into the Ribwich, there is a reference to the movie Requiem for a Dream. Yeah, great post!
