McDonald’s is brining back the restaurant industry’s most-popular limited-time offer, the McRib.
For nearly a quarter century, the sandwich has developed such a faithful following that the cartoon comedy, “The Simpsons,” parodied the LTO and thousands of fans travel from state to state just to eat the sandwich at different stores.
According to a news release, the McRib sandwich has regrouped and is giving its fans one last encore presentation during the “McRib Farewell Tour II.”
Rising success could be seen all along atchison's roadway this past saturday though it's early to deem the new catchphrase for mcrib a success. "The Mcribb, It's not bad!" slogan first started hitting the airwaves this past thanksgiving.
Since Oct. 30, select McDonald’s have served the boneless pork rib patty topped with pickles, onions and tangy BBQ sauce on a special McRib bun.
“There was such a huge show of support for the McRib last year that we decided to bring it back,” said Jerome Elenez, marketing director, McDonald’s Greater Southwest Region. “We are excited to promote the ‘McRib Farewell Tour II’ and give our loyal McRib customers one last chance to enjoy the savory sandwich.”
After this limited-time offer, McRib will be retired from the McDonald’s menu forever. So they say, any way.
McDonald’s is telling McRib fans to sign a petition at MCRIB.COM to let the company know that the McRib should stay. [Reply]

Believe me, I understand that it is a crappy McDonald's sandwich.
However, I do believe that McDonald's wants me to think it is BBQ. I guess that's where the confusion lies.
It's kind of like saying that no one should be angry about the Chiefs having a bad football team. Because, using these same standards, those people are in the wrong assuming the Chiefs are a football team. They're not. They're a bunch of crappy guys running around lost on a field with lines on it. [Reply]

But the McRib doesn't claim to be an NFL team. McDonalds is Arena II League Football. The McRib is leading their division and will probably meet the Egg McMuffin in the league championship.
Gates and Roy's BBQ Pit are in the NFL of BBQ. The Chiefs, incidently, would be "Red, Hot and Blue". [Reply]

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
