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.

A young upstart president named Bill Clinton was winning our hearts and vagina's over with is smoothness. It was that very day where my grandpa. Grandpa Demon took me down for a treat, but back then mcdonalds wasn't on every street corner like they are today. "Demon do you want mcdonalds?: My grandpa said softly to me while I was waking up. YAY! I yelled out. "Well hurry up and grab your **** because I am leaving" grandpa grumply said with the unmistaken smell of jack daniels on his breath.
So then began the journey. The journey of wonder and excitement that was sure to end with grandpa spanking me for spilling Orange Crush soda. So we began to drive.. we drove and drove and drove so long infact we almost made it to the 3rd song on the christain radio network. As I got out of the truck my 200 pound frame almost jumped at excitement when I saw a 2 by 2 foot cardboard cd cutout of a new and exciting product. "Whats that?" I said to grandpa. "those are jews" Grandpa replied.
"No whats that on window?" "Well I don't know but I guess we are going to find out.
As I ordered my first mcrib I began to get nervous and I could barely speak to the man taking my order.
So my grandpa with love ordered for me "Sorry...he is retarded.... we will take 2 mcribbs a
nd fry's. As the next hour flew by with wonder, amazement and a hardy ass beating" I knew that my life was changed forever. Now even today, I can take my kids to get a mcribb and talk to my theropist about those wonderful days wtih grandpa.
Wonderful story Demon.
