IT’S A GREAT TIME OF THE YEAR FOR MCDONALD’S MCRIB LOVERS. BUT, AS FANS KNOW, IT IS FOR A LIMITED TIME. BUT, COULD THIS BE ITS LAST HURRAH? THE SANDWICH, WHICH DEBUTED ON MENUS IN 1981, HAS ENJOYED A CULT FOLLOWING FOR DECADES, THANKS IN NO SMALL PART TO ITS FLEETING, SPORADIC APPEARANCES ON THE MENU, TO WHICH THE SENIOR ARCHIVES MANAGER FOR MCDONALD’S, MIKE BULLINGTON, SAYS THE SANDWICH WAS DESIGNED TO BE “ENJOYED DURING THE COLDER SEASONS.”
ACCORDING TO A PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FOR THE MCRIB ON THE MCDONALDS WEBSITE, THIS YEAR IS THE “MCRIB FAREWELL TOUR”, AND TO ENJOY THE FAMOUS PORK SANDWICH AS IT IS YOUR LAST. PERSONALLY, I’M NOT A FAN, BUT I KNOW MANY WHO ARE AND ONE PERSON WHO BUYS THEM BY THE DOZEN AND FREEZES THEM TO ENJOY YEAR ROUND. EAT ‘EM UP WHILE YOU CAN!
