Thank God, it's back - All's right with the universe

McDonald's brings McRib back to restaurants nationwide starting Monday






The world has turned on its celestial journey and returned to its spot in the universe - The McRib is back

Yes, it is a piece of minced pork in a sweet, sickening sauce on a over-rated bun, but - damn- I look forward to it each year.

1. ...

2. Different strokes for different folks and all that, but "sweet sickening sauce" indeed...

but it was always the texture of whatever is passing for "pork" that got me.

Enjoy. I won't be competing with those desperate for the return of their "fix."

12. MacDonald's...

Is that something people eat?

3. But doesn't that mean Mallowmars go away for the year?

4. No, Mallowmars are cold-weather cookies...

They go away in the spring when the chocolate coating starts to melt.

5. Love how James Earl Jones describes it for Arby's...

slab of reconstituted pork. Something like that. Boy howdy their pork sandwich looks awesome.

Nowhere even close to an Arby’s

6. Whoops! wrong post...mallowmars are not pork..

14. Buy they are only available seasonally, right before McRibs

7. McRib is back! NSFW

I thought this was the funniest thing on "The Osbournes".

8. Now without lettuce!

[EYESORE 9001]

9. I'm doing my part to avert any shortage

by not purchasing that swill-on-a-bun.

10. Are they skipping New York State again?

[BlueJac]

11. Not

Tried one, yikes.

13. I'll bet they could make a veggie version and nobody would notice.

These "ribs" are largely synthetic anyways, made from tasteless pork protein and fat, BBQ flavoring, and edible glue.

15. Maybe they should call it "Meta"

[albacore]

16. NOT ribmeat, of course....

Pork shoulder.... IF you can believe Mickey D's. Lot of bullshit out there about the McRib made of lips and rectums, but I don't think so. Probably.
What gets me is....
"One McRib sandwich contains 500 calories, which is 40 percent of the daily recommended value of fat, and 41 percent of the daily value for sodium."
No wonder we have an obesity problem.

McRib... 500 calories.
Coke.... 250 calories.
Large fries... 500 calories.
2000 calorie per day diet.

You do the math.

17. Spam with molded "ribs" and slathered with sauce.

The pickles are OK, I guess.
