6. If it's profitable, McDonalds needs to sell it.
Not keep bringing it back as 'Return of McRib I, II, and the sequel'

If people want it sell it. If not, fuck it.

It is suitable for MacDonald's customers?

14. Some type of meat leftovers/substitute, that is pressed into a rib type of shape...
Not even a NATURAL shape at that, covered with some type of sauce that faintly resembles BBQ sauce, but is more like a type of vomit that pond scum would spit out.

Don't know if I will. I'm literally sitting on the fence on this one. I may like it or it may be a waste of money. Not sure which would happen.

24. Are these still around?
I must admit when they first came out I looked forward to trying one, they sounded kind of good. The flavor wasn't too bad, considering the source, but the texture was disgusting. Meat needs to resist your bite, the buns on these have more texture and that isn't because they use real bread either.

31. The only McDonald's sandwich I ever became adicted to was the Cheddar Melt.
It was the late 80's when I was an employee. Consisted of a quarter pound hamburger patty, sauteed onions, and cheddar on a rye bun. I loved it, LOVED IT! and have always wondered why they never brought it back because it was a huge seller.

Tastes like it. Ick!!! And then there are the gastrointenstinal side affects that come with it as well as other McDooDoo's products.

39. Sorry but I have no tolerance for McD's foods..
not only do they taste bad but they always give me some sort of, as you say "un-containable anal secretion" or as MADTV so delicately puts it: Anal leakage.

Now I am either going to a)get this thread locked or b)get this post deleted.

Thinking it might sell in a barbecue town. As if. We've got more real bbq joints than Mickey Ds.

57. I worked on a McCommercial for a McRib
more than 20 years ago.

McDonalds keeps a fake store in the City of Industry east of downtown Los Angeles, strictly used for making commercials. The store had two front ends, a lighting grid in the ceiling, and shrubs on wheels.

We did all the closd-up product photography for the sandwich itself. Took days. I never wanted to eat one, after that.
