    Wow...I thought they were joking!

    Ok, so I hear a commercial for McDonald's the other day, and they are talking about the "McRib Farewell Tour." Then they say something about signing a petition to keep it around. I thought they were joking, but I guess I was wrong! So, if you love your McRib (I could really give a crap), sign the petition! Personally, I think it's pretty stupid, but whatever.

    ^ I know! I was listening to the commercial thinking, "Ha...they think they're being funny! I'm gonna check this out!" Then I saw the site and was like, "Ok...seriously...this is stupid. Why the heck would they waste time doing this?"

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Corporate bastards!!!

    First they ruin the milkshakes (and double the price), now this. Now, I'll have absolutely no reason to go to McDonalds.


    The McRib has got to be the most bizarre sandwich ever to be on McDonalds menu. It just sort of comes and goes, despite the fact that I see people sucking them down like their going out of style when they are available.

    ...which makes me wonder if this whole thing is some publicity stunt.

    ...but I signed the petition...just in case.

    That's what I thought, so I assumed the site wasn't even real. WRONG!

    Bizarre is right - it made me feel physically sick. Their burgers don't even taste the same way from twenty years ago.

    Now, I tell ya - something I miss DEARLY from my high school days are Pizza Hut Priazzo's. Oh my GOD those were SOOOOO GOOD.

    These days Pizza Hut tastes like crap too. They cut and scrimp to save a penny and pretty soon there is nothing but marketing keeping the boat afloat.

    Well, it kind of looks like ribs, but it's...ummm....something else. That's all I know.

    Publicity stunt. Get people to buy like crazy then bring it back as the McRiblet or some crazy shiot.

    Didn't they Do this with the McChicken?

    I'm getting the dry heaves just thinking about the time I took a bite of a "McRib" several years ago.... It was DISGUSTING. It's something like pork and bits and pieces of god knows what, all ground together then pressed and molded into the shape of ribs....it was honestly one of the most gross things I ever ate. After 2 bites I put it in the trash. The consistency of the "meat like" substance was not of this earth.
    This is gonna give me nightmares tonight.....

    ^ former_LV_Dancer just reminded me of why McD's brought the McRib it back- they probably bought grosses of pork meat surplus and had to use it up...(the "Make It Bacon" thing from a few years back was because of that.)
    Anyway, the McDonald's breakfast isn't too bad but I can barely eat anything else they serve....in my broke-ass civil servant days, I used to buy the Yogurt Parfait all the time...that's nice too, but sugar-laden.

    I had to share what I found online.....the McRib has to be stopped.....



    If that isn't enough to deter you......check out the quote:
    My McRib Pork Sandwich was almost unimaginably McRevolting. In many ways, it was the gastronomic equivalent of the whoopee cushion; every single bite sends a fresh squirt of disgusting brown sauce over your hands. After three bites, you begin to look like an over-enthusiastic cesspit operative. I stopped eating the McRib after three and a half bites.
