McRib : A family affair

As part of a journey to one of my cousin’s weddings this past week, my family/relatives decided to help track down a few McRibs for us on their various paths to the wedding in Florida. While several of them live in about the same area, a few took different paths to get to the nearest airport (either Denver, CO or Omaha, NE in this case) with affordable tickets to Florida. I am including a few of these photos, others have also been submitted to our Facebook page.


Additionally, other relatives (not headed to the wedding) have joined the cause by reporting McRibs on the McRib Locator from their area too.

Thank you family!


This is one case when having relatives living far apart is a perk!









Does your family have a deep appreciation for the McRib? Share your story with us, so that we may show others that the McRib is not limited to individual fancy!

Golden McRib Contest

More details are starting to filter in regarding the upcoming Golden McRib Contest that McDonalds is putting on this year. Earlier today, Kimberly discovered this link to the contest, which gives slightly more information about the upcoming contest than the earlier found link found on the McDonalds Website. It appears that it will be an online contest ran via the McDonalds Facebook account.

The page above hints to “weirdly wonderful guardians” that attempt to thwart your  efforts in the contest. I am going to speculate that there may be alternate prizes along the way that you might be able to pursue instead of the ultimate prize (yet to be identified).

As for the weird pixels to the left of the butterfly-pirate, I tried loading the page in both Safari and Firefox on my iMac and the artifact was there in both scenarios. Not sure what it means, if anything at all.


Additionally, McDonalds_Utah offered this Twitter post this evening:
