Kim was shopping Etsy and stumbled across a wonderful idea, a pair of McRib earrings! Of course, we contacted the store owner. While we loved many of her items, we started chatting about the McRib.
As Kim hasn’t worn earrings for several years, and I never have had a piercing, we inquired to see if the McRib earrings could be converted to necklaces. The shop owner, Catrina, was happy to do this for us and sent us 2 of the McRib necklaces! Kim has already snagged one, and we will be giving the other away to a lucky McRib Locator fan! Read on to find out how you can win!
About the Necklace
When we first opened the box, we immediately noticed the detailed markings on the top bun. Mmmmmmm. Sesame seed bun. Upon closer inspection, hints of pickles and onions were noticed between the top bun and the McRib patty. Of course, I love my pickles and onions, so would have liked to see a couple more. However I’m sure you may be able to specify this in your order (Catrina’s Toybox does take custom requests!).
The McRib patty has a beautiful saucy color, pressed McRib meat shape, and even a bit of sauce dripping down the bottom bun.
The entire McRib itself is just under a 1/2 inch in length. This is a good size for a necklace, not too large that it is heavy, not so small you can’t tell what it is. The chain is the perfect length for Kim, and she is excited to wear it (she tells me she will wear it everywhere).
All in all, this is a beautiful piece of wearable food art and we are excited to see what other creations Catrina comes up with for her shop.
