McRib to return in Canada!

During the McRib release in the United States we receive a fair amount of email from Canadian fans and their desire to have the McRib. Some of these fans travel across the border to capture the elusive McRib, then declare their love for the McRib when they reach customs on the return trip.

Good news comes to those that wait, we came across an image from @kmcruzz showcasing what appears to be coupons for the McRib’s return in Toronto, Canada (image has since become unavailable on Twitter). The coupon had a Christmas Holiday appearance, and additional coupons showed Poutine with the holiday artwork.

We also received word from @abeullman57 in Winnipeg indicating that the McRib will in fact be back.

Things are looking good for our friends in Canada as they look to finally see the McRib return after a break from the menus.

If/when you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo (photos@mcriblocator.com) of your receipt showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed.

International McRib Commercials

We wanted to see what type of YouTube information was available for international McRibs, and came across a handful of interesting videos we decided we would share.

A couple of interesting tidbits.
1) It appears Claudia Black (Stargate SG1, Farscape) enjoys the McRib much more than Mom’s roast in Australia Video #1.

2) The Malaysia commercial reveals that the secret sprinkling on top of the traditional McRib Bun is….(see end of commercial below).

McRib bun topping revealed

Over the years there has been speculation to what is sprinkled on top of the McRib bun. I was once told by Mayor McCheese that the topping was not cornmeal when he was asked. Turns out in 2013 the McDonalds in Malaysia let the cat out of the bag in their promotion of the Chicken McRib:

The topping, in Malaysia at least, is in fact cornmeal! Perhaps not a huge surprise, however one that is a little surprising to have effort in masking. What do you think, would it be the same without the cornmeal topping?
