It appears that after a 6 year hiatus, the McRib will be returning to Maccas (McDonalds first embraced this Australian nickname in 2013) in Australia. Currently their Facebook page is hinting “something saucy is coming” on December 5th.
Late last week they let is slip that it would in fact be the McRib returning.
This follows an early market test in July 2018, which the McRib sales, to little surprise, must have shown that there was enough interest to bring it back on a larger scale. The last full blown release of the McRib in Australia was 6 years ago. The release 6 years ago was part of an event to align with the Olympics being held there. A few different variations from around the globe were offered, such as the Atlanta Pork McRib.
Will there be special promotional pricing? Will they make a clever video to emphasize the return of this fan favorite? As the 5th arrives we will update this post with additional details as we are able to find them.
Update 1:
The McDonalds Australia page now features the McRib alongside what appear to be BBQ Fries.
On Facebook they have now shared a brief video that they brought it back due to customer demand.
