McRib Roundup: The McRib makes an appearance in a new international market, the McRib skips out on parts of the US, and pricing on the webpage all included in this McRib Monday update
McRib lands in Ecuador
For the first time we have documented, the McRib is now available in Ecuador!
“Something totally delicious has arrived at McDonald’s 🙌🤤🍖You’re going to stain your hands with its delicious combination of flavors. Try the new McRib today! 🤩 For a limited time ✨ Try it before it’s gone #DesirablyDesirable Find it at your nearest McDonald’s🤤🤩”
Certainly a new take on the McRib promotion indicating that you will be staining your hands. The McRib appears to be of the original McRib style. Thank you to David for sending us confirmation of two locations in Ecuador offering the McRib.
Omissions from the US 2023 McRib season
While many places did end up having the McRib, there were still parts of the US that did not. Notably, Alaska, Idaho, most of Michigan, southern Florida, eastern Pennsylvania, New York, and the New England states all decided to skip the McRib this year. While it is not surprising that the New England states skipped the McRib as they are most likely to skip when it is not a nationwide release, these other locations are surprising. With the generally wide release again this year, it is unusual that some of these typical McRib strongholds skipped out. Make sure to let your local store Manager know you want the McRib back next year!
The price is right
A few of you may have noticed that there is some new information available on the McRib Locator webpage, pricing details. Now when submitting a new sighting, you have the option to share the McRib Sandwich price. For now, this price is only shown if the sighting is confirmed.
In the Find a McRib area, when results are returned for the McRib, confirmed sightings with prices will now show the price of the McRib Sandwich at that location. If confirmed, however no price was provided the display will continue to show “YES!!!” as it had been showing.
Finally, on the Map itself, when you click on confirmed sightings with price details provided, you will now see the McRib price shown.
That is all for this McRib Roundup. Thank you for your continued support, and for sharing your McRib sightings on the webpage!
