1st McRib of 2012 Season
As we earlier reported, the first confirmed McRib sighting was in El Paso, TX and was sighted by Erica A. Erica actually had her first McRib yesterday, following a lunch time desire for french fries. An additional interesting tidbit is that the McDonalds nearest Erica was closed for remodeling, thus she ended up at this location. Erica didn’t capture a photo of her receipt yesterday, however met up with her husband today for some saucy love at McDonalds and provided a receipt to acknowledge confirmation.
Thank you Erica for your confirmed sighting, and also congrats on providing the first McRib confirmation of the season!
We also received a few reports of McRibs being available at other locations in Texas today, however have not yet received receipts to confirm these sightings.
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.
McRib Necklace Review and Giveaway!
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.

Old Navy sinks their teeth into McRib Mania
I was recently informed via Katie K and Darrel L (thank you both!) that Old Navy is offering a “McRib is Back” tshirt.
At $16.94 and sizes Small to XXXL, it seems that they are trying to reach out to a vast majority of the McRib fans. While this is a great opportunity to grab some licensed memorabilia, will you be grabbing one?
If you do happen to pick one up, send us a picture (mcribphotos@mcriblocator.com) of you wearing it so we may include it in an upcoming post showcasing McRib fans. We will be picking 3 of the submissions to be part of the McRib fan of the Week which, in addition to bragging rights, will earn you a McRib Locator pen.
In the meantime, if you happen to catch news of the McRib coming to your McDonalds, please let us know when they are planning to stock it. We have heard from Angie S (thank you Angie) that one of the McDonalds in Greenville SC is going to offer the McRib starting mid-November!
If you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo of your receipt (photos@mcriblocator.com) showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed.
