McRib Confirmed Sightings Review 11/14/2012

1 Reply

With the flurry of reports coming in, we thought we would share an image of the latest confirmed sightings so that you can more easily see if there is one near you. Confirmed McRibs availability appears to be focused in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Considering just a week ago the McRib was only in Texas (as well as San Salvador internationally), it is interesting to see how it’s availability is now distributed.



Keep in mind you can restrict your map to see only confirmed sightings by selecting “Only Confirmed Sightings” and clicking submit in the search dialog to the lower right of the McRibLocator.com map. You do not need to put in a range of dates to search to utilize this feature.

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.

Last week, we posted about a pretty awesome McRib Necklace found at Catrina’s Toybox Etsy Store. Since our posting, she has increased the number of McRib offerings, including post earrings and dangle earrings (we are hoping for a ring option soon).

Anyhow, we have our winner. Using a random number generator, we have selected Amy, comment #3, as our winner!

Good Morning Sacramento!

Periodically we are asked to provide some media information about the McRib. This morning, we were asked to be part of the always entertaining Good Morning Sacramento program. Cody Stark (@TVCody on Twitter) provided a McRib report and we chatted about the McRib’s return.

McRib Necklace Review and Giveaway!

21 Replies

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.
