McRib Is Back – In New Zealand

Leave a reply

As was the case last year, the McRib is again popping up at other locations around the globe. Most of the time these offering are very much like the offering in the United States, although sometimes takes an interesting twist (Japan’s McRib). Today, a fan in New Zealand (thanks Regan!) tipped us off to and provided confirmation of the McRib being back in New Zealand!

New Zealand McRib Details

On their Twitter page, you can find some interesting promotional material. Granted, it isn’t that unusual for one to spill a lot of sauce if they try to eat a McRib in their car, this video shows a person getting pretty saucy in a dance studio:

Leading up to the release they also had a few teaser videos to get people excited:

This isn’t the first time we have watched an interesting video of the McRib’s return from this region of the world, you may recall Actress Claudia Black was part of an Australian promotion many years ago:

As always, if you find a McRib, please report it on our website then send us in a photo of your receipt showing purchase so that we may mark your sighting confirmed. Thanks again Regan!

NEW McRib returns to the Philippines

Leave a reply

As a few of our Facebook fans mentioned earlier this week, the McRib has returned to the Philippines (specifically the 14th of April). For a limited time, they are offering two variations of what they are calling the NEW McRib: a Pork McRib, and the Pork McRib Deluxe. The primary difference between the two is the Deluxe comes with Mayonnaise and Lettuce in addition to the fixing of the “standard” McRib.

Wanted: your photo with a McRib and Shamrock Shake

The month of February has been a bit of an oddity. The McRib continues to have availability in select markets, with recent reports in Texas and Oklahoma. With St. Patrick’s day just around the corner, we know some locations are also offering the Shamrock Shake. As these two typically never are offered at the same location at the same time (a point discussed on the comedy Raising Hope), we are looking for evidence for future generations that this did happen at one point in time.

This has happened in the past, but we do not know if it will happen again.

Here are some photos from the last time we know this happened, back in 2013).

Need some incentive? We dug through our vaults and found a few More McRib Locator pens. We will award one to the first person to provide us photo proof of both (hint, a receipt helps!). We will also give out a pen or two to the most unique photos showing both.

Send your photos to photos@mcriblocator.com by March 24th, 2015.

McRib Season Still Strong in Texas, California, Virginia

Leave a reply

Fan Jim (thank you!) from the DC area happened to be down in Texas for the Christmas season and happened to walk into a pocket of McDonalds locations that are still going all out with serving the McRib.

There is a whole lot of Texas, and also a whole lot of different promotions between Houston and Dallas.

1) 2 McRibs for $5

2) Purchase a McRib meal get another McRib sandwich for $1

3) 1 McRib meal for $5.19 or 2 McRib meals for $7.69

Additionally, we are still getting confirmations in California and in Virginia. One thing that we have also been hearing is that there are still a number of locations offering the McRib, however only upon request (no mention on the menu, no promotional material). It seems odd that there would be no mention of an item they are serving. This is something we have encountered in previous years only in the immediate days following the McRib promotion ending as inventory is prepared and discarded as it no longer meets warmer freshness standards (this also makes little sense, at least put up a temporary sign saying gone this week or something), but not this far past the primary McRib promotional period.

McRib sneaks into Northeast US

Leave a reply

As we have been reporting, the northeast US has been void of McRibs this get this season. While we had heard some rumblings that they may yet see it return, we didn’t hold our breath as McRib Patty production has already ended.

Turns out these rumors were true as we just received a McRib confirmation in western New Jersey. The fan indicated that this location did NOT have the McRib earlier this season, and the McRib they did receive was served in a McNugget container.

Perhaps we will see a second return of the McRib this year in more parts of the northeast. If you find one please add it on our map and send us an email with a confirmation photo of your receipt. We are still giving out window clings as supplies last, so act now!

McRib set to return to the UK in December

1 Reply

After a limited release in the UK earlier this year, the McRib is coming back in full force at the end of December.

Notice that the McRib will be amiable for about a month, sticking around until February. This is welcome news for the UK, as they have been asking for the return of the McRib for years! I suspect a lot of fans across the pond will be breaking in their New Year with some saucy love!
