Help us locate the McRib!

4 Replies

We have just received word that the confirmed sighting in Powell, WY is no more. Apparently the McRib was only available there for a single week!

With the very limited availability at some locations, we want to get the confirmed sightings out as soon as possible. Toward this goal, we are going to be giving away a McRib Locator pen to the people first to provide a confirmed McRib sighting in each of the 50 states (and DC too).

McRib Locator Pens

In order for a sighting to be confirmed we need you to email us a photo of your receipt showing both where it was purchased and the price it cost (both are available on the receipt) to photos@mcriblocator.com . We also need you to submit your sighting at http://mcriblocator.com. If you win, we will let you know and will follow up with a request for your mailing address. In the event of a tie, most creative photo with the McRib wins.

Not the first to confirm? We are also going to pick the top 10 most creative McRib confirmation photo submissions and send them pens too!

Both of these opportunities run through at least the end of December 2013 and may be extended depending on McRib availability. After reviewing submitted photos we will share on the blog those that are winners, so make sure to check back to see your competition.

Chicken McRib now Available

Leave a reply

We have just captured details about a Chicken McRib sandwich becoming available today (August 29, 2013) nationwide in Malaysia.

First tipped off by @worldofsharlene as she was about to try the new Chicken McRib, we quickly were able to track down that this new variation of the classic is available for a limited time in Malaysia.

The Chicken McRib is available from 11am-4am daily while the promotion lasts. As the picture hints, you may order a single or a double patty. They describe it on their facebook page as ” Juicy ribbed chicken patty cooked to perfection, amazing taste of sweet & tangy barbecue sauce, zesty pickles and slivered onions wrapped in a warm, cornmeal bun – just one of so many reasons why the Chicken McRib is awesome!!”

 

What do you think, would  you give this sandwich a try?

McRib Return Shortened?

KDVR is reporting that the McRib will be a a available in the Denver area only through September 22. This would be a departure in duration from the past few years were a availability typically lasted 3 months. That said, one of the early release locations last year only offered the McRib for around 2 weeks, so this may not be an indication of an overall reduction. The one certainty is if you are in the Denver area make sure to get your McRib fix in now as it will only be here for a very limited time.
 

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 Returns in the United States for the 2013 Season

Just in from an email confirmation and from the Twitterverse, the McRib has returned in the United States for the 2013 season. Currently the McRib can be found in the Mile High City of Denver, CO as well as in surrounding locations along the I-25 corridor. @MrEerieMist feasted on a McRib in Porter, CO, and Mike emailed a photo of his receipt from Westminister, CO (and grabbed the first confirmed sighting of the season). @tobykdotcom also shared some of the signage at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Centennial, CO. Note that in the photo from @tobykdotcom the promotion for purchasing a second McRib for a mere single dollar will return again this season for some locations.

While the late August roll out is a bit earlier than typically has been the trend these past years, the early September release sounded within reason per our last post in July regarding the production spinning up. We started seeing some reports filter in Thursday August 22, 2013 in the Rocky Mountain State, and now with confirmation we start the pondering of where might the McRib show up next, and how long might it be staying around.

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.

 

2013 McRib Production Beginning Soon

Leave a reply

Time to get your taste buds warmed up, we have received information that the 2013 McRib Production season will be beginning soon. Expectations are that the McRib will return to the production lines mid August. This is roughly around the same time that production fired off last year. It appeared that the McRib was going to make an earlier than normal start last year, however McDonalds opted to a December release in order to improve 4th quarter numbers. Keeping this in mind, expect the McRib to return again this season, possibly starting to show up as early as September or as late as December!

Check back with us here on the blog, on twitter or via Facebook for the latest information on the McRib’s return as we try to narrow down the exact release date.

 

McRib has returned in Spain

McRib Returns To Spain

As noted on the McDonalds Spain site, the McRib has again returned. This time the McRib is featured as part of their McMenu Easy promotion. From my interpretation of the promotion, this is similar to the Dollar Menu concept here in the United States, however has been expanded to include a select few value meals.

The McRib will remain on the menu in Spain through April 30, having actually started April 2nd.

Thank you James Frewin for reporting your sighting in Spain and tipping us off to the McRib availability!
