The McRib will be available until….

I thought I would take an opportunity to touch back on some rumors regarding how long the McRib will be available in the USA this year.


The story written by Christana Rexrode indicates that the McRib will be around until November 14th. One of my contacts in the know has also indicated the 14th would be the last date the McRib would be available.


Interestingly, the Facebook Golden McRib game indicates a longer duration for the McRib.





Also rounding out the rumor mill is an email I received back around October 11, 2011 from Greg O. from Hicksville, NY. In this email Greg wrote that the management at the store on North Broadway indicated the McRib is on a 3 month trial to determine the future of if the McRib will return permanently, or at what interval it should be back.


Have you heard any other rumors from your local McDonalds on how long the McRib will be back? Feel free to comment on this post so that other fans can hear if there will be opportunities for last chance McRibs as the season winds down.

Golden McRib Contest

Leave a reply

More details are starting to filter in regarding the upcoming Golden McRib Contest that McDonalds is putting on this year. Earlier today, Kimberly discovered this link to the contest, which gives slightly more information about the upcoming contest than the earlier found link found on the McDonalds Website. It appears that it will be an online contest ran via the McDonalds Facebook account.

The page above hints to “weirdly wonderful guardians” that attempt to thwart your  efforts in the contest. I am going to speculate that there may be alternate prizes along the way that you might be able to pursue instead of the ultimate prize (yet to be identified).

As for the weird pixels to the left of the butterfly-pirate, I tried loading the page in both Safari and Firefox on my iMac and the artifact was there in both scenarios. Not sure what it means, if anything at all.
