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

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!

Would you like a McRib Locator Window Cling?

As the primary McRib season in the US starts to wind down, we need your help to get updated sightings and confirmed sightings. Some reports indicate that the McRib will start disappearing around the 17th, so now is the time to take action to get another (or perhaps your first) McRib before they are gone.

In appreciation of your assistance, we will be giving out McRib Locator Window Clings to 20 people that today both report their sighting via our webpage (http://mcriblocator.com/report.html ) and also email us a photo showing the receipt from the purchase (please show enough of the receipt to show where and when the McRib was purchased as well as the McRib purchase).

McRib Commercial – Bears Fan

Leave a reply

Without a national roll out this year, individual markets have had to come up with their own advertising campaigns to get the fact the McRib is back out to fans.
Here is one I stumbled upon on YouTube that I thought was weird yet sort of clever.
What do you think?

McRib arrives in Budapest

Leave a reply

Although the McRib hasn’t returned in parts of United States, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming available in other parts of the world. Earlier today we received a confirmation of McRib availability in Budapest, Hungary (thank you Hans G.). The price equates to about $2.79 US dollars.

Best translation I could get was “Seasoned, McRib® shaped pieces of pork, fresh onions, dill pickles, smoky BBQ sauce flavor kukoricadarás bun.”

After some more digging on the official McDonalds Hungary website and found not only is the McRib available, but also a Chicken Cesar sandwich on the same bun.

“Contact grilled seasoned chicken breast pieces molded, lettuce, rocket, shavings of Italian cheese, caesar sauce kukoricadarás bun”

While offerings of variants of the McRib have occurred in the past, we don’t recall an instance of the McRib being offered at the same time as another sandwich on the same McRib style bun. Perhaps more baffling is the Cesar Chicken sandwich received a much more appealing image for the website.
