While it was but just a month ago that the McRib had again made it’s comeback in Canada and in a small part of Georgia, it has again went into hiding in many places. Two places that the McRib is still holding out in are
Savannah, GA
and
Campbell River, BC via Dax CorrigallCampbell River, BC.
Thanks to Jim and Dax respectively for sending in their receipts so that we may confirm the McRib’s availability.

Have you also had the McRib? Make sure to send us a photo (photos@mcriblocator.com) of your receipt so that your sighting may be promoted to confirmed! Bonus for those that also send a photo of themselves enjoying the McRib. We will share these on the blog.

McRib as child’s name?

Leave a reply

Last week, we caught through the Twitterverse that someone had included McRib when they had named their newborn child. Link to Birth Certificate Photo. boring_as_heck was then on a crusade for recognition that he had named his daughter after the saucy sandwich. McDonalds followed up by tweeting out some recognition his way.

Turns out that this fan really is not as die hard as we thought, now recanting and indicating that this was purely an exercise to dupe as many people as possible.

Despite the ruse, this likely has opened the door for fans to tell their significant other’s that this idea is not as crazy as it first sounds.

As for boring_as_heck, I suspect he will be forever watching his back as the Hamburglar will be on the watch for him.

Update:
Turns out boring_as_heck’s purpose in life really is to attempt to test companies/people to see if they will trust what is offered as “dope tweets”. http://corporatetwits.tumblr.com/#footer
Proving that they lack any humanity, I offer the following tweet they recently posted:
One wonders if at some point the jokes might end and legal action will be taken when a tweet is considered to be a threat rather than a “dope tweet”.

McRib Contest Winner is Professional Contest Winner?

Leave a reply

As reported by The Pilot earlier this month, it turns out that winning the 2010 McRib Video contest was not the first “rodeo” for Sawyer Frye. The article details how Frye had won a separate contest which enabled him to upgrade his gear and eventually win the McRib Contest (netting himself a cool $10 grand, as well as a trip to Germany to feast from the eternal McRib fountain).

Exciting news, initially relayed in from Trevor King (thanks Trevor). It appears that the McRib will be back in Canada starting this week!

Yahoo News Article
Even theMcDonalds Canada Twitter account is excitedly tweeting out the return of the McRib.
Based on email I received during the October 2010-January 2011 US release, I know that there is an avid group of Canadians that are ready to get their hands on this elusive sandwich.

Now the real questions is if you are willing to head out to Canada to get one? Head over to our Facebook wall to vote in the poll.

Welcome to the McRib Locator Blog

First off, I first must once again thank you the fans of the McRib that have contributed to the content on the McRib Locator. Without your help, there is no possible way that I could have individually done justice to the great sandwich that is the McRib.

With all of the information floating around, I felt that a blog may be a good way to gather the conversations into one place. I also intend to use the blog to show case some of the pictures that we the fans have taken with/of the McRib over these years. I also plan to hold some contests over the upcoming months, so make sure to check back when you can to make sure that you don’t miss out on your chance to participate.

Again, THANK YOU for your continued support.
