Malta McRib and Chicken Sensation

McRib Returns to Malta

1 Reply

About a week ago we received word that the McRib had returned in Malta (sorry for the delay, I had been ill). The offering in Malta is of the traditional McRib variety, however is advertised as part of a duo of saucy sandwiches. The McRib’s partner is the Chicken Sensation, a chicken sandwich with honey mustard.

The nutrition page for the McRib mentions that the sandwich is back by popular demand confirming that it is possible to get the sandwich back if enough people ask for it..

We will keep an eye out for other McRib offerings world wide and let you know when we find them.

Make sure to keep reporting your McRib sightings at http://mcriblocator.com and emailing your McRib receipt photos to photos@mcriblocator.com Thank you!

Each year we hear of interesting McRib creations using other items on the McDonalds menu. This year, with all day breakfast, it was only a matter of time before someone created a mashup of McDonalds breakfast and the McRib.

We received an email from Andrew McDonald with his combination, two Biscuits and a McRib.

  
How does one order this unique sandwich?

  
What did everyone at this Pineville McDonalds think of this creation? “They thought it was wild, I thought it was delicious!!!” Andrew told us.

What do you think? Would you order the McRib this way? What breakfast/McRib combination do you think would taste good?

With all day breakfast there are many new combinations that before would have been very difficult to get. If you decide to try a new creation, please share images of your creation and we will be sure to share it!

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 Returns in the United States for the 2013 Season

1 Reply

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.

 

McRibs Retired for the Season

Leave a reply

The McRib’s seasonal retirement appears to have returned, we must resort to reflecting back on those great McRibs we had this past season.

The McRib is not the only retiree this season. A law enforcement official on the East Coast received a fitting send-off with a McRib Retirement Cake from The Cake Constructor. Now that is a retirement party nobody is soon to forget!

While not as creative of an achievement, Kim and I recently were able to enjoy a meal with two participants that have rarely been spotted together. On Feb. 5, 2013 after several calls to confirm the availability of the McRib, we were able to have the McRib and Shamrock Shake in the same meal. How rare is this? See Season 1 Episode 1 (the Pilot) of Raising Hope (jump to 7:37 into the episode) and listen to what Dana has to say.

Have you had a unique McRib related event this year? If so, we would love to share it with other McRib fans. Drop us a line with your story (and pictures if you have them).

BOGO McRibs Continue in Los Angeles Area

Leave a reply

Showing that they are in for the long haul, a McDonalds in the LA area stepped up their advertising from a simple sheet of paper to a more formal ad (note I spliced together the two images I was sent to show off the full ad):

Notice that the promotion runs through February 15, 2012 OR while supplies last.

This leaves one to wonder how many McRibs this store actually ordered, or if their sales were that far off for some reason. I can tell you with certainty, if this promotion was running in my neighborhood, the McRibs would run out well in advance of Feb 15. For now, all I have is Californian Dreamin, although hopefully not a crazed dream like this one I found.

If you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo of your receipt showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed. As the McRib has mostly gone back into hibernation, your help is needed in these increasingly desperate McRib times.
