Return of the McRib!!!!

dml955i

Is anyone else excited that the McRib has returned for a limited engagement?

The first time I sampled this rare delicacy was in Myrtle Beach, SC back in '84...

I normally ignore McDonald's, made a highly illegal/dangerous U-turn to hit the drive-thru after I spotted "McRib is Back!" on my local McDonald's marquee

They're delicious! I've already had 4 in the last week...

Nonsense! Anything that tastes this good can't be bad for you... I might have to stop tonight on my way home. According to evilp, I have to make up for some lost time!

Very misleading AD, suggesting that it is Baby Back Ribs. "The McRib is Back"?
No, more like Fluid Ham compressed into the pattern of Ribs. More thorough Demographic Analysis might have produced the the hook "McRib is Phat"

"Pressed meat is a treat!"

I bet if the McRib was on the menu at the time, that Morgan Spurlock joker wouldn't have gotten so sick. The McRib has healing powers!

You had me at BHA, TBHQ...

Is the ingredient list supposed to deter or motivate me to consume more? Besides, all those chemicals were made using elements found on the Periodic Table, so in theory they naturally occur...

Numerous inconclusive explanations based on pork prices and even conspiracy theories have been suggested to explain the McRib's periodic reappearances.
