the McRib is back!

[Lee]

You ever stop and think that some of those overweight folk enjoying their Mcdonalds and a diet coke just prefer that taste of it over regular coke?  My uncle is a big fella.  He played pro Football and is just large, he is also diabetic and drinks diet coke with every meal.  I have a history of diabetes in my family and all of the men are thick, wide shouldered and from fit to fairly overweight.  I'm sure they appreciate assholes who snicker at them while out enjoying a meal.  I can only hope that one day my uncle and you run into each other as he also has quite a nasty streak and temper in him.  Oh I saw your smilie and it can lick my ass with it's tongue after i eat two Mcribs when it relaunches.  Damn your right!  being an asshole on the internet is fun!  

Yeah, but you really aren't very good at the asshole part. I am scared I might run into your uncle though. Whatever will I do?

Let me help you with your reading comprehension and memory. My post where I talked about laughing at a fat coworker you seemed to have made a sweeping generalization that I just go out and say "Look a fat person!" HAHA. I couldn't care less if you or your brother is fat (although some of you are pretty damn disgusting to look at). Great, congrats! Be fat and proud! I do very much laugh at my coworker who HAS to lose weight for his job and continually talks about losing weight while he eats his fast food for lunch everyday and drinks 2 liters of diet soda to wash it down. I laugh at people who claim to care about being fat and do nothing about it. Yeah it's not easy, but don't claim to want to lose weight while you eat like shit.

Just because somebody is eating some sort of bad food (a Big Mac, pizza or whatever) doesn't mean that they also necessarily want to drink a couple dozen teaspoons of sugar at the same time.  Maybe, as morlac points out, they just like the taste of diet better, or maybe they wanted a cold caffeinated drink without the sugar, or maybe they figured that they are already taking in more calories than they should and there is no need to add another 1000 of empty non-diet soda calories.

Jesus, it was a joke!

Only at GT can a thread on the McRib turn into a flame war .

Well it has made a pretty crappy day a little more amusing.

I suppose it does come more naturally to some people.  Though, I will admit I don't have much practice at it.  You seem to be an expert, maybe you can coach me up?

edit: Damn  I really do suck at this.   I forgot to add the  which disallows anyone to take offense.

I mentioned to my brother Sunday that the McRib is back! And he gave me this mock-pained look and said, "Oh my god. My stomach hurts just thinking about it!"   I really don't remember if I ever had one, but I recall he hasn't liked them (that was probably 20 years ago though). I will try to get over to the one that offers it sometime this week or maybe the upcoming weekend. If possible, I'll take photographic evidence.

Northern Ohio McDs have the McRibb on sale today. I had one for lunch, super sized with a diet coke just for Lee.

but did you have 50 chciken nuggets along with it?  otherwise you're wasting a perfectly good diet coke.

We have sworn off MickeyD's. Haven't ate there in almost a year now and have no plans to ever eat there again.

So how do you explain this?

It seems like forever when you haven't even there for 4 months, lets be fair.

I meant 4 months without McDs feels like a year for some people.

Well played, sir.

I had a McRib combo for lunch yesterday (the McD's near my office now has it).
-Tastes good, not great. Certainly not as good as the average grilled baby back ribs at your restaurant of choice, but it is cheaper and easier to eat.
-Too much BBQ sauce for my tastes. If I have it again, I'll probably skip it and just get some from the dispensers to add.
-Lived to tell about it.  Honestly, if you check the nutrition info, it's a lot "less bad" than stuff like an Augus Burger in the calories, fat, sodium department or many offerings at other fast food joints. Doesn't mean you should live off of it, but it's not some sort of monster. 

[CeeKay]

woohoo! the local place just got them back!

Nice Diet Coke.

Dude, Caffeine Free Diet Coke. WTF. You might as well be drinking water with some Splenda thrown into it. For the love of god at least make sure it has caffeine in it.

That's what you guys fixate on?  What about his eating two of these sandwiches, and extra barbecue sauce on the side.

I've pretty much stopped drinking anything with caffeine in it other than the occasional iced tea.  that said the diet coke was just a at Lee; I washed them down with Naty Light instead.

Natty Ice wouldve been the ideal drink of choice.

I'm not sure if I want to know if they make a reuglar Natty.

I think they do, they just add unfiltered goat piss to the light mix, on top of the regular piss that's in the light recipe.

Damn this thread. I had a nice and healthy turkey sandwich and yogurt packed for lunch and instead I caved and Super Sized a McRib meal, with a diet Coke (for Lee). Grrrrrrrr.

And your verdict on the delicous meter?  (For the MCRibb, we all know Diet Coke is yummy, even Lee)

From LifeHacker: Homemade McRib

It actually sounds good. Real pork!

A little search turned up this gem...

Solving The McRib Mystery: McDonald's Employees Tell Us What's In The Seasonal Sandwich
http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/2010/11/mcdonalds_mcrib_sandwich_fast.php

Answers varied from "Frozen pork patty," to "Deep fried pork," to "Pressed pork." Perhaps the most comprehensive answer was, "A boneless pork patty that's deep-fried and then slathered with tangy barbecue sauce, topped with pickles and onions and served on a warm roll."

While (part of) that sounds delicious, not one employee was able to explain how the McRib gets its signature "rib" shape. At store after store they each shrugged their shoulders and said, "I have no idea." One did speculate, however, that "it must be magic."[ /size]

For those afficianados, could you sum up it for me with a yes/no?

Is it worth taking the one free lunch day (trying a 4 at home, 1 eat out) a week to try this? Curious about it.

[CeeKay]

Would a man who kicked a bear pussy out at trying a McRib? I think not. Grab your junk, man up and get one already!

If you mean every week, no. If you mean just to try it once for fun, I give my blessing.  

I had one and it tasted fine (and nutritionally, it's less bad for you than half the other things on the menu probably), I just don't particularly like smearing BBQ sauce all over my face and hands. The TV ads make it seem like that's half the fun, so each his own. I mean, I love eating baby back ribs at certain restaurants but my motto is if they're done right, they're succulent enough to enjoy with little or no BBQ sauce. Usually if a place drowns it in 'em, you know something's amiss in how they're cooked. Clearly, without being slathered in sauce, a McRib is just not fit to be seen, apparently.

I believe that's called misquoting. Unless that was on purpose for amusement. 

[Isgrimnur]

It was how I read it initially, so I thought I'd share the warped sentence parsing with the world.

[Einsteinium]

This sentence fills me with curiosity and shame thinking about your approach to eating lunch.

[Blackjack]

Circumstances forced me to eat at McD's twice today. Though I resisted the McRib's siren call, just for you guys, I saved my place mat...




Mmmm, it's like food p0rn...  

Though I must say I have never, ever seen onions like that on any burger/sandwich at McDonald's over. I don't think they're real... yeah I know, that's why they're perfect for a McRib!
