The McRib has been a staple on McDonald's menus for the past 40 years. It's a fan-favorite sandwich that features a seasoned boneless pork burger, wrapped in BBQ sauce and topped with shredded onions and dill pickles, all served on a homemade bun. On Thursday, the fast-food chain announced that the beloved sandwich will be returning annually in November. The McRib first made its debut in 1981, when it was released regionally in Kansas City, Kansas.
It quickly became a hit with locals and was soon released nationally the following year. Although McDonald's didn't specify an end date for the McRib's return this year, it is still a limited-time menu item. Last year, the McRib made its first appearance in November and was available in all 50 states within two years. If you have the McDonald's app, you may have received a reminder to place your McRib order shortly before it disappears.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of McRibs, so it's likely that it will make a return to the national level. With its marketing strategy, the McRib combines its exclusivity, scarcity and seasonality into a tasty offer. So, if you haven't had a chance to try some McRib, you might want to head to your local McDonald's and place an order. McDonald's restaurants across the country are now serving McRib sandwiches again for a limited time this week. So don't miss out on your chance to enjoy this classic sandwich while it lasts!.
