Why Is the McRib Only Offered Occasionally and Why so Randomly? 

Poor ad placement. Nobody gives a shit about some snobby looking glasses.

I pay cash for ad free content. I realize some people have sponsors to afford to provide videos, but this is obnoxious, to put it mildly.

I actually appreciate finding out about that company considering i myself do in fact wear glasses 👓... if you guys dislike that ad so much hey guess what... its at the beginning of the video you don't have to watch it!!! Holy sh*t revolutionary idea i know.

its only seasonal only at the peak of ABORTIONS as its made of Fetus carcasses.

@@kingdingaling781 The really annoying thing is that youtube has already been putting an obscene number of ads on videos anyway. You have to sit through 2 unskippable ads just to get to their in video sponsor and then there are more ads in the middle of the video.

Yeah, really! If McDonald's really does serve ~1% of the world's population (78 MILLION people) every. Single. Day... Yeah, it's not too hard to see them driving a species to extinction through demand.

@@benjaminoechsli1941 well that's not scary at all.

I can't help but think that the salt extraction of the protein and molding of the patty looks quite a bit like how the Ribwich is cast.

False, completely false.

Agreed, it’s like they tried to hide the taste of its “meat” with all that sauce.

I miss the build your own lettuce tomato burger deal. Came in a plastic tray.

I have never eaten that😬

I want to know how people go around the ribs when eating the burger lol.

Its only shaped like ribs, but boneless except for the animal byproducts.

@@nathanhyde2079 Heh, I was kidding of course

Glad I'm not the only one remembering the Flinstones correctly!

Simon is maybe "too young" to remember. Old-timers like us know it though. :-)

My favorite thing is how Simon can speak with such confidence on topics he knows absolutely nothing about.

Fred yelling was the highlight of that credit roll and the cat kicking him out, lmao

My son swears that the waitress puts a chair on the side of Fred's car. I've tried explaining time and time again that it's brontosaurus ribs but he keeps claiming it's a chair.

And it is just as nasty. I don't understand the appeal of McRIbs.

Not as good IMO.

Ahhh! But what about the bun?! That soft-bread, oven-like, near sour-dough perfection.

There is no such thing as direct, nor indirect heat therefore the difference between barbecue and grilling can't be defined as such. If there were a definitive difference it would revolve around temperature over time, not made up terms and marketing hoopla.

Yeah, you could probably make a good buck making a 5 second video about it .......

Depends on the country. Overhere they sell temporarly special burgers normaly sold only in other countries. If that burger is liked its often sold out early. Once i have seen a fight between customers break out because he bought the last burger. Also they make special burgers who are designed for that market.

I get the concept, but I still disagree on the execution. I grew up in the UK...the last time I saw a McRib in the UK was many many years ago, possibly not even this century and it was super popular at that time. Now I live in China, where pork is cheap and indeed the favorite meat. No attempt to launch the McRib here. Finally, note that the McRib is very popular in Germany even while always being on the menu. I really don't think they're playing this game optimally.

Yes... people are stupid.

The McRib is absolutely hideous and disgusting. Horrible tasting in my opinion. I took a bite of a McRib years ago and spit it out. Could not even get it down. And I was not even into home BBQ goodness at that time. Smoke some 'real' ribs authentic and pull some of that great tasting BBQ meat off the bone and put it on a quality bun. Now that is a proper rib meat sandwich! Yum

Makes sense maccas don’t pay full price or buy the best quality. This was a way to get good quality at rock bottom price

Interesting. Glad it was saved.

That means they bought at below standard market value, which creates more profit margin than usual. So it wasn't out of benevolence, but it certainly prevented economic damage to the local pork industry.

Now one of the biggest players in the US pork industry is owned by China and exports massive amounts to China, where it is very popular. There is so much pork going to China now, the US could totally stop consuming pork and the meat packers could still sell all of it overseas.

Have to wonder if McDonalds hadn't manipulated the market to crash the prices, then stepped in to play hero.

It's funny people don't realise this, as McD and other chains do this all the time, especially topped burgers that are around for a month and then gone. They only notice the McRib because it's a different meat base, but various chicken sandwiches and burgers with novel seasonal toppings are always cycling through

That's because, though it tastes good, we start to be able to taste that it's made out of every byproduct under the sun, and so you have to take it away and allow time to hit us with the natural Neuralizer again.

Whenever Mcdonalds releases the McRib I will go down and by one and absolutely enjoy it. I'll buy another one a few days later and still like it, buy another a week later or so later, and don't care if I ever eat one again. The process repeats a year later.

I thought it had to do with pork prices and when they are low.

One was enough for me. They're awful

RadioSnivins only the ones of those who panic binge eat the McRibs

@@mrwassef LOL the term _"panic binge"_ struck me as very funny.😅

@@AlexZander688 Well it's McDonald's, what did you expect? It _is_ actual rib meat, just ground up and compressed back together after being taken off the bone. They can't serve a sloppy joe type sandwich with loose meat, so obviously it's processed. I didn't think it was as bad as you described; it was edible. Just like their hamburgers are going to disappoint you if you're hoping for a top grade hamburger off the backyard grill. If you want an authentic pulled pork sandwich then you shouldn't go to McDonald's for it. Comparing the McRib to that is like complaining that a Volkswagon Beetle doesn't go as fast as a Ferrari. It's like, no duh.

@@xeokym223 it is! That guy is special!🥴 Someone might need to report him! Might have harmed puppies 🐶 and kittens 😸 as a kid!🧐🤔

It use to be a fair sandwich when they first introduce it ,, now it's horrible !!!!!!

@Koala Wrath No, he's kinda right. At least I think it applies to me. I find myself lying about insignificant things all the time for no reason, and I'm pretty sure it's because of the fact that I'm used to being able to say whatever I want online with little chance of anyone bothering to check.

Good poem bruh

I wonder if that affects their income.

This is a good way to chase off viewers. Who buys the random shit from ads?

You mean you skip what pays them? Why are people so concerned with getting shit for free. Even when all you have to do is sit through an ad that’s shorter than any commercial 🤦‍♀️

Not sentimental but if you can try the BK Angus burger, it is epic, or at least was while it lasted, I probably ate far too much of them when they were available. Nicely toasted bun, BBQ sauce, cheddar, bacon, caramelized onion, and a chunky big fat Angus beef burger. McRib is good but not that good :-)

Omw to Germany. The mcrib may be a cheap alternative to actual ribs, but damn with a little extra sauce it does hit.

Smaller country than America

pork is generally more popular in Europe, more pigs raised there

Yesss omg that was so good! When I worked at McDonalds I would open at 4:00am on the weekends, and so my "lunch" break would be early in the day and I would always get that sandwich! I had the whole order planned out to hit exactly what my crew meal limit was lol. That and my lunch order for non-opening days which was the southwest salad and some other stuff. The quarter pounder deluxe or whatever it was called was also pretty good while it lasted.

I liked the steak bagel, but I loved the mcskillet. No other breakfast burrito has ever compared.

@@prollins6443 it was soo good. I hated the sauce. Mostly cssue I had to smell it all day when I worked back there.

@@Mitsurugi2424 I worked at a mcD's for several years, I know what you're saying. My workers would make all kinds of weird food when we shut down for the night

McDonald's puts seasonings on their burger patties? Seriously? I would possibly enjoy a McDonald's Patty that had some salt and pepper on it. I can never taste anything like that!

@@dankuchar6821 that's mostly all it is

I saw a shirt last year that said "The McRib is BACK! (actually it's heart, tongue and butthole but who cares!)". That made me both happy and sad....damn it...I want a McRib now.

A sign at a nearby McDonalds once had been altered to say "Big 'N' Nasty" instead of "Big 'N' Tasty". Hilarity abounds.

Most fast food is nasty so I don't judge

Glad you don't like it because it means more for me

Take a small plunger (4 inches variety for bar sinks) and attach to a LOOONG pole, usually painters pole. Then..... some duct tape and maybe spray water on cup, like 2 drops soap in it. and boom. sign pole.. LOL. It's harmless yet funny under the age of 30.

They definitely are though. I read it on the internet so it must be true.

@@thenetherone1597 what is a neoptarin?

@@FerociousSniper our story begins as all good stories do with hubris... in 1975 ronald mcdonald met with a South american tribe deep within the amazon rainforest who refused to sell their land for pasture. They told him of a devil in the jungle, a beast with eyes like fire and skin like steel. Believing this to be just superstition the clown presured them into a deal and unwittingly purchessed the breeding grouds of the deadliest predator on six legs, the great Neoptera Gargantua. Known to science as the neoptarin. Of the 10 men sent to flush out the beasts only 3 returned of the 3 only 2 actually saw the beast but just 1 managed to kill one. Ronald found himself looking over the mangled corpse of something not quite a mantis and not quite a monster its golden skin accented with purple stripes. Fearing the legends were true they decided to burn thd body and speak of it to no one... and thats when the real discovery was made. We now know that during mating the females eat the males and if she dosnt like the flavour, the show is over. Consequently only the tastiest neopterans pass on their genes. The smell of the cooking bug overwhelmed the expedition crew and the McRib was born. Now only ronald himself hunts the beast, not only addicted to the meat but the thrill of the hunt, when asked he told BBC horizon "do you know what a neopteran is? Its honest and pure and if i die hunting one ill know i was bested but something beautiful. They say only the brave hunt the neopteran but only a fool would hunt them alone... that is why they call him the clown.

Salt is 1st, no doubt.

tbh... i wondered it was there at all.

Well.. yeah. I don't think anyone who eats at McDonald's is really eating there for quality so much as they're eating there for convenience and price. If you don't want to cook, want to eat for a few bucks and probably don't want to have to drive too far, McDonald's is probably going to be your best bet. At that point "it got me full without poisoning me" is pretty much all the quality required.

I'm surprised it's on the mission statement at all.

@@OptimumTaurus Totes, the only time I eat there is late at night when nothing else is open, and I need food to offset the amount of alcohol I drank.

Not sure he actually defined it properly. "barbecue" comes from the french expression "de la barbe au cul" from the "beard to ass" in a figurative way of how an animal would be staked and cooked over a fire.

Nobody thinks barbecue only means cookout. Its just developed many meanings

I'm from North Carolina, son... you can't BS me on propper 'cue. :)

The word Barbaque…BBQ… however you want to spell it is from french when they stick a pole through the pig from the Barb (beard) A (to) Cul (ass) barb-a-cul - the fashion of making, cooking, and eating BBQ is of course much older and spread around the world

@@injunsun So you're proud of killing millions of animals only to throw away most of their meat?

By being squeamish about offal you are only restricting yourself, you aren't "better".

The pork prices made sense to me, easier to find cheap beef, than pork

They lost customers when the customers found they can buy the meat separately in frozen dinners (and more cheaply, even considering the additional cost of buns and toppings)
