Delish.com: Elusive McRib Returns to McDonald's this November

[Mr. Sinister]

Love their fries.

And yes, Dan T. wins the thread. I'm still laughing just thinking of it.

Yeah, that too. And the McFlurries

Last time I ate a McRib I ended up with appendicitis the next day. Coincidence, perhaps, but I haven't touched one since. Just glad the penicillin did its trick, at least avoided a nasty McRib scar!

The McRibb has similar ingredients as a yoga mat. Namaste bitches!

At least it’s not made from downward dog meat.

The McRib is nasty. Nobody—McDonald’s included—has made any bones about it (crappy pun intended). One serving has 28 grams of fat, 8 of which are saturated, and 890mgs of sodium. Eating them daily would be like getting your nutrients from a crisco-slathered salt-lick attached to the wall by your bed.

Besides being nutritionally vapid, the pork-based sandwich is gross to look at: The bun is bright white and otherwise nondescript, and the meat is grey, lumpy, and molded into the shape of a small dog’s rib cage. As pointed out by Time’s Healthland blog late last week, the horrible sandwich is made from a full 70 ingredients—34 of which are found in the bun. Among those ingredients: “azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80.”

These components are in small enough quantities to be innocuous. But it’s still a little disconcerting to know that, for example, azodicarbonamide, a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes, is found in the McRib bun. The compound is banned in Europe and Australia as a food additive. (England’s Health and Safety Executive classified it as a “respiratory sensitizer” that potentially contributes to asthma through occupational exposure.)

Since Time pointed it out, many new sites have rehashed the horrible fact that the cult favorite shares an ingredient with yoga mats. But I’m not so sure this should be surprising. Eating a McRib is not exactly an intellectual act, and breaking down and analyzing the ingredients is about as pointless as counting ketchup as a vegetable.

The McRibb is disgusting. McDonalds does three things correctly, and three things only.

1. French fries
2. Egg McMuffins
3. Filet o Fish

Order anything else and prepare to be disappointed.

Sausage biscuit and hash brown.

And hotcakes and sausage. Basically things that they can't technically screw up.

Vanilla milkshakes and hash browns.

The eggmcmuffin/ hashbrown combo has been dominating the breakfast time driving sandwich my entire life. It's a strong move, especially with some OJ to wash that crap down with.

So it's not coming out for a couple of months. Oh darn,gee whiz,and shucks. Guess I'll have to get by with chewing on the bottom of my shoe. Pretty much the same thing anyway

In Minneapolis area McD's they're introducing The McNabb. Order it and the cashier throws it at your feet.

One of my favorite all time quotes on ES.

[Mr. Sinister]

Can't wait to get my hands on one. Gotta have it
