The fast food chain has never been able to permanently remove its iconic McRib from menus, despite the fact that the company has made several attempts to achieve this goal. There have been a number of indications that consumers have been receiving recently that the BBQ pork sandwich is being brought back out of retirement, and it is possible that the debut may take place very soon.
Featuring a boneless pork patty that has been seasoned, slathered in a tangy barbecue sauce, and served with slivered onions and pickles on a toasted bun, the controversial McRib (520 calories) has been referred to as “gross” by some individuals and “delicious” by others. The product was initially presented by McDonald’s in 1981, and during the subsequent decades, it was reintroduced on occasion as a limited-time offering.
The sandwich has been formally canceled at least four times over the course of the years by the fast-food behemoth, although it has never been withdrawn permanently. For example, McDonald’s brought back the McRib for a short time in certain areas during the fall of 2023, just one year after hosting a “Farewell Tour” for the McRib in late 2022. This was happening at the same time period.
It wasn’t until the summer of 2024 that consumers of McDonald’s were given a hint about when the McRib will be available for purchase again on grocery store menus. During a visit to the TODAY program in June, Joe Erlinger, the President of McDonald’s in the United States, said that the sandwich will go back into production “later this year.”
Despite the fact that he did not provide any particular information on the exact date on which the McRib would be once again available in the United States, McDonald’s recently made the announcement that the sandwich will be available for a limited period in the United Kingdom and Ireland beginning on October 16th. According to a press release, this will be the first time in over ten years that it has been seen at McDonald’s restaurants in the two international markets.
According to a statement released by Thomas O’Neill, who is in charge of the menu at McDonald’s in the United Kingdom, this relaunch was a response to the intense demand seen from consumers.
In addition to being a sandwich, it is a phenomenon in its own right. After over a decade of waiting, we are happy to bring back this famous menu item. We have heard our fans loud and clear, and the petitions and requests that they have made on social media prove that they have heard us.
Our inquiries on the precise time that the McRib would be available at restaurants in the United States of America this year were not immediately answered by a representative of McDonald’s. Given that there are just a few months left in 2024 and that Erlinger made a promise in June that the sandwich will be available again “later this year,” it is quite probable that buyers in the United States will not have to wait for an excessively long time.
While this is going on, fans should keep a look out for a number of other exciting new debuts at McDonald’s. These include the Chicken Big Mac, which has 700 calories, the Pumpkin & Crème Pie, which is back with 280 calories, and Boo Buckets.
