Break the law. Pay the price. Second sign

Here is a fun fact for you: The McRib is only ever "back" when pork prices are at their lowest or on a decline.

Germany sells McRibs year round.

Yes, but over there they are called the Mc'Schnitzels.

Heck they are made out of pig unmentionables and shrink when laughed at.

Had to get all scientific didn't you. They are nasty at any point.

Maybe they got laughed at *because* of shrinkage?

Now THAT looks like an appetizing piece of "meat!"

I remember about 3 or so years back Taco Bell was caught not meeting the minimum requirements for the label. If memory serves me correctly, it was somewhere in the 30% range.

The problem with viral internet accusations is that some people remember it as fact long after it gets debunked. Taco Bell was in fact sued, the suit was bogus and withdrawn. Being 'caught' and being 'accused' are different. Don't mess with my taco bell yo!

Word. Finely ground beef. Well, words.

Maybe their McDonalds aren't so focused on cutting cost at every possible opportunity?

Plus you can get beer with your meal there. BEER! Clearly they're doing something right.

I checked today at lunch. No joy.

The girl said they were supposed to be back on friday!

McRib = Spam

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Hey, I just bought some spam for [STRIKE]paranoid[/STRIKE]preparation purposes. Tried some of the turkey, pretty good. Now, if they'd just do a mcrib version...

 

[TheKog]

Ugh! Really?

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Burger meat at fast food joints all looks the same. The difference is how they cook it.

Deliciously gross.

 

[SMiller]

I can no longer eat McRibs after seeing the video where they put the McChicken under the microscope, no more processed food for me. Fast food sucks, I at least high roll if I must and get something decent if I must.

 

[atvdave]

I call bs! They are not that big.

(never seem like it at least)

The classic shrinkage from Seinfeld...

I'm not a fast food junkie, but I must say that BK has that chicken marinara sandwich and I give it a +1 BK.
