The McRib Returns, Once More, but with a Limited-Time Offer
Guess what, folks? The McRib, that saucy sandwich that McDonald’s teased us with a farewell in 2022, is rising from the ashes like a phoenix. Yes, you read that right! According to the folks at Today.com,

A Delicious Comeback: The McRib Returns to McDonald’s Menus
McDonald’s had this to say about the McRib’s return: “It turns out not everyone was ready to say goodbye to the McRib after last year’s Farewell Tour. While it won’t be available nationwide, some lucky fans may find their favorite elusive saucy sandwich at their local McDonald’s restaurants this November,” as reported in their press release.
Now, you might be wondering, “Are people still as excited as they used to be for this boneless pork sandwich smothered in barbecue sauce?” Sure, it’s got those tasty onion and pickle toppings that make it a perfect mini lunch or afternoon snack. But let’s face it, its come-and-go nature, recurring farewells, and limited availability have caused it to lose a bit of its shine.
Limited-Time Craze: Grab Your McRib Before It’s Gone Again
Just take a look at the comments on Snack-O-Later’s post, and you’ll see what we mean. One person asked, “Wonder what was up with that silly marketing scam they went on last year?” Another cleverly quipped, “The McRib is the Kiss of Sandwiches,” making a reference to the glam band’s multiple farewell tours.
McDonald’s does have a knack for bringing back the classics, though. And it seems like fans can’t resist them every time they make a limited return to the menus. Remember the spicy McNuggets? They made a comeback in 2020 and again in 2022, and people were all over them.
Fan Excitement: Reactions to the McRib’s Latest Comeback
But amidst all this McRib excitement, there’s one throwback classic that fans are still clamoring for: the Snack Wrap. “Okay, so what about my grilled chicken Snack Wraps,” one fan asked eagerly. “They need to bring back Snack Wraps instead,” another insisted. “We wanted wraps, man,” one more lamented, echoing the sentiments of Snack Wrap enthusiasts everywhere.
Where to Find It: Locating the McRib During its Return
Sadly, the Snack Wraps disappeared from the U.S. McDonald’s menu in 2016 and haven’t been seen since. However, if you’re desperately craving one, you could always make a pilgrimage to Canada or the U.K., where they still grace the menu. Alternatively, Burger King has thrown its hat into the ring by offering its own version of the wrap since August.
But hey, if you can’t resist the allure of the McRib, go ahead and indulge. This time, there’s no need to fear, because odds are it will make its return again in 2024. And if you’re wondering where to find one near you, you can always rely on the handy McRib Locator website. Happy saucy sandwich hunting!
