- Ever since its debut on McDonald’s menus in 1981, the McRib has been a popular Golden Arches staple. Throughout its sticky existence, the McRib has garnered adoration from fans so strong that they’ll drive hundreds of miles for their favorite sandwich. The “McFib” has also earned its share of revulsion, confusion, and most of all, curiosity.

What is your favorite fast food item?
McChompkin Sammich
The Big Mac.
Dolphin
Korean BBQ
The McSkillet is my all time favorite McDonald's menu item. The steak one in particular. But it's long gone and forgotten 😥
*Me:* I should probably get some work done.
*TH-cam:* What is the history of the McRib?
*Me:* Ah yes, good question.
So True!
Good question, indeed,
This is my exact situation lmao
B- Beast. Truth to Power.And tough toilet paper
It's the important stuff we need to address. Can't go to work with something of that caliber floating around in the back of your head... You'd never get anything done!
"McDonalds and the United States Military"
Ah, yes. The US' main exported products.
Both are symbols of democracy and capitolism. So, the world is welcome.
Both are stereotypes made up by dumb shits
@@charlesuplifted5216 right I feel like I always hear people from other countries make xenophobic comments towards America then accuse us of the very thing they're doing. It's major league hypocritical.
I am displeased with your username
Totally agree. Many refuse to see it but it is what it is. Those who dislike this statement, tell us again what US's biggest export is? We're waiting.
Norman Osborn tried to save the Mcrib and make it a staple item but he was betrayed.
Thank you for reminding me of that masterpiece
“You can do this to me. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED!!!”
I literally paused this video, went and bought a Mc Rib, and came home and ate it while watching this. Groovy.
Like a boss 👍😂😭

That's a combination you don't see every day!
I mean yeah fast food used to be high quality
Dr. Roger "Frankenstein" Mandigo and Executive Chef René "McNuggets" Arend. Yummm...McRib
Fine dining?
LITERALLY 😂😅🤣
You're monsters to release this during a quarantine when the McRib isn't available. I want it more than I want to live.

Hahaha! 😄 You're funny!
@@bellamafiaquackafellarecor7770 I'd sell you to Satan for one McRib. That's how much what you think matters to me.
The Mc-nasty-Rib is hideous. One of the worst BBQ sandwiches ever. People need to eat a proper BBQ pork sandwich, with a good BBQ sauce.

Sea pigs
They mostly come at night.
...mostly.
Yup because you forgot that politicians are pigs and don't have spines!

The Mcrib got cancelled at my local McDonald's because of customers buying in bulk and slowing down the service. There was literally a picket around the store calling for the Mcrib to be reinstated. Imo, it should be a regular food item. It's so dam good. ♥
But read some of these other comments and see that McDonald's workers would strongly object to that.
correct
@@Thestuffnope who cares lol
I would start eating at McDeathnails again if they brought McRib back.
As a teenager, I worked at McDonald's from 98-00, and they introduced the McRib that summer for the season. We hated it! It was messy, required fastidious clean up, and was difficult to keep warm because the sauce would eventually dry up and turn into paste. We were always happy to see it go in the fall. I remember nights of constant scrubbing to get the warming plates clean of that forsaken paint, aka BBQ sauce that would cement itself onto the insides of said plate.p
You speak such blasphemy if food could be a god it would be named mc rib but I understand it's a messy bastard
McRib is godlike. Worth it!!!
i worked At McDonalds from 1983-1985 and the McRib was on the menu full time! i loved the McRib because at night BACK THEN our manager let us take the leftovers home after closing, i would take them home fry them up and eat good :)
@@expfighter5112 living life to the fullest
you know what stops that from happening? Well we use to change the pan EVERY hour never a stain or a scrub that was hard to clean......
*the McRib not beeing on the menu 24/7*
"is this some kind of American joke I'm too European to understand?"
Konstantin Pantelic I think I’m too American.
OMG SO IM NOT INSANE!!!! in germany we can get mcribs all year long, NEVER thought that be special or someting 😂😂😂
Only the yanks would protest over a sandwich made of pig end trails.
Cant remember it was not on the menu here in Germany, i could have one everytime i want.
I did some work in a Subway a while back(Boston) and they have a version on their menu should you need a craving fix.
I love McRib. I was working at McDonald's in 1981 when it was introduced, so I've loved it for some 40 years now.
Come to Germany, we have it all year round!
@@sauschwaenzleklan I've heard that, and believe me, it's tempting!
Me too !
I recently had a McRib and all I can say is that I was more pleased with my past memories of the McRib than I was with the one I just ate.
Still a decent sandwich, but... the thrill is gone.
Why? Was it more mushy, or what? Just curious.
@@NathanTarantlawriter It just wasn't as good as I remember it from my younger days... or at least it seemed to be "not as good". It's probably more of a perception issue on my end rather than a quality of the sandwich issue on their end.
@@jamesdietz29 I did the exact same thing. I used to love them as a kid. Now I can't finish one.
Same here. They don't seem as good as they used to be.
I heard that they used to steep the patties in the sauce for a while and don't do that anymore

Weird History : TAR TAR SAUCE
😂😂
That's how it should be pronounced
I thought it was a Simpsons reference. The episode where Homer becomes a union boss.
Johnny Khomlately yep , that’s the way I took it
🤣🤣🤣
Basically, my elementary school lunch sold back to me, it was called the 'riblet' sandwich at my school. It still good though.
Us too
Same here and I loved that shit
We had mcribs but they weren’t the real deal.
In fallout 4 a school distributed a pink paste similar to the meat slime.
We did too, the worst was the “vegetarian” one. I’m not exaggerating when I say it tasted like cardboard. They for some reason gave me one once instead of the pork. Just added extra bbq and dealt with it.
“The military brass and Mayor McCheese.”😂😂😂
Not too long ago, I saw a cartoon with the leader of Taiwan in a weapons shop. Uncle Sam is standing behind the counter saying "Hi, welcome to Weapons R US! How may I assist you today?" Chinese leader Xi meanwhile is outside the window furiously glancing in. A hilarious yet accurate picture of America's arms sales industry.
This has to be one of the best written Weird History episodes
The McRib is a permanent item here in Germany, and probably in more countries. It used to be one of my faves, sometimes I would have two in one sitting and I still like it once in a blue moon.
in belgium we have something called a mexicano that's the meat of the mcrib , we have it also in a burger , but not at mcdonalds
@@MrLedeberg bicky rib!!!
@@berndelignie8002 you know it :)
MrLedeberg as a Mexican I'm interested to know more about this "mexicano".
@@luis_zuniga google it :p looks exactly the same. Althought it mostly made of chicken
Here in Germany, the McRib is available at McDonalds all the time.
Really? So should I invaded Germany
@@snifey7694 Can confirm it! I always find it funny to see videos about the McRib because of this
But I really have never seen someone buy it 😅
Germany is also a Pork country which is converting more into a Beef Landscape.
@@hammahhylix8308 maybe because it is hard to eat proberly with so much sauce
This writing is solid and the narrator guy is low key hilarious. It totally works.
Never had one, and probably never will. My favorite fastfood item is a properly cooked and prepared Wendy's single.
You live a very sorry life.
People : "look at these folks, they use everything from the animal to survive. And we throw half of the animals away. Such a waste"
Also people : "eeeeew the Mc rib is made from throwaway organs."
@GozerTheTraveller I love the McRib because
1. My dad introduced me to it
2. I'm addicted
Right? 🤣
Un
The McRib is actually made from pork only. Its not high grade meat. Its barely mid grade but its good. Its actually the same quality pork sold in places like Walmart and places like it. Its not bad. It does have a lot of sugar. Not a crazy amount but a good amount. I cant speak for other restaurants that make their versions of a McRib. Theres a video with the entire process of how its made.
Thank you for saying this.The entire pig is edible. No part should ever be thrown away. You can make a decent soup out if their asshole, face and genitals. Source: Gordon Ramsay
A McRib is like a mystical creature that appears once in every blue moon
Ribacabra
I wish they put McRibs bbq sauce in a container it’s ways better the tangy bbq
Unless you live in Germany.
Absolutely fascinating! The McRib is a staple in my house every time it comes around! Almost like holiday!
I remember eating a McRib and being disappointed... underwhelmed... confused... traumatized by the feeling of immense sorrow as I learned the definition of "overhyped"
My dad said they were much better back in the day
Imagine how little you must have going on to stand outside McDonald's protesting the removal of a food item.
Yvette G Sezuahan sauce protestors may have been worse primarily it was for a packet of sauce and not a sandwich
Hushhhh
@@kaistzar2831 India maybe. They use pork patties as a substitute for beef.
@@kaistzar2831 They sell the McRib in Germany so technically it's just a holiday away hahahha

- story of the McRib
By far the funniest episode you produced I cannot stop laughing great job
wearing a mcrib shirt eating a mcrib learning about the history of the mcrib
I'd love to hear about how all fast food restaurants had to change their recipes around 10 years ago to meet new trans fat requirements and KFC crispy recipe fell off the menu for 8 months only to return as an abomination of its former self, they even changed their original recipe. EVERY recipe has changed from KFC to OREO.
how do you know this? & why hasn't anyone liked this fucking comment! did everybody just scroll past
And ofc chicken nuggets have never been the same. No more “dark meat” ones and they were always the best. Don’t remember that hot mustard sauce though ever.
ikr basically every food company once or more had to change their recipe
The really sad fact is that fat doesn't make you fat, it's the carbohydrates.
Between this and putting fucking sucralose/splenda in everything- EVEN THINGS WITH ACTUAL SUGAR IN THEM- it is no wonder everything tastes like shit now.
We got the McRib back in Australia early 2019 to only vanish a few months later.
It's only sold when pork is at its lowest demand
It only lasts 2-3 months a year in the U.S.
That's the magic of the McRib homie 😂
It comes and goes unfortunately. We’ve had it a few times before 2019. Always get one or two when it comes back! McRibs and shakerfries - it’s a never ending search 😂
@@SamP0rterBridges now I hope
This sandwich, no offense to those who like it, isn’t really all that. The “meat” is a bit rubbery and the BBQ sauce is the most basic bbq sauce there is.
Esv
Actually, i bought my first one ever , 2 weeks ago ... ate half then had a very strange after taste, threw the other half away, will not buy another, ever .... 😳
There was so much hype I had to buy it. Literally worse than my schools pulled pork sandwich.
@@rzz9594, yeah!!! I was getting this weird, almost bitter aftertaste

What about the time when lobsters and shrimp where considered "bugs" and gross to eat? ... food now considered ok to eat but a time ago they wouldn't even consider it?
The coronavirus came from eating meat considered gross (bat meat).
Rob: Oh I know! So true! I still won't eat sea bugs. You and me are on the same wave link! Blick 😝
@@joeblow7236 blah blah blah...
Rob Vallee actually the poor and prisoners ate lobster
@@taffykins2745 More shrimp and crab legs for me.
Unquestionably this documentary is one of the greatest I've seen!!! Out of 5 Stars: 5!
A former coworker had the best description of a McRib I think I've ever heard:
"It's not quite beef, it's not quite pork, it's not quite rib."
That’s a terrible description, it’s completely pork.
It's chopped and shaped mechanically separated meat aka all the scraps off the floor it's never seen a real pork rib in its life!!
Pretty sure McDonald's profits would skyrocket by bringing McRib back during this pandemic and all the shutdowns.
Ashley Godfrey is that why I get crunchy chunks sometimes?
@@madisonrankin1458 ?
Arco gas station markets actually sell a decent similar Mc rib, obviously not as good, but it’ll do a job!

This totally happens! Or you know something was bad but have to try it one more time just to really make sure! 😂😂😂
Interestingly, I had a McRib some years back, and was nonplussed by it.
Watching this vid makes me want to give it another try ...
Can't wait for the fall roll out every year!
That hot mustard sauce is amazing.
I still have 1 of those Flintstones mugs from McDonald's. From when I was a kid. Back when they actually gave you something decent for a prize
Careful alot of those cups are full of lead
I wish I still had ours tho the ones for flintstones were very appealing to me
Yeah I think mine is in one of my cabinets as an extra glass. Dont remember last time I used it. I just remember unwrapping it when we moved in to our house a couple years back. I'm trying to remember the Flintstone themed interior of McDonald's but can't😂
Adam Mcgrath ikr i wish i lived in like the 90s cuz all the toys i got from mcdonalds are some plastic my little ponies
Don't remember them being a prize, but I definitely remember buying one or two and the batman glass mugs as well.
The McRib always grossed me out. I worked at McD's as a teenager and we used to pull out those oddly-shaped frozen bricks, put them on the grill, then toss them in a vat of barbecue sauce that bubbled all day and had to be stirred to keep from burning. When someone ordered one, we had to fish one out and slap it on a bun with pickles and raw onions. Heinous. No thank you.
...my son used to work for McDonald's he told me how nasty some of the sandwiches were. 🙂
@@melaniemills4505 My brother once worked at McDonald's and told me they used to suck the juice out of the pickles before slapping them on the burgers, but I think he made that up. Maybe.
You won't ruin it for me🤷♂️ I will always stay a McRib-Lover❤️
You always grossed me out.
@@melaniemills4505 your son was a bad cook.
Crazy how this is a mythical food item in some countries, while in others you can get it easily throughout the year or even buy packs of them in supermarkets
THE BEST CHANNEL ON TH-cam I'M MCLOVIN' IT😂
Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of working at McDonald’s knows exactly what it was like to warm up the McRib BBQ Sauce. Although delicious, this sauce warmed up was like pepper spray in food form. I’m not kidding, this stuff literally would make you tear up and burn your nostrils every time you had to open the container. I worked there for 3 years before I left I could go on and on about that place.
Dude.. Same.. It was terrible
Even worse, was washing out the steamer pans at the end of the day that contained the sauce. That stuff would vaporize if you used the sprayer on the pan and would permeate the entire kitchen area.
Thats cauz capsaicin is what pepper spray is made from.
Best free high I've ever had trapped cooking with jalapenos in a poorly ventilated area.

"and created a dish worthy of a spooky clown."
You owe me a keyboard. The beer got everywhere. Fuck that was good. The layers.
All I can think of when seeing the McRib is the Simpsons Krusty Burger parody, when Krusty announces to the town that the animal that the Ribwhich was made from had gone extinct nd the people asked:
"The cow, the pig, the chicken?" And krusty replies "No....Think smaller....And more legs."
The deal about the trimmings reminds me of the kids that watched a chef make chicken nuggets from chicken trimmings, and when asked if they'd still eat them, all of them raised their hands.
"McDonald's was done playing games with America's partially clogged hearts"

Thanks Adam !
Having grown up on a farm that had pork, the McRib never was really all that good to me. It was okay, but nothing to oink about.
These sandwiches were excellent! If I still ate fast food it would still be my favorite!

I have only actually eaten one McRib from McDonald’s and that was in the early 90s. I think they were test runs for army MRE’s, because sometime after 96, The restructured pork patty was introduced into the MRE meal numbers
Honestly, I love good McDonald's burger every once in a while but whenever the McRib shows up, I know its temporary and thats why I havent bothered to try it. That was like the time they had those great mozzerella sticks for a dollar and that sweet chili Thai sauce. I wont be disappointed anymore...
Ahhh yes the mozzarella sticks. Damm they were good.
Oh that Thai Sauce was awesome!
And the fried chicken. Also good. Also vanished 😢
Damn i dont care whats in them,
