Why Does McDonald's Keep Bringing McRib Back? Blogger Has Theory

Staley needs to check his numbers. Pork has NEVER been $9 - $13 a pound in this country, unless you're talking about a high-end cut, which clearly is NOT in a McRib.

More like 9 cents to 13 cents per pound

Forget about the pork. I want to know what the pickle is made of.

When I was a kid growing up on the farm , we butchered our own hogs. We made this mixture called scrapple which included everything except the oik, or so I was told. The product was good fried, but most people wouldn't eat scrapple if they knew what it was made of.

seeing as how they make a "Pork" sausage breakfast sandwich i highly doubt they do this due to pork costs. otherwise they wouldnt make the breakfast sandwich either, Right?

$9 ~ $13 that's whack!!!

In the bar I worked at in '86 our very fine ultra small baby back ribs imported from Denmark were costing us $4.29 per lb. That was a high end product from a small purveyor who always had high prices, probably could have been had @ $3.49 if we had time to shop around. McDonalds purchases their meats by the ton, NOT the pound.

Pork has never been $9 to $13 dollars a pound. What garbage are they throwing at us now?

A few years ago McDonald's tried to make a "healthy" hamburger out of seaweed extract. I didn't like it very much but it was kinda cool... when you held it up to your ear you could hear the ocean.... :P

Why are people so shocked about eating tripe, stomach and hearts? They are still made from the same thing. guess what? Proteins, amino acid, whatever you call it. Its just that americans are so brainwashed about what is good to eat (lean meat) and whats not good to eat (tripe) In other countries, its considered a delicacy. And guess what people, the hot dog you eat has the same content as the McRib patty.

Why is pork so much cheaper than beef in the grocery store?

In other words, the McRib sandwich is made out of McGuts. Yum.

What in the hell is in a McRib?

Chicken nuggets aren't much better, they strain chicken trimmings including bones..so the marrow gets in. Chicken Mc Marrow's

Living in Texas, I go to my favorite barbeque joint and get a pulled pork sandwich when I have a hankerin' for some pig meat.

I keep wondering if the people who like the Mcrib have ever tasted a real rib sandwich?.....noobs

this is false, the McRib comes back every year at the same time, not when pork prices are down.

Ive been a manager for McDonalds and the answer is.........towards the later part of the year sales drop because of Christmas shopping and holidays, McRib is popular enough that they make good sales on them to make up sales. This is also why this is the time of year that Arbys brings back 5 for 5... More

it's made of employee's they don't want to fire or
lay off.

i wasnt very happy when i found out 2 mcribs and a large soda came up to $8.00

It's obvious this is a "SLAM" piece-so bias and so slanted. If the mcrib is made up of heart,tripe and stomach (which Wiess cleverly alleged McDonalds fills their ribs with) then
why would it matter what the price of pork is?Whe was the last time she slammed hot dogs? And $9 to $13 a pound-Get real. A Sh@tty piece by a sh$tty writer.
