11 Amazing Facts about the McDonald's McRib

[boynamedsuse]

Regarding how many people eat at McDonald's, consider that the TB membership is not "normal," and the people replying to this thread are not a representative sample of the TB population anyway.

Like i_got_a_mohawk, I don't eat at McDonald's unless I'm on the road (perhaps once a year--last time for me was June) and even then I limit myself to something like a fish sandwich (the tartar sauce hides the flavor) and a milk.

Well, none of this really surprises me. When I was a kid my Dad's company did some business with McDonalds (remember those foam plastic clamshell containers that a Big Mac came in for a brief period of time in the 1970s? My Dad's company supplied the raw plastic material to the molder who made those containers) and during the course of their business discussions/negotiations some McDonalds bigwig proudly mentioned that their hamburger meat uses every part of the cow except for four: brains, bones, eyeballs, and -- presuming the beast had any just prior to slaughter -- testicles. That means that your 99¢ McDonalds hamburger contains ground up fillet mignon right next to the ground up anal sphincter.

Mmm, mmm, good!

I've probably been there 4 times this year. Twice for an egg and cheese breakfast biscuit (I was in a hurry to get to work and they're not too bad), once for a late night burger (meh, so bland) with the missus because it was the only close drive-through and we were starving, and once for a hot chocolate because I was really cold.

That's a typical year for me in terms of McD's. I never wanted the McRib, and now I will absolutely avoid it like the plague.

Not McRibs, but this will give you a general idea of "How It's Made"

Hot Dogs

Maybe they are developing their newest product. The Rocky Mountain McOysters,

Some farmers get lonely, it isn't our place to judge

That reminds me of a time about 10 years back, went to McDonalds with some friends, looking at the menus we found something quick odd, the milkshakes were "suitable for vegetarians", except for the strawberry one...

Hey look....if you want to trash McRibblets have at it..BUT YOU LEAVE SCRAPPLE OUT OF THIS!!! Also, if you haven't at least given a Yoga Mat dipped in BBQ sauce a try, you have NO room to judge.

A McRib is just a flattened hot dog. Next time you eat one, remember that and you will probably want to puke.

Probably due to containing gelatin.

Like I said, I'll eat a lot of things but I draw the line at knowingly chomping down on bugs.

I ate crickets in Japan. The little spiny hairy legs stuck in my throat. It was awful. I would never eat a bug if there were other options.

I used to work at McD's...and some other food service establishments...and in food manufacturing. If you knew what all the agencies monitoring food safety/quality/contamination allowed in your food, you'd never eat again.

A simple explanation would be that some people eat enough fast food to make up for those of us who don't.

Crap, my Dad lied to me! Or someone lied to my Dad. Either way, I now must endure years of psychotherapy before I can accept my family for who they really are. Thanks a lot.

Though surely they'd use gelatin as a thickener, which would have been present in all the milkshakes? Found it odd to only be present in one of the flavours/syrups.

The red color is probably derived from bug shells, and thus, constitutes a by-product of amnimuls.
