A bunch of things My high school cafeteria sold them so there's the nostalgia factor. And I like the sauce (especially as you can dip your fries in it). Plus, it's a change from the usual fast food sandwich.

I'm just going to throw this out here - There are better options than a McRib.

Still nothing in New England. (which makes me simultaneously happy and upset). I was able to snag one in Wisconsin when I went there over Thanksgiving. So I have that going for me which is nice.
If you are in WI, Kwik Trip sells a BBQ Riblet sandwich. I actually think it tastes better, there's a bit of "char" on them, and they aren't sopping with bbq sauce. Their "fixins" bar has pickles, bbq sauce, onions, etc as well. Also, not available in New England, so this too makes me simultaneously happy and sad.

Cheaper should not be a factor. I would say the McRib appeals to those without access to quality barbeque. That rules out most of the Southeast, with the exception of Eastern North Carolina where barbeque is ruined by the inclusion of massive amounts of vinegar.

No McRibs in California this winter. Oh, well.

I have no qualms about eating fast food, being a frequent customer of taco bell late at night, but the McRib never appealed to me.
