People will eat considerably more than 500 calories in a meal and it's OK, but put it in the form of a sandwich sold by McDonald's and it's evil incarnate. Completely irrational.

Got the results of a blood test which included cholesterol readings last week- 126 total & 56 LDL. I celebrated with a double McRib (my own creation of two patties with 1 bun). ^

Only 6 weeks? :td: :D

It's $2.99 here in New York. Does that conform with everyone else's price point? :confused:

Sandwich -- $1.99
Meal -- $3.99

the clerk botched a value meal for me.
Here the meal is $4.49
a second sandwich is $1.00
sandwich alone is $2.79

Even though it seems $2.99 is a higher price point, it's cheap relative to Big Macs and Fromage Royale's, which go from $4-5 a sandwich here.

Pretty sure it was $2.79 in the VA suburbs of DC.

ive gone 30 years without one and will continue this streak. i eat some fast food that im sure isnt good for you, but i draw the line at a mcrib.

Already had two. Good value here in Durham too, a mere $4.89 for the meal. Why does it come with pickles though?

At JFK T4 the Mcrib is $3.49 for the sandwich And $6.99 for the meal.

Ribwich YUMMY

OK, I tried one and I hope I never get invited to share a meal with any of you that ^ the McRib. One bite and I tossed it. It was perhaps the most vile piece of "food" I've ever tasted, and I've eaten some interesting things over the years.

A gelatinous, vaguely really bad hot dog taste covered in a mixture of synthetic jam with ketchup. At least the pickes appeared natural.

Never again.

Soylent Beige came to mind.

UUUUUCKKKKK

Why does Chik Fil A put pickles on their chicken sandwich?
Why do grits exist?

There are some questions you don't just ask.

You forgot to mention that it was pressed into the shape of ribs with fake grill marks.
What ever it was you ate sounds delish!

Only the coffee, please
 
That is all I'll order. Even my dear daughter won't touch the McRib. MD puts sugar in their meat. Gross!
