McShitheads donated a large amount of money to the morons in the white house, I haven’t been there all year. They can shove the Mcrib up their collective asses sideways.
Where do you think they’re coming from in the first place?
McDonalds also supports Israel and the IOF
Fascism, they’re lovin’ it
If I could go there less than never I would. Fuckers.
McDonald’s is proof of the susceptibility of most people to propaganda. I don’t understand how anyone can still eat anything there. It’s not good, it’s overpriced, it makes you feel like shit, and you’re hungry again 2 hours later. The nostalgia factor is definitely real because once a year or so someone will suggest getting it and I’ll think, hey I used to like it, and then every single time it’s incredibly subpar food that usually isn’t even made well because the staff hates their life. Stop fucking buying McDonald’s, Jesus.
Idk, it’s better than Hesburger and those were the only real fast food options till KFC and Burger King came here around 5 years ago. Sometimes you just want something you can eat quickly in the comfort of your car and drive on.
The real crime is how expensive it is compared to 5 or 10 years ago. It’s no longer significantly cheaper than a meal at a sit down restaurant.
Earlobe meat. Such a random description, but it makes complete sense.
I read a tweet once that said that Burger King’s chicken nuggets tasted like “deer ankles.”
Another apt comparison.It’s funny because earlobes are, like, all gristle.
I’m hoping it’s random, but this is Lemmy. Guy might really eat earlobe meat. Whole point here might be why buy a mcrib when you can grab an earlobe off a homeless drunk guy under a bridge?
The McRib is proof that enough barbecue sauce can make anything delicious. If you get a bite that isn’t swimming in sauce it’s much worse.
I actually like the school lunch/prison food version of the same thing. I’m not gonna pay like 7 dollars for it or whenever mc Donald’s is up to now but there is something about it’s unique horrible-ness that gets me.
The prevailing theory is that McDonald’s brings the McRib back whenever pork futures are down, because it maximizes profit. That is usually seasonal- in the early autumn, when grilling season is over.
And why Germany, which has low pork prices, has the McRib year round
In fact from what I’ve picked up over the years it’s kind of a meme in finance to declare “The price of X follows the return of the McRib!” when really both X and the McRib are just driven by the same larger economic factors and not by each other.
I tried exactly one and it wasn’t even bad, but there was literally nothing interesting about it.
Man, I went to a mac Donald’s today since maybe years. Everything’s smaller and pricier! Why’d anyone eat there instead of a regular restaurant

(Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children’s browsing history and they’d rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)

No, that’s not why Imgur is blocked by your nanny state.
I would 100% try earlobe meat.
It’s not bad.
30 years ago the McRib was amazing. They used to take the pork patty and baste it in this stick sweet bbq glue sauce. When you ordered one, they’d fish one out of the basting dish with tongs and slap it into a dressed bun and serve it in a bag. You ate it in the bag because it was just so sloppy.
These days they just dress the thing like a burger - patty on, squirt of BBQ sauce on top of the patty. There is hardly any mess to it and it’s basically just a pork burger. The experience of eating it and the lack of sauce makes it feel so bland.
Back then (I worked there briefly back then) you still understood that if you dwelt on the texture or taste too long, it’d start to ruin the whole thing, so you mentally checked out while you ate it. The pickles helped, they would load it with dill pickles. Last time I had one it was so plain, the yoga mat/foam extruded texture was on full display, I threw it away after a few bites.
Finally I stopped eating McD’s entirely, I’m not going to pay through the nose for food that’s killing me anyway. Once a month the fry craving hits and I just ride it out, it passes fast. I’m not kidding. I’m in recovery from meth and alcohol, and these hyper-processed food cravings hit the same way drug cravings do.
Obligatory:
Thank you for this.
My friend showed up with a mcrib the other day saying it’s been forever and the advertising got him. Took a few bites then said basically this and asked if i wanted it. For free it wasn’t bad but yea agree
The pickles onion and barbeque sauce are nicely balanced and crunchy though
I liked them with lettuce and tomato way back when. Haven’t eaten at mcds since the whole thing with potus tho and dont plan on changing that for the rest of forever
