Limited McRib Distribution... Our First Victory.

I read with some joy that the McRib is finally in "limited distribution". And apparently, hasn't "rolled out nationally since 2011 — mostly due to consumer preferences." So, consumer tastes have finally caught up with the reality that the McRib is a vile creation and bastardization of traditional barbeque. Can I get an "Amen!"

McRib Pork Patty Surprise Ingredient

McRib Pork Patty

Do you like the McRib?. Do you know what's in the pork patty? Lets take a look.

*Ingredients: Pork, water, salt, dextrose, preservatives (BHA, propyl gallate, citric acid).

What is the propyl gallate in the McRib Patty?

Stop Killing my Kids states:

"Propyl Gallate can cause allergic reactions in the form of an asthma attack in some people. It can also cause stomach and skin irritation, liver damage, kidney damage and has the potential to increase your chances of having cancer.Animal testing has proven that the likelihood of contracting cancer increased; however, due to the conditions of the study itself, scientists state that it cannot, in any degree of certainty, be stated that Propyl Gallate causes cancer."

And is it common for a food additive to have an MSDS? Well, propyl gallate has one here.

"Potential Acute Health Effects:
Hazardous in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation."

McRib Returns with a Quest for the Golden McRib

Quest for the Golden McRib

So, this most vile creation now has a "Quest"? Gimme a break, same old pork pattie with sauce and pickles. Don't fall for this abomination. I think it's time to plan a McRib Retirement Party or McRib Funeral. Anyone want to help? And I can assure you.. my dreams DO NOT dream about this. Virtually hidden in each McDonald's.. .that's a good thing because then, you don't actually come in contact with this "sandwhich".

Don't forget to sign the petition to retire the McRib

The McRib is back for 2010

The McRib is back for a limited time in 2010. And that's a good thing! We don't want this foul excuse for a bbq sandwich around for too long. I say: Retire the McRib once and for all.

McRib has arisen, again!

After three "Farewell Tours"... the McRib, a foul, fast food creation, has again been foisted upon unsuspecting customers. Banish the McRib forever. It's is sacrilege against the real barbeque deities and authentic, slow-smoked, flavorful racks of ribs. Real ribs have bones not patty formations designed to emulate them.

McDonald's McRib Farewell Number 3

The fast food atrocity has returned! Sign the petition to have it retired permanently.
I like pickles, onions and barbeque sauce but, NOT with pork! If you've ever visited North Carolina and Texas to eat true barbeque you know:

1. There is no sweet thick sauce in North Carolina barbeque
2. There are bones in real ribs

2) There is no pork in Texas barbeque.


How long must the "farewell tour" last? McDonald's dump the McRib once and for all!
