Once again, we all have the opportunity to bite into this digusting piece of processed whatever, I'm getting lazy but I will NEVER want one of these things.
I stumbled onto the second ad, you suck, Mickey D's. Angry

No! And how does the term "slab of heaven" sound appetizing? 

Another note about McDonalds and their ads, enough with that "I'm Lovin' It" Justin Timberlake jingle at the end. They've been using that since...I don't know, 8, 9 years? It feels like forever.  Always has to fit the "theme" of the commercial. African American eating some fake rib sandwich, mix it with some R&B music...end it with a slow sexy "Lovin It" jingle. Silliness!

MMMmmm... ground-up hooves and snouts slathered in cheap, 55-gallon-drum BBQ sauce and a pickle slice or two.

It has onions, too! I think. I only eat filet mignon-fed lobster and cake with edible gold slivers, of course. Disapprove

^  I think I'd find it most insulting that they have the audacity to shape all that into some facsimile of real ribs.  But people buy this stuff, so I guess it's all OK with them.

Even if I were remotely interested in the McRib, I'd be in no hurry to try it. The scare factor of it disappearing has long lost its effect when it's come back like clockwork every year.

I don't think they're EVER going to get a new slogan (at least not in my lifetime). Human nature seems to be such that once a definitely low has been reached, people seldom crawl out of it.

Mcdonalds puts 9 billion pickle slices a day on burgers and sandwiches... using TONGS. Yeah, sorry. Some kid is using his fingers, I'm afraid.
As far as the jalapeno nonsense. It just pisses me off to no end when they do crap like this. It's obvious that through surveys and focus groups and whatever else they use that the jalapeno is a popular item right now (like they were just discovered in a field in Oaxaca or something).

Maybe it's their version of Christmas fruitcake.  No reason to buy it, except for the fact that it's unavailable most of the year.

Seriously, do people get excited about these fake ribs?  I'm not a fan of ribs, so I certainly can't understand the attraction to these molded slabs of ground whatever.

I get the frozen "rib" sandwiches at the Dollar Tree once in awhile.

They're actually pretty damned tasty!!!

And only a buck apiece!!!

Something like that.

I like these from Walmart...



Pretty decent for 2 bucks apiece.

These, also from Walmart, are pretty good too...



About $4.50 per box of two burgers.

Also pretty good.

Rather than microwave them, I heat the patties in the toaster oven after the tater tots are done. Then, after they're back on the bun, I nuke them for about 20 - 30 seconds to warm & soften up the bread.

I remember when they debuted around 1980. Many friends were raving about them so I had to try one and never had another. I didn't know they were ever discontinue until reading this thread.

Maybe it's just my personal taste, but who puts pickles on pork? That's the biggest turn off to me about these "things"

really? I love pork with pickles...then again I sort of pickle pork before cooking it anyway (the marinade I use has a fair amount of vinegar)

Local barbeque restaurant has pulled pork sandwiches with a bucketload of briny pickles slapped on top. Heavenly.

Pickles on pork is fine, but I don't think they go with the sweet barbeque sauce they drench those things in.

I like pork sans barbecue sauce better anyway.

I like the occasional pickle by it's self but usually pick them off of sandwiches.

I'm with you. Dry rub is the best.

I like pulled pork sandwiches.

Mustard & pickle is fine.

Maybe some tomato slices.
