Apparently the McRib is back. Do you think McDonalds temporally ties the revisiting of the mcrib to the monopoly game that they play? They call it a game but it has probably taken more than a couple of lives. These terrible companies are amazing at marketing if this was intended. I view the introduction of the mcrib analogous to whataburger’s long-awaited, monthly special that occurs only once per year: the honey bbq chicken strip sandwich. This special is not even that good to be honest, its just the constraint on its availability that keeps me from being able to resist. I showed up a day after they switched the monthly special from the honey bbq chicken strip sandwich to some other bullshit, and they refused to serve me what I came for. I asked them, “do you guys have chicken strips?” They replied, “Yea”. I then proceeded to ask, “Do you have buns and cheese?” I got the same reply. Then, I was nervous when I asked this question, since it is inherent that the sandwich would be worthless without this element, “.. and you guys have bbq sauce?” I got the same reply. I then asked if they could “make me a sandwich with the following ingredients.” THEY SAID NO.
