Rumor has it that the McRib sandwich is still available at some McDonald’s locations. Not only that, a recent Wall Street Journal article implies the pork patty sandwich is returning for a brief run:
“The sandwich’s elusiveness has created a fan base of people who go to considerable lengths to munch on a McRib. Ryan Dixon of Burbank, Calif., once drove 10 hours to Medford, Ore., after hearing a McDonald’s there was selling the sandwich.
“It has a ghostly quality,” says Mr. Dixon, a 30-year-old graphic novelist. “You don’t know when it will appear. It’s the girl who you are in love with who has always been a tease to you.”
On Nov. 2, for the first time in 16 years, McDonald’s Corp. will offer the McRib at outlets across the U.S., but even then, only for six weeks or so. “It doesn’t sell well all year long because people get tired of it,” says McDonald’s USA President Jan Fields.”
