McDonalds Confirms McRib Return
Last December, McDonalds announced the “farewell tour” of the popular McRib sandwich.
Fans weren’t happy about it leaving menus, but things have changed and we should be seeing the McRib on menus once again. It was never a permanent menu item and would show up annually around Halloween time in the past and that looks to be exactly what is happening now. Mcdonald’s has confirmed to Today.com that it’s coming back after being rumored on social media for weeks.
All of the details are still a little fuzzy, but it appears that it will return to select McDonald’s locations starting in November. The McRib consists of a boneless pork patty dipped in BBQ sauce topped with slivered onions and pickles and served on a toasted homestyle bun. It has always been loved by some customers but hated by others but it’s an iconic Mickey D’s item so keep your eyes peeled for its return in your area.
Other foods that were discontinued last December include:
- Burger King Ch’King Sandwich – This one started off with rave reviews, but after just 15 months on the permanent menu, it was on its way out. Since it was quickly replaced by a line of Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, it’s probably safe to say the Ch’King won’t be returning.
- Chili’s Original Chicken Crispers – This longtime Chili’s classic, which has tempura-like batter and is different from the Crispy Chicken Crispers that are still on the menu, was met with outrage from some superfans on social media. But a lack of sales seems to be the reason they were discontinued, so it’s unlikely they’ll be back.
- Dunkin’ Veggie Egg White – This was a fast food loss that was barely missed by anyone, so there’s not much chance of Dunkin’ bringing it back anytime soon.
- Honest Tea – If you’re mourning the loss of this beverage, you’ll be glad to know Honest Tea co-creator Seth Goldman already has a new drink on the market called Just Ice Tea. The biggest difference between the two? Just Ice Tea is sweetened with Fair Trade-certified and organic agave syrup and honey, while Honest Tea was made with cane sugar.
- Klondike’s Choco Taco – These frozen treats were beloved by many and while Klondike may have been hoping no one would notice when they were discontinued, people were paying attention and took to the Internet to complain. Will they make a comeback? Rumors were swirling that Choco Tacos could return as an ice cream truck exclusive, so there’s still hope.
