I’m sure we all have fond memories of McDonald’s from when we were children. Y’know, before the age of Super Size Me and well, before we knew better. I have a rather strict “No McDonald’s” rule these days (well, I might have a McNugget or two if there isn’t anything else around) but I had to break it this week in the name of nostalgia. I’m sure if you’re around my age, then you’ve probably had a few McRib sandwiches back in elementary school…a sandwich that has inspired an entire episode of The Simpsons. I’m sure the damn things are so incredibly bad for you and probably contains “various meats” that probably aren’t pork but hey, four bucks to relive memories of when you were 11 isn’t a bad deal. Can’t always eat $60 hamburgers.
In case you don’t know, the McRib is a “pork” patty slathered in barbecue sauce and stuck in a sort of hoagie bun. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still pretty tasty but I remember it being slightly different but I’m guessing stuff that happened 15 years ago always seems a bit fuzzy and seemingly better.
Anyone else remember the McRib, which is only available for…well, I don’t know but they say it’s a “limited time”.

I don’t think the McNuggets are as good as they first were either. I remember them being much better than they are now.
I just don’t get to McDonald’s much anymore anyway.
Having two kids I get the request to visit McD’s on a regular basis, although we certainly limit that indulgence.
When they bring the McRib – or should I say the McDontAskJustShutUpAndEatItBecauseYouDontReallyWantToKnowWhatItIs – back for the “limited times”, I’ll usually have one just to say I did.
My weakness with McD’s is the sausage egg mcmuffin. If they ever made that available all day, I would be in trouble.
The McRibbed reminds me of the sandwich I had back in elementary school…:/

I remember the first time I had the McRib was back when they did the Flintstones promo. When the live action movie came out, they had those Flintstone McDonald t-shirts, along with the McRib. McRib from then was awsome. I think it had more sauce.
Hurray for the McMystery Meat!
I wasn’t really all that into the McRib at the time, but I remember my brother and I pigging out on 59 cent cheeseburgers. So gross.
After the Tops Super Burger, that thing looks like a dinner roll.
