The Brett Favre of fast food sandwiches, the McRib debuted in 1981, retired in 1985, unretired in 1994, retired again in 2005, re-unretired for a short spell in 2007, did the same in 2008, and most recently reared it’s ugly head on November 2nd. McDonald’s has described the sandwich as hearty, fulfilling, tangy, and sticky. While I’ll give them “sticky,” I think they left out “horrifying”.
