Get ready, America: the McRib is back-big time! But does it qualify as a legend?
We've already told you that the nationwide McRib-ing begins tomorrow. We even taste-tested it. And by December 5, not even Santa Claus will be able to order one of the bewitching sandwiches, with its (somewhat disconcerting) patty of boneless pork molded to look like its eponymous "rib."
In the meantime, we're sure that for someone, somewhere, the McRib is going to be the main course for Thanksgiving this year. And if you're just that crazy about the McRib, then why not go whole hog and enter McDonald's "The Legends of McRib" contest?
As Advertising Age reports, "McDonald's is encouraging fans to submit their own stories of the McRib's legend, which don't necessarily need to be true, or even possible." Sci-fi meets the pork sandwich? Can we get Joss Whedon on this one?
The chain has come up with the perfect grand prize. (No, not a visit to that mysterious farm where the pigs don't have bones.) It's an all-expense-paid trip to McRib paradise: Germany, the only country in the world where the McRib is on the menu all day, every day, year round.
Berlin, the best Wurst in the world, and a McRib fix -- go figure.
