It’s been a busy month for McDonald’s news.
First we had the (fairly major) announcement that adult Happy Meals were coming to the menu (complete with grownup toys!), and now there’s another addition that’s sending ripples across the internet.
Yep, the McRib is apparently making a comeback — but there’s a catch.
The sandwich is set to come back into wide circulation on Oct. 31, with McDonald’s stressing on their site that this will be a “farewell tour”.
“The McRib is back!” reads the description. “It starts with seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce, topped with slivered onions and dill pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun. When everything combines you have BBQ pork sandwich perfection. Get one while you can because this is the McRib Farewell Tour.”
The official press release, meanwhile, tells a slightly different story.
“Like any true farewell tour, we’re hoping this isn’t a ‘goodbye’ but a ‘see you later,’ it reads. “Because as our McRib stans have experienced time and time again: you never know when – or if – the McRib is coming back.”
Given the fact the McRib has been going on farewell tours for over 15 years now, we’re going to guess this isn’t the last we’ve seen of it.
