It's just not the same. McDonald's does whatever incredible cooking and spices to the rib that make it out of this world good. They must use only the finest hand picked tastiest parts of the pig which is why it's so rare. It takes them a year or longer to feed and select only the top quality hogs for this ambrosia.

And then then they run them through a wood chipper, add some thickeners, and mold them into the desired shape.

Bleh.

These things are so disgusting. I tried one for the first time in years after at hype and didn't even finish it, it was that bad.

For someone who is in-shape, they are also a terrifically balanced meal for individuals looking for a athlete diet. The percentages of the three big categories are almost perfectly aligned with the suggested ratios for athletes and performance training (running, swimming, weight-lifting, etc).

Eat one of those and it will only complement the rest of the diet - and theoretically, one could have one sandwich for three meals (and all performance trainers understand there are about 5-6 meals a day, btw). You still want to get some equally-weighted nutrition from other sources, but pork fat is a highly desirable fat, and the bread has some good carbs but you will want more carbohydrate choices for other meals.

It's actually a perfect meal following training.
I might have to get me one of these to eat after a run one of these days.

Oh that's just not fair - I have to wait three weeks? Booo!

Oh, and you just know this was decided to encourage people to get a McRib before/after they go to vote.

Runner's high followed by McRib high and you might just collapse from a orgasmic joyful endorphin rush.

AM/PM gas stations have these for less than 1/2 the price. Sometimes I'll grab one and scarf it down while I'm waiting for the gas pump to finish. It might not taste exactly the same, but it's close enough and less than 2 bucks. So it's a win in my book. They also have the Nacho cheese pump there, adding a few pumps of Nacho cheese makes it taste gooooood.
