I'm 40-something, born in the USA and never had a McRib. I've seen what McNuggets are made from so I have to wonder about these so called ribs.
Actually the McRib provides valuable nutrients and is only 500 calories and provides valuable calcium and iron. One could eat three a day and still be under recommended daily nutrition.

I just tried it. It seems a little different from what I remember. Still good.
Not very filling though.
Except for the huge amounts of salt and almost half the calories come from fat, Though there is alot of protein.
I had my first ever mcrib last night. It was average at best. I don't see how it would be any better than those packaged pork "ribs," or how its any different. Not that it matters, because it just doesn't taste that good anyway. I can pretty safely say I'll never have another mcrib
The sodium content is really the negative. It has long since been proven that the "anti-fat" brigade was misplaced. Lots of protein, not too many calories, its really not that bad.
In fact, many of McDonald's sandwiches are similar. Going to McD and getting a couple of sandwiches really isn't terrible for you. Its the fries and soda people tend to get with them that are the kickers.
As much as people scoff at the "double quarter pounder w/ a diet coke" stereotype, that person is having a healthier meal than someone getting a regular quarter pounder with regular coke.
omg! Omg! Seriously! It's going to be at every store! Happy days are here again oh happy days, oh happy days. Happy days are here again!
The incredible mcrib will be sold at all us mcdonald's stores starting in november. And for all the haters here's a nice little fact.

This is correct, especially about McD's. Of the fast food joints, they probably have the most reasonable choices available. Hell, I lost 30 lbs and was eating McD's 2-3x a day (breakfast, lunch, snack) because they were closest to my office, had variety, and had easily accessible nutrition info. 1500 cal a day was easy to do when they have a few ~300cal menu options.
Pretty much what I think.I tried it 2x since last week, and I'm not impressed.
The "rib" itself has little flavor, but it's smothered in that tangy sauce (which isn't too bad, but it's not that great, either). I think I prefer the other burgers and sandwiches McDonald's has, including the McChicken and the regular hamburger.
The McRib reminds me of the elementary school lunch Salisbury steak sandwiches that I used to eat. Except they aren't as good.
I just had 2 and they were not good at all. There was very little sauce on both sandwiches.
