Forsyth Mo. - The McRib is back
and is (supposedly) available at the local McDonald's in Forsyth on Hwy 160 and Coy Blvd.
For those who've never enjoyed eating one, it's 'a barbecue-flavored
pork sandwich periodically sold by the international fast food
restaurant chain McDonald's. It was first introduced to the
McDonald's menu in 1981, following test marketing the year before.
After poor sales, it was removed from the menu in 1985'. The previous
statement was taken from Wikipedia. Well, that used to be true, but
now the McRib is back
to stay! And did I run out to purchase one with fries? You bet your ass I did! (Actually, I planned to go there about noontime and will report back when I confirm that it's available.) Update: They are available!
Now, what I'm still unsure of is whether or not this iconic sandwich is really back to stay or will it remain on the 'periodic offering' page? (The article I read was unclear either way). Whatever. The thing is, my body craves one right now! Sadly, whenever the body craves something, you can be sure that it's also not a particularly nutritious item to consume... As the panel, shown below clearly illustrates, the pork sandwich has 480 calories per serving all by its lonesome. Add in a medium order of fries and you're a tad over 800! Whoa Nellie! Thar goes my diet all to hell and back!
