Finally, a serious question about the 2nd McRib I had for dinner tonight.

[islandman]

When is it too much of a good thing?

Discuss.

 

[Tryharder62]

I know but they entice you with the second sandwich for a buck. What are you going to do?

 

[GinaeEvans]

When? Before the first one.

 

[islandman]

When? Before the first one.

How can it be a good thing if I don't have any?

 

[lovetoread]

There is nothing wrong with the second mcrib.

Though Mona might stage an intervention.

I don't think she likes them.

 

[neci]

just take an extra baby asprin.

 

[GinaeEvans]

How can it be a good thing if I don't have any?

Because it's a good thing if you don't have any.

 

[islandman]

Because it's a good thing if you don't have any.

Non-linear thinking is incorrect.

There is nothing wrong with the second mcrib.

I don't think she likes them.

I'm done with living my life according to Mona's rules.

 

[Tryharder62]

Find a friend to share the second sandwich. Cheap date and you both smell like barbeque and onion if you kiss.

 

[GinaeEvans]

Non-linear thinking is incorrect.

It's not because I think a couple of McRibs will kill you or is overly unhealthy or blah blah... I just don't think any of that stuff tastes good.

So, in my honest opinion, it's a good thing if you don't have any at all.

 

[lovetoread]

And fuck you iman.

I now want a mcrib.

When was it ever a good thing?

At face value, the sandwich contains just pork, onions, and pickle slices slathered in barbecue sauce and laid out on a bun. But the truth is, there are roughly 70 ingredients. The bun alone contains 34, says TIME's *******. In addition to chemicals like ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80, the most egregious may be azodicarbonamide — "a flour-bleaching agent most commonly used in the manufactur[ing] of foamed plastics like gym mats and the soles of shoes." According to McDonald's own ingredient list, the bun also includes calcium sulfate and ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, among other chemicals.

This Question presumes the McRib is a "good thing".

I think we need to clear that up before Discussing the Question of 1 or 2.

The McRib: A History
The McRib was released for the first time in 1981. As always, necessity was the mother of invention. The Chicken McNugget had been introduced in 1979, and McNuggets were selling so fast that McDonald's couldn't get hold of enough chickens to handle the demand. So to take some of the chicken pressure off, they developed the McRib, which incidentally is made of pork shoulder, not ribs, but who am I kidding? You know it's not really ribs, and you don't care.

Anyway, the McRib was a hit, and they've kept it a hit by creating a PR cycle all about yearning and scarcity. Their publicity action plan works really well. I'm psyched about having my semi-annual McRib for lunch today. In fact, a bunch of us here at the office are piling into a cab and heading to our nearest McRib-peddling McDonald's, just to say we did. And to eat some tasty, limited-time-only pork.

[Adre]

I've heard of it, but never have had the pleasure. What am I missing?

 

[Adre]

And fuck you iman.

I now want a mcrib.

Fuck you too. I now want to lick your chest.

 

[islandman]

I've heard of it, but never have had the pleasure. What am I missing?

Not a thing.

Just more for me.

 

[KyleW]

Disgusting

 

[islandman]

Disgusting

As usual you have nothing to contribute.

 

[lovetoread]

Fuck you too. I now want to lick your chest.

Oh I don't think I taste as good as a mcrib.

 

[KyleW]

As usual you have nothing to contribute.

I contributed that you and the mcrib are disgusting.

 

[SkAoUt]

I'm judging you hard son. *squints*

 

[MidgetClown]

I know but they entice you with the second sandwich for a buck. What are you going to do?

Tryharder62 caused us to come up with this dilemma.

What are we going to do now?

 

[islandman]

I contributed that you and the mcrib are disgusting.

I can't do anything funny with this. Thanks again for nothing.

That's the mistake I've made before, and I always regret it. Must get more disciplined in my old age! (I should probably stop eating McEverything while I'm at it, but first things first.)

 

[Disgustipated]

The sandwich (no matter what it's made of) is fucking delicious.
