      It was… well, better than I expected… I’m blogging about it tomorrow. LOL

    So what’s the verdict? People on the mainland treat that like the holy grail, some driving for miles to get one.

      I know! What’s the fascination! I thought it was OK. But I wouldn’t drive miles for one.

    For years, I read and heard people rave about the McRibb
    Last week, at the Ala Moana McDonalds, decided to see what all the fuss was about.
    In a word : overrated.
    That was the first and last time I’ll ever have a McRib.
    Vastly underwhelming,
    Pickles and bar- b- que sauce???
    Too sweet
    can’t taste the pork
    Bucket List item # 589 completed

      Vastly underwhelming — nicely said. I didn’t have very high expectations, especially after reading all the media reports about what it’s made from, etc. So I was pleasantly surprised. Meaning, it wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated.

    it’s just one of those things. I have to eat one every time the re-release them, but, objectively, they’re pretty horrible. when they first came out i was in school in oregon. i remember, on multiple occasions, walking close to a mile, in snow at night, to get one because McD’s was the only thing open late at night near campus.

      Whoa. Walking a mile in the snow at night. Were my parents there, too? They seem to do that all the time. LOL 🙂

    oh my! Did you know what was in it before you tried it?

    I saw the list of ingredients and vowed never to taste one. :/

      LOL. Well, I took two bites and I lived! 😛
