Please Explain the McRib Cult Following

McDonald's' McRib sandwich is back... again, but do you really think it's that tasty?

I think the McRib is McNasty. There, I said it. Feel free to comment in protest. The sandwich comes back to every so often and people get excited about it. I needed to understand the hype so I bought one and couldn’t get myself to even finish half of it. The boneless barbecue ground pork sandwich is shaped like ribs and comes on a bun with onions and pickles.

Perhaps I’m a BBQ snob from living in states like Mississippi and Tennessee where pulled pork sandwiches are a staple. Since I can’t understand the cult following around the McRib, I’m asking you all to explain it to me.

Tell us in comments what you think about the McRib. Is it McNasty or McTasty?
