I really can't eat McDonalds hamburgers.. they only have the pickles and ketchup and are flavorless gross thingys.. McRib, oth.. =P

Originally Posted By Shooba >>But... but... the McDLT kept the hot side hot and the cold side cold with those specially made hot and cold packages!<< Now there was one of the more pointless promotions in McDonald's history. I always found that the exposed meat patty ended up being luke warm in the end. Plus those burgers never managed to stay together when you ate them. Then there was the McDonalds Pizzas. "We spent seven years coming up with the best pizza imaginable". Uh-huh, and it took the public seven minutes to discover their pizza was awful. The McRib is fine, but nothing special. I think Subway uses similiar pieces of "meat" on their sandwiches. The McLobster appeared here briefly, and I had it once. I was impressed with the quality and quantity of lobster. I wouldn't mind seeing those be permanent. And no discussion on McDonalds is complete without paying tribute to the McGriddle, the most delicious and most heart-stopping creating to come out of McDonalds kitchen.

Is that supposed to be meat of some kind? The sauce was flavorless. The pickle was bland. The only thing that had taste was the onions.

Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 I remember the McRib being yummy. I haven't had anything other than a McGriddle from McDs in years though. I had two McGriddles last year when our McDs finally got them. Our McDs has fried chicken I believe.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling I haven't ever tried a McGriddle but I have a friend at work that luuhuhuhuuuves them. lol. I had a McRib for lunch. I decided to just order it regular. Onions and everything. I guess my tastes have changed over time because I actually really liked the onions. And goodgirl - I hope you don't give up on the McRib. I agree with MomofPrincess - they must've messed yours up. I bet they forgot the sauce. The sauce is *key*! KEY, I tell ya! LOL

Originally Posted By DisneyJen057 I just ate a McRib, yummy! I also had one Friday on my lunch hour with a couple people at work.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling So I drove myself to McDonalds the other day to treat myself to a McRib for lunch. The voice said, "I'm sorry. We don't have those anymore." *sniff* *sniff* Sad day in dumplingland. Goodbye, McRib. Goodbye.
