My McRib verdict...it really IS like eating a Dr. Scholl's insert smothered in corn syrup BBQ sauce.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Read a review of the "spongy" texture of the meat in the McRib and how it was like eating a Dr. Scholl's insert. There's also been a lot of negative press about the sauce and how it is high fructose corn syrup in overdrive with a vinegar chaser.

But it's $2.50 and probably tastes better than an actual Dr. Scholl's insert, so I give it a 4.5 on a ten scale. The next time I'm hungry and only have $2.50 on me, I might be back at the McDonald's drive through window. I can only imagine what parts of Porky got pressed into the rib-shaped patty and consider myself better off for not knowing.

11. Thanks for the heads-up - I may need to put a package in the freezer for

comfort-food emergencies.

Of course, you'd better bar your doors and check under the car for bombs, once the McDs minions find out you've spilled the beans... :scared:

5. When they come back, I always get one

In Germany it's a standard menu item, or at least it was in 1992 and before.

These are MUCH better with bier, even though the only bier the Berlin McDonalds had (Leben ist nicht nur Doner-Kebap und Currywurst, ja? Amerikanische Scheisselebensmittel is auch gut.) was canned Berliner Kindl, which is NOT the finest example of the German beermaker's art.

13. It is mechanically separated pig meat,

formed to look like "ribs" and slathered with "barbecue" sauce.



They're not bad, considering... I had one for lunch twice last week. :P
