Maybe McDonald’s should change its name to the Chicago Cubs, because it keeps breaking hearts left and right.
We celebrated the fact that McDonald’s was finally going forward with all-day breakfast, only to be brought back down to earth when we realized that it would be a limited menu. And then we realized that the McRib is coming back, but unfortunately, there’s yet another catch that the fast food chain has for us.
This roller coaster of emotions must be stopped! We want to get off this ride!
VIDEO: This is how McDonald’s actually makes its iconic McRib sandwich
CNBC is reporting that locations were just given the option of selling the iconic McRib sandwich, and it seems that this year a staggering amount of restaurants opted out.
In fact, the McRib is now so elusive that you probably had no idea it was back on the menu already, and that’s because so few locations are actually selling it. In fact, according to CNBC, only 8,000 of the 14,350 McDonald’s in the U.S. will sell the McRib. That’s 75 percent less than last year!
