That's right, the McRib is back at McDonald's. Hate it or "love it" the pork patty bbq sandwich is back on the menu for a limited time-- six weeks to be exact. As our country swells not by population, but rather in size (as measured by BMI) so too does the fast food industry. Despite the known health issues of dining at your local McDonalds or Burger King, many of us frequent such establishments. Some cite the convenience and speed of service as their reasoning while others just admit that they enjoy a succulent BigMac Meal. But even if you don't enjoy fast food dining, you may want to take a serious thought about buying some shares in MCD.
So keep an eye on the Golden Arches this week, perhaps the long awaited return of the McRib could "Super Size" stock price.
The following article describes McRib lovers... "legions of McDonald's fans await Tuesdays nationwide return of the McRib sandwich, a pressed pork patty sandwich with no ribs, 26 grams of fat and a committed cult following."
