Germans have the McRib year round because pork prices are low.

They also buy enough pork when they do bring it back to bring the price of Pork up single-handedly.

It’s one of those things that every year I crave it all year, then it finally comes and I get one and I am always disappointed. Then repeat next year.

The McRib is objectively gross…which doesn’t stop me from stuffing my American face-hole with the damn things every time they’re available because despite being gross they are tasty.

They used to be a full time menu item but I guess the pork got too expensive so McDonald’s will buy pork when it’s cheap and stockpile it until they have enough to do another limited time promo with them. Been that way since somewhere in the early / mid 2000s if I remember right.

McRibs were never a full time menu item, and are seasonal at best. I suspect it more has to do with promoting customer interest during the late summer.
