The McRib was Invented Because McDonalds Didn’t have Enough Chickens

One of the most distinctive fast food dishes in history is the McRib from McDonald's. It has evolved into the Bigfoot of fast food, emerging at random and only for a little period of time, enticing enthusiasts to find it while they can before it disappears once more.

Although there is not a single bone in the patty, the McRib is designed to resemble ribs. But since it is pork, it has become a cult favourite due to its rarity. Even an episode of The Simpsons parodied its attractiveness. Ironically, it only exists as a result of a lack of chicken.

As was previously established, Americans adore nuggets. They caused a chicken shortage when they first appeared on the market in the late 1970s. To keep customers happy, the McRib was created as a chicken substitute. Although it was never particularly well-liked, the pattern of its reappearance and disappearance made it attractive, and the tale developed as a result.
