McDonald's is getting saucy with the seasonal return of the McRib
The news that so many McDonald's fans have been waiting for is here. The McRib is back again. Starting on December 3, customers will once again be able to enjoy the iconic McRib sandwich for a limited time. And if you have been eagerly anticipating this year's release, there is so much more to enjoy than normal.
Much like in year's past, the McDonald's McRib features a pork patty that looks like a mini rack of ribs that is coated in a tangy barbecue sauce. The patty can be found on a sandwich roll with pickles and onions for added zip. But what makes this year's release so special is the fact that McDonald's is going all out for the holiday season with the sauce.
What does that mean? Well if you love the sauce that comes on the McRib sandwich, you can now buy an entire jug of the sauce for yourself! It's the kind of offering we never thought we would get from McDonald's, but that we are absolutely here for.
McDonald's is selling jugs of the McRib sauce to go along with this year's limited time release
According to the press release from McDonald's, their "A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce," will launch online starting on November 25 for just $19.99 each. This will be a limited release, much like the McRib itself. And these jugs will only be available while supplies last.
So if you are looking for a more unique gift for McDonald's fans and they love the McRib sandwich, then this iconic jug of sauce might be the way to go. As the Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, Tariq Hassan, had to say, "The McRib is more than a sandwich – it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event. McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce."
There is no denying that releasing a limited edition jug of McRib sauce is definitely an event in and of itself. And we love that McDonald's embraces our love of this iconic sandwich in unique ways every year.
This is definitely one for the books in terms of keeping things interesting and we can't wait to see how people react to a jug of McRib sauce.
