McRib Returns December 2024 with New Celebration

The McRib, McDonald’s iconic barbecue sandwich, is making a limited-time return starting December 3, with an additional offering for enthusiasts: a half-gallon jug of its signature McRib sauce. This tangy sauce, integral to the seasoned boneless pork patty topped with onions and pickles, will be available online from November 25 for $19.99. McDonald’s CMO Tariq Hassan emphasizes that the McRib is more than just a sandwich, calling it a cultural event, and the introduction of the sauce jug is part of a broader celebration termed 'McRib SZN.' The sauce's availability is limited and can only be purchased from the dedicated site, wholelottamcribsauce.com. The McRib, first introduced in the early '80s, has maintained a cult following, consistently sparking excitement and long lines upon each return. The sandwich's reappearance this year also coincides with the rollout of a festive McRib jingle, enhancing the seasonal celebration.
