McDonald's brings back McRib on Halloween for a 'farewell'

Oct. 28—McDonald’s is bringing back the McRib on Halloween, Oct. 31, but is calling the return of the boneless pork sandwich a “farewell tour” on Twitter.

However, a news release from the fast food giant suggests this may not really be the end.

“Like any true farewell tour, we’re hoping this isn’t a ‘goodbye’ but a ‘see you later’,” he reads. “Because as our McRib stans have experienced time and time again: you never know when — or if — the McRib is coming back.”

A stan is a mixture of a stalker and a fan, according to the Urban Dictionary, and 2022 has been a good year for fast food fandom, with the nostalgic returns of McDonald’s Halloween Pails, Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza and the upcoming revival of its Enchirito.

The McRib made its debut in the early 1980s and has been brought back as a limited time offer many times since then.

The news release didn’t offer an explanation why the sandwich might be withdrawn.

This return will be accompanied by McRib merchandise, available at goldenarchesunlimited.com beginning at 8 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, Nov. 4 at prices starting at 99 cents, the news release said.
