The McRib Is An American Icon
The McRib is as essential to the McDonald's fast-food menu as the Big Mac and Chicken McNuggets. Created in 1981 as a limited-time item, the McDonald's McRib was first added to the McDonald's menu due to a chicken shortage. It wasn't popular at first as the fast-food chain tried to push it. But that all changed when The Flintstones hit theaters in the summer of 1994.
The boneless pork patty topped with bbq McRib sauce, tart pickles slices, and slivered onions all served on a hoagie style bun turned into a cultural phenomenon and loyal fans swarmed to McDonald's locations across the United States to get a taste of the pork sandwich. Soon after, the barbecue sauce sandwich was constantly returning as a limited-time item to hype up the fan base.
