The elusive McRib sandwich returns, complete with a side of memes

December marks the season for warm eggnog, tender Christmas carols, family time and, of course, the almighty McRib. Nearly every winter brings the reintroduction of McDonald's famed barbecue sandwich, and along with it the standard exclamations of joy, shouts of disgust and ongoing questions about the sammie's content. (Although once reported to contain a mixture of "tripe, heart and scalded stomach," a McD's rep recently confirmed it is "simple ground pork," so you can stop throwing up now.) Twitter user @DragonflyJonez said, "Putting on a tux because Im about to go buy my first McRib of the year." while @aleygabrielle tweeted, "The McRib is the epitome of what is wrong with America." Check out some of the best McRib memes above. [Source]
