you’d think that, but serial murders don’t seem to have any bearing whatsoever, when it comes to christian theology. all sins are equal in the eyes of the lord, after all.
If the McRib was around all the time, nobody would care about it much. By making it come and go, McDonald’s makes an artificial scarcity and makes it seem much cooler than it is.
That said, it’s not BAD, really. I mean, it’s worth trying, and it’s probably better to do it before you’re on your deathbed. But it may or may not be worth having TWICE.
That’s not an “artificial scarcity”, in fact it’s the opposite: They offer the McRib when and where pork shoulder meat happens to be cheap. See this article: A Conspiracy of Hogs.
There is a product in the frozen food aisle that my late husband swore tasted just like a McRib. Its called On-Cor BBQ Sauce and 6 Boneless Rib Patties. Just slide it on a lightly toasted sub bun and enjoy. Of course you have to defrost all 6 at once but they keep nicely in the fridge for a few days.
What about the Shamrock Shake? Their shakes, although they don’t have milk in them and can’t be called “milkshakes”, and, in fact, I have no clue what they ARE, are delicious.

It’s not what you do that keeps you out of heaven, it’s what you don’t do.
Just sayin’.
I’m thinking that’s false. I’m thinking serial killers (for example) don’t get in to heaven, no matter what else they do.

Gotta be honest – the McRib isn’t that good.
You sir could not be more wrong.

Hmph, my link didn’t come through: http://www.theawl.com/2011/11/a-conspiracy-of-hogs-the-mcrib-as-arbitrage
Also, I have tried the McRib, and trust me: In no way will it improve, redeem, nor validate your life.
Also, brilliant title, like usual.
The first time was like 10 years now it’s out several times a year.. it’s cheap pressed pork anyways..
I always read “mortality” as “morality”. Maybe the skinny ‘t’ just escapes my eye globes. I don’t know.
Either way; the story still makes sense. 😀

The McRib is, in my opinion, the best thing McDonalds sells.
This is something like being the best Nazi: yes, it’s top of the heap, but it’s a terrible terrible heap.

Forgot the Shamrock Shake… I feel nothing but shame…
It might not even be available when you’re on your deathbed.
