Do you ever wonder if your favorite discontinued item will ever make a comeback? It can be quite upsetting when a franchise takes away something that you love and you never get to experience it again. But every once in a while, these beloved items do make a grand return. And now, it seems like McDonald's might just be doing that.
In a recent turn of events, the fast food giant 'accidentally' teased the return of one of their previous fan-favorites. People are buzzing with excitement, thinking that this item might be making a comeback. It all started when users of the McDonald's app received a notification with the word 'McRib' on it. Naturally, this got people very excited. But when they clicked on the notification, they were taken to a web page with a 404 error screen. Fans, however, believe that this was a deliberate move by McDonald's to announce the return of the burger.
Their belief was further strengthened when the text below the screen stated: 'There is definitely currently no reason for this page to not exist. Probably.' It seemed like a clever marketing tactic to get people talking about the McRib's return. The burger, which consists of a pork patty smothered in Western BBQ sauce, along with pickles and onions, first made its debut in 1981. It had a good run, but sadly, it was discontinued after just four years. It was last seen in the UK in 2014, but its popularity has remained so high that it even has its own website dedicated to locating branches of McDonald's where it has recently been spotted.
Over the years, the McRib has come and gone, and fans are hopeful that it might soon be back again. The users who received the notification couldn't contain their excitement. One person wrote on Twitter, "YES!!!!!!!! The McRib is coming back!!!! Thanks whoever accidentally sent the McDs test notification you've made my day!!" Others also took to social media to express their excitement or craving for the McRib, while some were skeptical and wondered if it was a genuine mistake or just a clever marketing ploy.
So, is the McRib actually making a comeback? We reached out to the McDonald's press office, but as expected, they were tight-lipped about it. A spokesperson for the company stated, "McDonald's is always looking to innovate with new and exciting menu items, as well as bringing back the fan favorites. Stay tuned for more info." So, it seems like we'll just have to wait and see.
