In the 80s, the team behind McDonald’s food innovation had a truly unique idea: a sandwich that could be enjoyed during the colder seasons.

The McRib started as a regional favorite following its 1981 debut in Kansas City, Kansas It has since become an international sensation that has appeared in Germany, New Zealand and France.

The internet boom and emergence of social media solidified the McRib’s icon status. The love of the saucy sandwich connected fans online, and tools like the ‘McRib Locator’ allowed even more people to join the frenzy.  The hype around its annual return even gave birth to the phrase ‘McRib Season’.
