I recently received a newsletter from a friend in the know (thanks Stephen!) highlighting the production of the McRib patty at Lopez Foods (see earlier related post). The highlights are that in 25 days of production, over 8 MILLION pounds of McRib patties were produced! The newsletter also offers a glimpse into the McRib production as there are images offered from within the facility. In contrast, McDonalds sells 9 MILLION pounds of french fries PER DAY (src: http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/student_zone/FAQs.html)


Below is the redacted newsletter (last names of employees have been redacted).

Showing that they are in for the long haul, a McDonalds in the LA area stepped up their advertising from a simple sheet of paper to a more formal ad (note I spliced together the two images I was sent to show off the full ad):

Notice that the promotion runs through February 15, 2012 OR while supplies last.

This leaves one to wonder how many McRibs this store actually ordered, or if their sales were that far off for some reason. I can tell you with certainty, if this promotion was running in my neighborhood, the McRibs would run out well in advance of Feb 15. For now, all I have is Californian Dreamin, although hopefully not a crazed dream like this one I found.

If you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo of your receipt showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed. As the McRib has mostly gone back into hibernation, your help is needed in these increasingly desperate McRib times.

Found this crazed McRib fan’s video that I thought was worth sharing:
