McRib Update August 24, 2012

Leave a reply

I recently received great news from Stephen (our tipster from last year) that McRib production is again under way. The timing is about one month earlier than last year, and as the McRib did not hit stores until October last year, it is within reason that a September release for the McRib is possible.

While you await the McRib’s return, please make sure to visit our 2012 McRib Excitement Poll and let us know how excited you are for the return of the McRib.

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.

McRib arrives in Australia for very Limited Time

The McRib’s world tour continues with an appearance in Australia. As part of a 2012 Olympics campaign, McDonalds Australia has decided to offer up the “Atlanta Pork McRib” to symbolize the previous Atlanta Summer Games. While this is indeed exciting news for folks “down under”, this is a very limited time opportunity, only 2 weeks!

Facebook follower Curtis D tipped us off the the availability and provides the following cell phone snapshot from a McDonalds that he visited.

While the McRib Locator map does default the focus of the map to the United States, it is certainly possible to report a sighting globally.  If you find a McRib anywhere globally, please make sure to report it on the McRib Locator so die hard fans know where they need to go to get their fix.

If you have any photos of the McRib in Australia, please share them with us by emailing photos@mcriblocator.com.
