Interestingly the McRib is a decent indicator because it does in fact have some economic weight behind it.
McDonald’s only triggers a McRib release when the price of pork (especially hog/pork shoulder) falls below a certain threshold, making the margin acceptable.

Yeah, just don't eat that garbage if you got any self respect
Good to know. I prefer not to eat pork, if I can help it. In China, I saw open trucks with pig carcasses piled high, stopping at the restaurants at night. It was just such a gross sight, I can't stop the memory from coming up when I see pork.

There was a conspiracy theory that the McRib is actually human flesh, because it was reintroduced around the same time that all of those homeless people vanished from the West Coast never to be seen again.
After Covid I can understand people believing these kind of Little Shop of Horrors scenarios.
The McRib is the signal
McBullish.

I ate a McRib once but it hurt my stomach and then I had to take a big Liz Warren 😱💩
Be careful out there…..
LMFAO
Droppin’ knowledge
Could you imagine if we see mcbrisket? In a world where all restaurants are McDonalds or tacobell...
When they need to layoff folks they trigger the bill run so that some employees quit
Funny that you can buy a McRib all the time in Germany. It’s a classic not a special thing 🤯
Insider trading at McDonalds or precursor of higher liquidity hitting the market?
I knew a guy that was in charge of new menu items for McDonald’s corporate. He explained how hard it was for them to add things to the menu. Whatever they would add took a tremendous increase in the supply chain or it would cause massive price spikes due to the volume they purchased
