McDonald's McRib fans are counting down the days until November 1 after the fast-food giant announced the pending return of the popular sandwich.
McDonald's made the news official tweeting out, "nobody: . me: i think it's time to bring the McRib back 11.1." Per USA Today, "Last year was the first time since 2012 that the sandwich was available nationwide. In October 2019, it was available for a limited run."
Even though the announcement was subtle, the reaction to it certainly was not. Here are some notable responses to the return of the McRib, from fans to even other fast-food brands.
UNO was pumped about the news.
Meanwhile, Arby's opted to throw some MAJOR shade.
Larry The Cable Guy had jokes!
One fan is already preparing for...well...the worst?
Slightly related, so is McDonald's UK.
Other fans decide to shamelessly proclaim their love for the McRib (and other guilty pleasure foods.)
Some fans took the McRib news as an opportunity for an impromptu therapy moment.
Some got Biblical in response to the McRib news...
...while others prepared to kiss their diet goodbye.
Of course, some weren't happy about the McRib news, like Snack Wrap enthusiasts.
And then there was this fan that decided to come up with a pretty brilliant idea.
At the end of it all, most people seemed pretty pumped about the return of the McRib.
