McDonald's confirms legendary burger is returning to menu after 10 years

Guess which Maccies item is back, back again?

There's some huge news for Maccies lovers all over the nation - yes, it's finally happening.

One of the most beloved burgers ever made by the American fast-food chain will make its triumphant return later this month, amid relentless calls for it to be brought back.

It's one for the 80s kids, as it took the world by storm a few decades ago, and since its introduction in 1981, some fans have tracked its rare appearances in chains worldwide.

But it's finally time.

Let's stop beating around the bush - brace yourselves McDonald's fans, because it's time to re-introduce the one and only McRib, almost a decade after its last appearance in the UK.

We all remember its tender pork patty, shaped like ribs and smothered in BBQ sauce, accompanied with onions, pickles and a toasted bun. Getting very hungry just thinking about it.

It was originally discontinued in 1985, though it has made several returns in the years since, though it was last sold in chains back in 2015.

Now, nine years on, you'll be able to get your hands on the tasty pork burger on its own for £4.49, or for £6.19, you can get it as part of a medium extra value meal, and it will be available for a limited time from 16 October.

The Head of Menu at McDonald's UK, Thomas O'Neill, said: “It is more than just a sandwich, it’s a phenomenon. We have heard our fans loud and clear – the fan petitions and pleas on social - and after almost a decade of anticipation, we are thrilled to bring back this iconic menu item.

“Knowing how well-loved the McRib is, we had very little choice - we had to make it happen. It was time to step up and satisfy the cravings of McRib enthusiasts across the country,” he boldly stated.

The news comes after some drama started among those with the McDonald's app, who got odd messages hinting to the return of the McRib.

Fans shared screenshots on social media as they were sent a message on their phone screen, which said: "McRib_Test.notification_16.10.24 [TEST]".

Other users claimed to see an error image notification in the app, alone with the McRib name and the launch date of 16 October.

It's huge news, and it comes after the chain's move last month to introduce the limited edition Grimace Shake, which like the McRib, comes on a first-come, first-served basis.

The purple shakes sold out across the UK in days, as they were available from August 28 to September 3, only.
