Color me puzzled over the hoopla regarding the return of the McRib, but this Yahoo News story does give me these two Quotations of the Day:
Why is it so popular? An excellent article from Sharon Bernstein quotes one Brian Goodman, 27, of Grand Forks, N.D., talking about his devotion to the sandwich: "I am a huge fan of the McRib, and I am glad to have it back," he said. "I just happen to find this really gross, deformed pork patty to be delicious."
Mmmmmm ... deformity ...
McDonald's spokeswoman Tara Hayes told AFP that the McRib's limited availability "helps to keep fans passionate about the product." Only a sandwich "so delicious, so special, so elusive, and so legendary could create such a widespread affection among its fans," Hayes said. ...
It must take a special kind of person to be a spokesperson and not want to kill yourself on a daily basis.

Which is better, a McRib or the original Arby's?
That is a toughie. It's been so long since I've had either.
But, given my two-summer stint at Arby's and the emotional scarring that goes along with that (I have mentioned the "food-grade phosphates" speech we were supposed to memorize, right?), I've got to with the McRib.
Wow, you lasted two summers at Arbys? Gordon last two weeks at McDonalds when he was 16. He has worked for the federal government ever since! "_
I don't think I ever had a food-grade phosphates sandwich, although the current Arby's isn't bad.
I don't think there are any on L.I. anymore.
They did switch to actual roast beef some years later, after Roy Rogers rode through.
