My wife LOVES them. I hate them. Back story -
I worked at McD's while in HS in the early 80s.
My 2 or 3 night schedule was almost always as
a closer, and I would get stuck having to do cleanup
and dishes. The stainless warming trays that they
kept the McRibs in were always the biggest PITA to
clean. I hated the sticky sauce, and was also not a
fan of onions and pickles on my BBQ sando.
HOWEVER - we would improvise things a little on occasion
to create things of our own. We were making Grand Macs and
dbl 1/4 w cheese years before they ever hit the menu. That
preformed pork patty used in the McRib made a great sando
when you put it on a regular bun with mayo instead of the
disgusting sauce, a slice of tomato, lettuce and cheese.
