McDonald’s recently gave fans of the McRib a reason to look forward to November. On Twitter, the company announced that the sandwich will return to McDonald’s menus starting Nov. 1.
Referencing a popular meme, McDonald’s posted a message that started with a blank caption that was followed by a caption of McDonald’s saying, "i think it’s time to bring the McRib back 11.1."
The day before, McDonald’s prepared fans for the reveal by posting, "Turn on your notifications for the most important announcement tomorrow."
The McRib has built up a dedicated following amongst McDonald’s customers. While the sandwich may be considered an iconic part of McDonald’s history, it traditionally only appears as a temporary or seasonal item on the restaurant’s menu.
