The Mystery of McRib

The curious case of the McRib and its mysterious market appearance.
An amazingly detailed and strange piece from The Awl about the mystery that is the McRib. Apparently the sandwich comes on the market in amazing rhythm with hog prices:"What makes the McRib different from this everyday horror is that a) McDonald’s is huge to the point that it’s more useful to think of it as a company trading in commodities than it is to think of it as a chain of restaurants b) it is made of pork, which makes it a unique product in the QSR world and c) it is only available sometimes, but refuses to go away entirely."
