"no reasonable consumer could expect the McRib to contain rib meat." πŸ™„

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I assumed they used the worst cast off trimming bits from ribs, which would technically still be ribs.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I assumed there was some rib meat in it, even though it was obviously it wasn't just a cut of rib meat. To call it the McRib and have no rib meat seems pretty clearly wrong.

I mean, I'm surprised to learn it contains pork.

So just to be clear...is McDonald's saying that no reasonable person would think their hamburger is beef? Their chicken nuggets are chicken?

What a horrible thing to do to pork. Is there such a thing as a culinary crime against humanity?

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The pigs have more of a beef about what's in a McRib than humans do.

Trump will intervene and pardon Tim Burger for his crimes, of that I am certain.

what's next? Happy Meals that are made by sad teenagers and ate by kids angry that their sister's toy is better?

That sandwich always looked nasty and suspect to me. I happen to agree with McDonalds on this one: US District Judge April Perry in McDonald's hometown of Chicago called it premature ​to accept the company's argument that no reasonable consumer could expect the McRib to contain rib meat.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait you agree that no one would think the McRib has some rib meat in it?

Why call it the McRib then?

Its named because it looks like a mini rack of ribs with bones, in a sandwich. You know you cannot eat bones, right? Yet, there they are. Do you think it has bones too?

I thought i bought exploited dead animal, but in reallity it was another exploited dead animal.

[–] taco@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Different parts of the same animal. Try to keep up.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

the natives use every part of the animal
