In case you're too young to remember, the McRib comes with seasoned boneless pork, barbecue sauce, onions and pickles on a hoagie-style bun. The sandwich made its debut in the U.S. in the early 1980s, and asides from a brief stint in October 2019, hasn't been available nationwide since 2012. Wow!

But that's not all--the McRib release coincides with a No-Shave November promotion.
“With the nationwide return of the McRib, we’re helping fans enjoy every delectable moment by encouraging them to shave for a chance to win a free McRib," vice president of U.S. Communications David Tovar said in the release. "And we’re excited this year to partner with No-Shave November, a charity that knows a thing or two about facial hair.”
