McDonald's brings back iconic menu item for its ‘Farewell Tour’

McDonald’s has made a slew of very popular additions to its menu in the last couple of weeks: first the company made many grown-up fans’ dreams come true by offering adult Happy Meals, followed by returning its beloved Halloween pails for a limited time only, and then making McCrispy a permanent chicken sandwich on the menu. This month, the brand is also testing a collab with Krispy Kreme, by selling their donuts at some of its stores.

Now, in even more exciting news, McDonald’s is going to be bringing back a fan favourite item for a limited time only. As reported by People, McRib is being brought back by the company and it will be available for fans only until 20 November 2022.
