History

Historical Context

McDonald's launched the restructured pork McRib in 1981 after late-1970s test markets, then withdrew it in 1985 and revived it as an annual limited-time promotion, selling 30 million units in 2007. The sandwich’s seasonal hype, reinforced by a 4.8 % sales lift in 2010, has inspired snack makers to roll out experience-driven, short-run products.
