McDonald's is bringing back the McRib sandwich for a limited time starting December 3, as part of a strategy to boost excitement and demand through scarcity. This approach, common in the fast-food industry, leverages the anticipation and nostalgia associated with limited-time offers to drive customer interest and sales. The McRib's periodic availability helps maintain its popularity and profitability, as keeping it on the menu year-round could lead to diminished interest.

Despite initial doubts, the McRib became a limited-time attraction and a cultural phenomenon, with a devoted fan base and numerous comebacks. McDonald's recently announced the return of the McRib to limited markets in November 2022. The sandwich's creation was made possible by the technology developed by meat scientist Roger Mandigo to bind meat pieces together.
