McDonald’s McRib fans are counting down the days until November 1 after the fast-food giant announced the pending return of the popular sandwich.

McDonald’s made the news official tweeting out, “nobody: . me: i think it’s time to bring the McRib back 11.1.” Per USA Today, “Last year was the first time since 2012 that the sandwich was available nationwide. In October 2019, it was available for a limited run.”

Even though the announcement was subtle, the reaction to it certainly was not. Here are some notable responses to the return of the McRib, from fans to even other fast-food brands.

• UNO was pumped about the news.

  sorry, we just hallucinated. WHAT?!

• Meanwhile, Arby's opted to throw some MAJOR shade.

  Also nobody: I prefer a restructured pork patty that looks like a miniature rack of ribs instead of actual cuts of hickory smoked country style rib in Arby's new Real Country Style Rib Sandwich. Available now. pic.twitter.com/8PKqvQNDUb

• Larry The Cable Guy had jokes!

  McDonald's is bringing back the McRib for the sandwich’s 40th anniversary. I still have one under my driver seat from their first anniversary.

• One fan is already preparing for...well...the worst?

  The McRib is coming back on Nov 1.
  
  Please do a welfare check on me on Nov 2.

• Slightly related, so is McDonald's UK.

  Hi <customer>, we have no plans to bring the McRib back to the U.K., but will try and think of a way to ruin the @mcdonalds social media manager’s day soon.

• Other fans decide to shamelessly proclaim their love for the McRib (and other guilty pleasure foods.)

• Some fans took the McRib news as an opportunity for an impromptu therapy moment.

  The McRib is back. I have a recurring dream where I compete to create a replacement and all I can come up with is the McTunamelt. Even dream me is a disappointment.

• Some got Biblical in response to the McRib news...

  Jesus is a lot like the McRib. He was here for a limited time only and people freaked out when he came back.

• ...while others prepared to kiss their diet goodbye.

  Me: excited to continue this healthy and sustainable diet
