Good news Leedog






In 1979, McDonalds went classy, and hired the chef at Drake hotel, Chicago.  His first creation: The McNugget.  The debut was so successful that every franchise in the US wanted them.  It didn’t take long for there to be a world wide shortage of chicken.  McDonalds needed a way to temporarily soften the demand for Chicken, so they sent the chef back to the kitchen and he emerged in 1981 with The McRib.  By 1985, the world chicken supply was keeping up with demand and McDonalds discontinued the McRib.  A decade of letters and pitch forks later, McDonalds brought back the McRib in 1994 for limited time.   America went McNuts once again.  McDonalds concluded that the success was due to the novelty of limited availability and have used that model ever since.
