Has anyone in the U.S. seen a McRib lately? If so, where?  They were popping up in my region "for a limited time only" about once a year like clockwork for several years but I haven't seen one since sometime in 2008.   
 
P.S.  When was the last time anyone saw a McRib Jr.?  This was a dollar menu item around here in summer 2000 which had a smaller round pork patty with BBQ sauce, pickles, and onions on Mcdonald's normal small hamburger bun.

Where did you find one?  Were they at all of the locations in your area or just a few?  and are they still around?

They're seasonal. I'm pretty sure the "limited time only" thing is sort of poking fun at bands who have millions of farewell tours or something, I dunno.

@PediatricUrology:  
 I know they are seasonal.  For about 6 years it was even really easy to predict WHEN they would appear as availability tracked pork belly futures pricing fairly closely.  I was just wondering if they had actually been popping up anywhere else in the past couple of years because around here they simply went "poof" and disappeared in '08.  As far as "limited time only,"  I had it in quotes because  has previously admitted in earnings reports and other business forecasts that the McRib's "fairwell tour" and "limited time only' disclaimer was marketing.

The last time I saw a McRib was when they nationally brought it back for a limited time in 2008.
