McDonald's fans have same complaint after spotting major change to McRib

McDonald's fans have spotted a serious change ahead of the much-anticipated comeback of the McRib, with some even claiming things "won't be the same". The McRib is set to return to McDonald's UK menu on October 16, following nearly a decade of customer calls for its revival.

The meat patty is then added to the toppings, appearing significantly less coated in sauce than its 2014 predecessor. Fans and ex-employees have voiced their opinions in the comments section of one such video.

Meanwhile, a third disappointment fan wrote: "I was looking forward to this coming back. It won't be the same so won't bother now I've seen what you've done to the McRib!"

Comments on the sauce change were apparent throughout, as someone else said: "Sad times! Best ask for extra sauce when
