Avid fans of the illusive McRib sandwich are sure to rejoice over news that it will be returning next month, but the brand is looking to satisfy fans even further with the launch of the McDonald's A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce. The brand is offering fans the chance to pick up a half-gallon jug of the sandwich's signature sauce, which will be available exclusively online via a special website for $19.99 starting November 25, while supplies last. The sauce comes in a large jug that's festively branded with a label that will call to mind Christmas sweater patterns, which thus positions the product as a seasonally appropriate offering.
