We’ve always shared our favorite vending machine discoveries from here at Monitor headquarters, and this may be the best one yet – it’s a sandwich very much in the shape of the fabled McDonald’s McRib, which has developed something of a cult following among food bloggers (and probably emergency room attendants).
But whereas McDonald’s leaves more to the imagination, this thing subscribes fully to the “truth in advertising” maxim – which may not be a good idea if the goal is to make you want to eat it.
First off, can we talk about the name for a second? Big AZ? If that means what we think it means – that this is one big az sandwich – kudos to the marketing department for slipping that one past the censoring mucky mucks.
But the real page, and potential stomach, turner here is the description. It’s a BBQ rack-o-ribs, according to the title, but if you look closely, the fine print on the label describes it as a “pork rib shaped patty sandwich.” Maybe it’s just us, but it seems like a nondescript, not-necessarily-meat patty sandwich could really be made of anything. It may me modeled after pork ribs (we would have loved to see that modeling session), but you may be eating recycled tires for all you know. Big az tires, though. Of course, that’s assuming anyone would actually eat this. We passed, for the record.
