Would you pay $5000 for a jug of McRib Sauce?

This is an update to the story we first published here. The McRib is back and the half-gallon jug of McRib sauce has sold out! That was quick.

There are people trying to sell it as high as $5000 on ebay. Worth it? We don’t think so!

According to a mashed.com article on how to duplicate the recipe, Hunts Original Barbecue Sauce or Bull’s Eye Sweet & Tangy get it pretty close.
