"BK ribs so hot they're nearly sold out
Premium promotion was a huge success, proving "new upscale" items are crucial to fast food companies

Posted by InvestorPlace on Friday, June 11, 2010 9:09 AM
Burger King (BKC) launched a bit of an unexpected campaign this summer with its barbecue pork ribs. With a price tag north of $7 for eight pieces, the ribs are an oddity in an era when many other merchants are offering up bargains for cash-strapped consumers.

Well it turns out Burger King's rib deal may wind down sooner than expected -- but perhaps not for the reason some think. Demand turned out to be so strong for the tasty barbecue items that BK has just sold its 10 millionth rib and expects to exhaust its supply this month!

This is great news for Burger King and its shareholders, and could be a further sign of a moment towards a "new upscale" in fast food where higher-priced, higher-margin items compliment traditional offerings of cheap burgers and fries."

 

Ya know, I've seen the ads for 'em and all but never worked up the ***** to try 'em.
So, I'm interested in this thread too

 

 

yeah they suck..the ribs are hella small not worth the money put that 3 to 4$ on some real ribs

 

Been in bed sick for the last few days and must have seen the commercial for these 100 times so I am also very curious what people think of them (especially cause I can only eat rice/bread/crackers for the next few days )

 

"up-scale"?

you're ****ting me right?

 

Agreed! Im firing up the smoker as we speak. St Louis spares with kinders tequila lime rub FTMFW..

 

Taste: Pretty good, a 9 out of 10
Value: Poor, they are small, not much meat, and for the price you could pick up a whole rack. A 2 out of 10

 

I thought they suked but I dod not get any bbq sauce with them? they screw you in the drive thru!

 

Dude where so you get all your kinders stuff. I hear you talk about it all the time. I have gone into two of the shops to include concord and never see the items you are talking about. I.E. the injector and the rubs.
PLEASE ENLIGHTEN.

 

There's a kinders BBQ joint over in Pacific Commons. Right off of an 880 exit in Fremont.

 

Yea I actually picked up some more Kinders rub and mild BBQ sauce at the brentwood Ace hardware! I geuss they carry it all Local ACE hardwares. As for the Cajun Injector terriaki honey sauce, the only kinders I found it at was the concord location off of HWY 4 Solano exit, right accross from Tesoro refinery. One jar last several BBQ's though.

 

Costco also carries some kinders products

 

Nothing to write home about. A nice addition to the cheddar bbq angus though.

 

To me they look gross and reminds me when McDonalds did the McRib. I personally would choose to make them over buying them from BK or any fast food place.

I get sick from most foods so I tend to rather cook my own food so I know what's in it/on it.
