Despite this, Alan Klein, creator of the McRib Locator, will continue to keep up his self-made website that reports and tracks McRib sightings. In 2009, Klein decided to take matters into his own hands and create the McRib Locator, a website where anyone can report when they see the McRib available at a McDonald’s and share where it was spotted. Klein’s McRib Locator has outlasted McDonald’s official version, which didn’t last much longer than the McRib did on the menu that year.
