118 new emojis have been revealed, which will be coming to your phones sometime this spring. The additions include a phoenix, a lime and a brown mushroom and a broken chain.

Today is the day that McDonald’s brings back the McRib.

The McRib was last seen in a Canadian McDonald’s in 2014, but ever since its departure, many have been begging to bring back.

Fun fact for those that didn’t know — the meat in the McRib was invented by a professor at the University of Nebraska in 1972 when they worked on a process to make restructured meats. It’s basically “small pieces of meat together in different shapes using salt and mechanical action.”
