McDonald's Is Bringing Back Szechuan Sauce Again After Fans Freaked Out
On Saturday, McDonald's brought back a nostalgic favorite-but so many fans rushed to get it, many of them were left disappointed. But after fans cried foul on social media, they'll get a second chance at the stuff this winter.
The chain's Szechuan Dipping Sauce, which was originally sold as part of a Mulan promotion in 1998, got a second wind thanks to the show Rick and Morty, which featured the sauce in a recent episode. "I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty," Rick says in the episode. "That's my series arc, Morty! If it takes nine seasons!"
A fan frenzy ensued, with fans trying desperately to get their hands on the stuff. A packet of the stuff was going for $99,000 on eBay, and then McDonald's gave away three giant bottles to lucky fans on Twitter. (Naturally, one of those bottles sold for $15,000, to DJ Deadmau5.)
