I’ve never watched Rick and Morty, never had the sauce, and sure as fuck wasn’t going to 30 miles to get it. But it’s kind of silly people keep using this as a chance to shit in Rick and Morty fans as if lining up for dumb “limited” shit is anywhere near exclusive to them.

It isn't readily available, they brought it back after a 20 year hiatus buuuuut it's possible to make or so I have read.

Szechuan sauce is a thing that exists independently of McDonald’s. This is just their specific recipe.

That may be, but the legit stuff has to come from McDonalds or its not the same. If a genius like Rick Sanchez went to McDonalds in the cartoon to get his fix instead of making it himself like you would imagine a genius would be capable of doing, then fans of the show probably won't believe they can make it perfectly at home.

 

[Makai]

Shit is wild, people going crazy over a readily available condiment because a cartoon told them too lol

I've read recipes for real Sichuan sauce and there's no way this tastes the same.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Wow this is crazy. I enjoy the show but nowhere near this level of intensity.

Maybe if it were widely available in every store for like a month I'd take some time to check it out but not when I have to struggle like this.

This is the only thing that could get people excited about mcdonalds. They're going to milk it.

Line outside mcdonalds.

Now I've fucking seen it all.

The real winners are regular rick and morty fans. Now when someone starts talking about how they are smart because they “really get the show” you can say “oh you mean that mcdonalds cartoon?”

Yes excuse me I am incorrect, on that front. Regardless 30 packs per store for their recipe is a bit low, it's seemed to have made some people's daily run to mcdonalds experience less cathartic.

 

[Persona7]

I thought the whole "smart" meme was ironic due to the general idiocy of the fan base?

 

[Risible]

P.T. Barnum knew what the fuck was up, let me tell you.

[ManDudeChild]

I went to McDonalds today and they had none. Of course, I expected this as I am in Canada, but you would THINK one in the middle of downtown Vancouver would have at least got SOME of the sauce.

 

[Korey]

I wonder if McDonalds is legally allowed to bring this out again to coincide with the new Mulan movie without Disney's permission?

 

[Not]

Congratulations on your new hundreds of dollars

 

[infinit777]

I don't know if it has been said in this thread but i saw 4 of these on an ebay posting go for $600 fucking ridiculous. a container of the sauce, the ones they gave away a month or two ago was going for around $16,000

 

[holygeesus]

How did this work logistically? i.e. if I just wanted a Big Mac was there a separate queue?

Popular enough to start a fight in Berkeley.

I feel like you can start a fight in Berkley over just aboout everything, really

some part of GAF really hates R&M, or at least the fandom. I hate every fandom, so I can somewhat relate I guess

 

[LumpOfCole]

It didn’t work, but it didn’t need to because each location only got 20 packets. There was neither precedence nor expectation by anyone working at McDonalds that there would be 15 block lines for 20 packets of sauce. The last time MdDonalds saw anything even remotely like this was when those mini Beanie Babies were Happy Meal items back in the 90s.

I am certainly glad I didn’t try to go to a McDonalds to try and get this sauce. It has been way more fun to watch the madness from afar.

 

[jstripes]

McDonalds up here had 67¢ burgers for a day a few months ago to celebrate 50 years in Canada, and there were substantial lines. But, at least you were getting something.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wonder if the botching has them reconsidering bringing it back in a more timed manner. They made the whole Sriracha Mac sauce to get more millennials into the store and it looks like all they need to actually do for such traffic is just have this sauce more available.

 

[friskykillface]

Must spend $30 to get some szeccccchhhhhuan would be easy money because people now want it to flip x try

McDonald's would be idiots to let this slip away

 

[snap]

How did this work logistically? i.e. if I just wanted a Big Mac was there a separate queue?

the way it worked at mine (where they didn't have the sauce but did everything else) was they handed out tickets ahead of time, and then when the time came they lined everyone up in-order at a register. Anyone coming in not for the event was directed to one of the touchscreen kiosks.

Maybe it's just my general uneasiness about mobs of people, but there's something scary about 1000 adults yelling & getting angry about Szechuan goo. Even if nothing violent happened, this really teetered the line.

Getting that worked up over condiments. Guess you could say they felt...margarine-lized.

This was another good one

Percentage-wise how many of the dudes who queued up for Szechuan Sauce made fun of girls going out for the unicorn frapps

Where is the video of one of these protestors taking his shirt off and saying he doesn't even like the sauce and was just doing it for the lolz?

FYI: We had nothing to do with this McDonald's stuff. Not happy w/how this was handled. Please be cool to the employees it's not their fault

Damn....I wonder how much harassment the employees are getting if he actually had to tweet it out

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Damn, people got really heated over a sauce packet.

Imagine only being paid $7.25 an hour to have a army of morbidly obese, deodorant-less nerds in Minecraft/Walking Dead mashup shirts swarmed around you screaming “WE WANT SAUCE”

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Not sure why it's so hard for a multibillion dollar company to make more than a handful of fucking packets of sauce.

They like showing off they have jugs of it though.

Not that it matters to me. I live in Canada. We're lucky enough to get Ketchup.

Also bunch of losers angry about sauce.

 

[Whoyouare]

Is it any good?


Side note: I’ve never heard of Rick and Morty before. I’m an old 36 year old.

 

[Makai]

It is good

 

[Buckle]

If Rick told people to jump in a silly episode ending rant would people in real life ask how high. This seems really stupid.

Still need to confirm that Justin Roiland got a bunch of Nintendo shit that he asked for onscreen during season two before we can truly confirm his godlike powers.

 

[Whoyouare]

It is good

$600 or 3 hours in line good?

 

[BBWCongaLine]

Oh my god! I can't believe this is happening. I know people may really be upset about not getting the sauce and all, but goddammit I'm in tears from laughing so hard.

Like

This is one of the dumbest things I will ever remember. "Yo, remember when that show made a big deal about some nugget sauce, and folks went rioting in the streets?" I can't keep defending humanity when shit like this comes about.

It's probably nasty af too!

lol and people shit on me earlier in the thread for acting "superior" when I said I wasn't going to bother anymore because I didn't want to wait on line with these kinds of dudes.

 

[Hierophant]

go to your local Asian grocery store you dumbfucks, I guarantee there's like fifty bottles of the stuff at like $4 a pop

 

[Haloid1177]

I wait in line for Star Wars stuff like three times a year for various things. My friend wanted to do this. Had to draw a line. Looks like I made the right decision.
