RICK & MORTY
[Source: ToonZone] Have we just witnessed the
first-ever successful campaign by a cartoon to bring back a fast food
product? When is McDonalds Szechuan Sauce coming back, and for how long?
As revealed during the
Rick & Morty Season 3 premiere on April Fool’s Day, Rick is
apathetic toward most things and existence in general. But if there’s
one thing within this cold universe he’s passionate about, it’s the
Szechuan sauce that came with McNuggets to promote the movie Mulan in
the summer of 1998.
Just as Season 3 of Rick
& Morty wrapped up, McDonalds finally announced the return of
Szechuan Sauce — sort of. The promotion is being couched inside another
promotion for a new kind of chicken tenders with buttermilk batter, and
Szechuan is just one of nine sauces from the past McD’s is resurrecting
for one day.
Yup….just one day. The
promotion will begin at 2 PM nationwide at selected branches and
continue until supplies run out. It is likely they Szechuan will run out
first and the employees will have to keep telling people “no, but we
have these other eight sauces” endlessly until their shifts end. So if
you’re curious why this kind of sauce would make Rick drool so much, be
sure to get there early.
McDonalds seems be going
out of its way to pretend Rick Sanchez had nothing to do with this, but
it’s pretty obvious. Last month, the company sent out three jars of
Szechuan to fans who won a special contest — said contest took place the
night Rick & Morty started running new episodes. A tub was also
sent to R&M co-creator Justin Roiland.
To find out which McDs outlets are taking part in the promotion, use this website.
The site is for the entire chicken campaign, but they know what you
came for. The restaurants that have Szechuan have been specifically
marked, and no other sauce was given the privilege.
