Szechuan sauce salt - Rick and Morty nerds are pissed

[BB 876]

I'm on mobile and my phone is dying but I'm surprised this thread hasn't popped up.

Mcdonalds announced they were running a special promo on October 7th for their new chicken tenders and szechuan sauce was included in the deal. The one caveat being the supply was going to be extremely limited.

Rick and Morty fans missed this memo and are pissed, with a few going full retard and demanding legal action (see attached image).

I don't see this thread lasting too long, but the wounds are still fresh. Dig in!

On their website it tells you all locations that were doing it and if they have the swezwan or just limited posters there too.

The one closest to me didn't have swezwan sauce but the website did say they had the posters.

....but they hadn't even received the posters. It seems like a handful of places that were supposed to get stuff didn't.

So that'd be a reasonable thing to get upset about.

But whining about some sauce that you didn't get because you were to lazy to look more into it? That's just exceptional.

Let memes stay dreams, people.

It probably isn't that much different than high school cafeteria sauce they put on their chinese chicken

This is one of the pettiest things I've seen people get mad about. They have the nerve to make this a hashtag: #SzechuanGate

Spoiler

Stop spending time sperging out on the internet by flipping off Mcdonalds and posting dumb gifs.
Instead, make your own fucking Szechuan sauce you lazy autists.

Incredibly, this is an entirely different incident, revolving around limited distribution rather than racism. It's amazing how the same meme from the same show can drum up so many tantrums.

Would've been smarter to post it in that thread regardless.
It's still relevant

Eh, thread's locked. Effort.

I had unlimited pot stickers at TGI Fridays today and they wouldn't stop giving me dipping cups of szechaun sauce so I ended up throwing them all away. Ironic that it just so happens on the day people start losing their shit at McDonald's over a cartoon for autists.

I just wish they'd bring back actual honey for McNuggets. I loved that as a kid.

What a waste! Imagine the money you could've made selling that shit on e-bay!

On one hand, I really wanted to try out that sauce, (Since I never really tasted it before in the past and I fucked up on remembering to get it in the first place). But on the other hand, I feel as though people are overreacting a bit.

It isn't overreacting when it's autism.

Heh, my town had two locations that offered it, and unfortunately since I do my usual gig elsewhere yesterday I couldn't be at that particular McD's anyway. I didn't even think about it (as I ate at BK anyway).

....but they hadn't even received the posters. It seems like a handful of places that were supposed to get stuff didn't.

So that'd be a reasonable thing to get upset about.

There's always a collector's item we miss out on. I would think a poster commemorating said event would be worth it in the long run.

But whining about some sause that you didn't get because you were to lazy to look more into it? That's just sad.

It is. People don't grow up.

Good for you!

I bet that got pricey for them to afford.

What a waste! Imagine the money you could've made selling that shit on e-bay!

There's always a sucker born every minute!

It's soy sauce flavored high fructose corn syrup, vinegar, and preservatives. You're not missing anything other than joining in with spergs that think running around and screaming "wubba wubba dub dub" is funny.

Just buy a bottle of the stuff in the grocery store. It'll set you back three to five bucks and then you can put it on anything you want.

 

[Optimus Prime]

honestly this can all be solved by just putting that shit back on the regular menu.

The 24-hour McDonalds down the street from me was supposed to be one of the ones with the sauce, and I was hungry last night, so I decided, "Fuck it, I'll swing over there and see what's up." So I go into the drive-thru, order the chicken tender things, and ask whether they've got the szechuan sauce. There's a few seconds of silence, then, "We don't sell... check... wan sauce. And we're out of tenders for the night."

At that point I knew that this was going to be a complete clusterfuck if the employees at one of the stores featured on their website did not even know what szhecuan sauce was, much less that they were supposed to have it in about twelve hours. McDonalds was intensely stupid to try to organize a campaign involving precise timing and tight supplies, then leave it up to minimum-wagers to actually implement it. I'm certain the poor assholes who had the misfortune of working today did not give one fuck about a random nerd's desperate need for chicken sauce, were not told how to deal with the abrupt crowds, and had a godawful day being screamed at by aspies.

 

[Power Armor]

i'm gonna be honest, i was thrown into a serious loop trying to figure out what the fuck Rick and Morty had to do with szechuan sauce.

 

[Oglooger]

Are you telling me that there are people paying top dollar for a shitty sauce because it was in their pretentious cartoon?
I missed out on a good meal ticket, fug.
