'Rick and Morty' Fans Are Pissed At McDonald's Over Szechuan Sauce

No, in addition to the very limited amount of stores that had it they only had 20 packets each, they also started giving them away at 2:00 PM and I wasn't able to go around that time.

They really tried hard to fuck people over with this. and now after reading that article I'm glad I looked shit up before I tried to go this morning. What a clusterfuck.
---

It was really stupid of them to deliver the hype and then only give each location 20 packets of the stuff. They should've known how awful the R&M fan base is. Especially the ones who waste their weekend to drive an hour for sauce they could've bought at walmart
---

Chick at the speaker told me they had it and I could get extra if I ordered a bunch of shit so I did and then they hand me fucking BBQ sauce like no son

Nonsense
---

i was actually wondering why there was hype about this mcdonalds sauce that likely doesnt even taste that good.

now i realize people are taking that rick and morty joke a little too far. though mcdonalds could have delivered better, lol at people waiting in line for fucking novelty sauce.

i totally forgot about that lol.

Rick and Morty fans are fucking losers if this upsets them so much

No, I tried it once and didnt like it.

I mean would you be upset if you were going to a special event with a favorite items of yours you could only get that day but then you find out for some reason they only had 20 of them in total and theres a huge crowd waiting for it but then it turns out they were giving away the items even before the official time so now theyre all gone before the event even begun.

Thats kinda shit

No, I don't think that's a thing here, but like... you can just buy that stuff at the store.
---

Nah. I didn't bother. All the locations were far and I knew they wouldn't have enough stock.
---

I had to work, didn't even try.
---

They might be fans of the show, but they certainly don't understand it if they thought it was trying to seriously sell them on that sauce.

No the whole thing is dumb

Rick and Morty is a fun show but people need to calm down with their fervor over every little meme
---

yes

a few days ago I went to the store and bought a bottle

they had plenty
---

Out of curiosity I checked out ebay, unopened sauce packets are selling for a couple hundred a piece.
---

i dont like mcdonalds. rick and morty isn't funny, the art sytle is trash
---

I'm not even in the country right now.
---

---

I actually have a jar at home, I use it when cooking stir fry. Real stuff.
---

the anti-R&M circlejerk is honestly getting just as bad as the R&M circlejerk itself.

i managed to get the promo Szechuan sauce. went and bought some mcnuggets to go with it along with a container of sweet and sour. wouldn't have enough for the 10 piece.
---

LOL

what is happening to my country
---

I like barbecue sauce when I get chicken McNuggets. McDonald's barbecue sauce isn't great, but if I get home and realize they forgot to give me barbecue sauce, I'm disappointed anyway. The barbecue sauce I have at home just isn't the same.

Basically, being able to buy szechuan sauce at the store isn't the same, but still, some of these fans are kind of scary... and good for profit, if the story about someone trading their car for one sauce packet is true o_O

I'm disappointed when I don't get my barbecue sauce, but I'm also not crazy. Not crazy for that reason, anyway ^_^;
---

I didn't try to get it.

I don't have time to get up early and stand on line just whenever.

I have to to say the argument over Rick and Morty fans causing chaos over the sauce seems a bit one sided though.

Yeah, people shouldn't have caused a disturbance over sauce.

But similarly McDonald's shouldn't have released a very limited item that was very high in demand for 1 day only.

It's like if the banks said to show up at a specific time for a limited distribution of free money and it caused a riot as people were fighting over it. Who's fault is that?

Someone was lucky enough to find a fan willing to trade a car for a sauce pack

yep

I had no interest, so no.

Most Rick and Morty fans weren't born or we're really young when McDonald's originally offered the sauce; calling it a fave item of theirs is a bit of a stretch.

Anyway, pretty sure McDonald's was just trolling the shit outta fans.

Also, the original and current sauces are nasty.

Still the people. The bank isn't doing anything wrong by offering free money. In fact they don't have to do that at all, just as McDonald's doesn't have to offer more sauce variety for their chicken testicles.

No, but I didn't try for it in the first place

The argument isn't that "the bank" is technically doing anything "wrong", it's that offering a highly demanded item in extremely limited quantities in a first come first server bases obviously causes people to fight over it. It's made even worse when the item is cheap, or free, because then even more people show up. To say you didn't think that would happen is naive at best.

You're arguing that the person who incites a mob to do something is innocent because they themselves are not a part of the mob.

I never bothered the first time the sauce was around, and I didn't bother this time around.

Have you actually watched it at all, or are you just put off by the art style?

Why are people wasting their time with this? Dumbest thing I've heard all week.
mcdonalds doesn't sell anything good (health or taste wise) so why go there?
And why stand in line for a packet of sauce that you can get in the supermarket? Better quality too
If this is real then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Your original post says "should" as in what they are obligated to do. Their duty. Just by releasing the sauce at all, this wasn't their duty. They don't have some sort of duty to fill every Rick and Morty fans need for meme sauce. And that's exactly why Rick and Morty fans are pissed - because they think of themselves as having some sort of right to this sauce because a fictional mad scientist said it was good as a joke. I agree that's why they fight because they think of McDonald's as having an obligation to give them sauces. But that is a stupid belief, and yet you give validation to it in your strained attempt to be evenhanded about this. No, McDonald's didn't have to meet all demand on this. They didn't have to meet any demand. These losers need to stop fighting and get a life.

I couldn't give a shit about shitty dipping sauce for shitty McDonalds chicken nuggets.

Neither could I, and that's not even counting a short time in my youth when I used to use a milkshake as my dip for those nuggets. Then my tastebuds finally developed, and I never touched McDonald's or the like again.

Yes, got it last month.

Nope

I jumped on the counter demanding the sauce then pulled my shirt over my head claiming I was pickle Rick and screaming "REEE!"

Then I ran out of the restaurant
---

Reeeeeeeeee. Reeeeeeeeee

It was ok. I didn't even know there was a thing going on for it. No crowd or anything around me. Just taste like sweet and sour teriyaki. To each their own.

I never said this.

I also didn't say the Rick and Morty fans are innocent. I'm not defending them. You're bringing in your hatred of Rick and Morty and/or it's fans and that's unrelated to the argument.

I'm saying McDonald's isn't innocent for the results of what was essentially a PR stunt.

You might as well be saying their behavior is OK if your argument is McDonald's had an obligation to make more sauce. I mean, you won't say that because you know it's stupid. But that's basically what you're saying anyway. McDonald's did absolutely nothing wrong.

They underestimated demand, have apologized, and have pledged to bring back the sauce.

I think the matter should be settled. It's not like McDonalds was intentionally shitting on R&M fans.
