Hell of Your Own Making
As some fans point out, McDonald's is just messing up its own opportunity, while also making life hell for its employees:
@mcdonalds was gifted a phenomenon of pop culture and squandered it by letting thousands of people walk away empty handed. #SzechuanSauce

Nintendo's Fault
We're not sure how this makes sense, but one fan used the McDonald's incident as a perfect opportunity to throw shade at McDonald's:
Went to @mcdonalds for #szechuansauce was told they got only 10 packets they were gone Who's doing their supply logistics @NintendoAmerica ?

prevnextThe one I went to said they only got 40 packs. Gave out tix @ 11am and didn't tell anyone. It's the NES classic all over again. But w/sauce

F*%k You, Jerry
At the end of the day, sh*t rolls down hill, and it doesn't get any more "down hill" than Jerry.
