"The Szechuan sauce is a re-release from 19 years ago when Mulan came out. I never expected to see Mulan come up on Toku Da Ne."

"What?! America is on the brink of rioting over Szechuan sauce?! A two-liter bottle sold for 1.6 million yen (US$14,000)?! And a little one got 50,000 yen (US$444)...."
prevnextThe Aftermath
It wasn't just the Japanese who took notice of the outcry about the Szechuan Sauce shortage, however. McDonald's noticed it as well and, just a day after enraging fans of both Rick and Morty and the popular sauce, the fast food chain acknowledged that they hadn't been properly prepared for the demand and were going to make it up to fans. McDonald's announced that they would be bringing the sauce back again, this time making sure that anyone who wanted the sauce could get it by offering it at more locations and in not quite as limited a fashion.
You spoke. We’ve listened. Lots more #SzechuanSauce and locations. Details soon. And that’s the wayyy the news goes! pic.twitter.com/ooIrbZBsOw

While specific details about when and how McDonald's plans to bring the sauce back haven't been released, hopefully this time it won't end up on Japanese morning news.
