Szechuan Sauce Returns To McDonalds, Fans Celebrate Their Finds

By Kofi Outlaw - March 31, 2022 04:15 pm EDT

Szechuan Sauce is back at Mcdonald's, and fans are happy about it (as you will see below). McDonald's made the official announcement in a post that reads "it's Szechuan Sauce day comment szechuan and i'll tell u which packet u are". Szechuan Sauce has become a hot commodity at the fast-food chain once again, largely due to an episode of Rick and Morty that made a hilarious bit about the sauce being discontinued (the Season 3 premiere in 2017).

Since Rick and Morty spurred outrageous demand for it, McDonald's has periodically trotted the Szechuan sauce back out for big promotional pushes (4 times in 24 years) – this being the latest.

Rick and Morty forever deserves its due for bringing McDonald's Szechaun Sauce back. Respect.

We cannot confirm it, but it's a mad dash out there to get this sauce, bruh.

They Don't Got It

Welp, ordered on the app and got no Szechuan Sauce. Said they didn’t have the truck in. That was the only reason I went today :/ #oof

Looks like supply isn't keeping up with demand in all McDonald's markets...

Been Here Before

What? McDonalds brought back Szechuan sauce, for a single day, only to not ship enough cases to meet demand? This has literally never happened before I am shocked. completely shocked and appalled. Utterly taken aback. Truly confused as to how this could happen. https://t.co/QMh32un2PB

Let's not pretend we haven't been here before, folks...

Hell Never Runs Out

Hell has an unlimited supply of Szechuan sauce.

We could start an entirely separate list of how many complaints about the McDonald's App there are on Szechuan Sauce Day.

You could arguably say that about any McDonald's sauce. Not like this is Chic-fil-A...
