‘Rick and Morty’ Fans Are Upset That McDonald’s Is out of Szechuan Sauce

Rick and Morty solidified its place as a pop-culture phenomenon by doing the near-impossible: swaying the almighty hand of McDonald’s!

One crazy running gag in the Rick and Morty season 3 premiere had to do with Rick re-visiting his own memory, with a detour to a local McDonald’s for some of the Szechaun sauce the fast-food chain released in promotion of Disney’s Mulan, back in 1998. At the end of the episode, Rick goes on a rant about his ambition to get his hands on some that “Mulan McNugget sauce,” a sentiment that fans echoed all throughout season 3’s run.

Well, McDonald’s brought back the Szechaun sauce for a 1-day limited run, but eager fans have depleted the supplies with lighting speed, leading to all kinds of upset consumers, and eBay bidding wars. Check how upset some Rick and Morty fans actually are about not getting that sweet Mulan sauce…

McDonald’s is trying to put a fan-friendly spin on why its locations can no longer provided the Szechaun sauce as advertised: 

The Distraught

Sound the Alarm

Rick and Morty fans are starting to sound the alarm of disappointment. By the long of things, it’s a wave that has some surge under it:

The Revolt

Some people are ready to revolt over the denial of the their beloved Szechuan sauce: 

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:

Some McDonald’s patrons simply don’t want to deal with all this Szechaun Sauce malarkey: 

Young Victims

While some fans were just ‘seeking the sauce’ out of a sense of fun and/or novelty, there were some generally heartbroken by the disappointment:

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: 

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.
