Szechuan Sauce is Back for One Day

Trolling
Never said that. Youre more than welcome to eat and like anything you want. Including food that is really bad tasting to me and food proven to be really bad for your health.

EDIT: And also apparently bad for everyone elses also: http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/27/health/fast-food-antibiotics-grades/index.html

You say that everyone can eat what they want, then in your next sentence tell everyone how bad it tastes and how terrible it is for you. Then link a story about how it's going to kill you. Make up your mind, do you care about what other people eat or not?

Nooooooo. The article linked is about antibiotics in fast food meat. STOP putting words in people's mouths. Consider this your last warning.
 
So.... what are the chances of getting that Indy Double Whopper again? That thing was delicious...
 
Should meat be eaten every day? No.

Says you and a corrupt medical/nutrional establishment. Gotta sell those cholesterol lowering pills and all that "heart healthy" wheat bread with all kinds of processed crap in it and tons of carbs.
 
I love me some McD's breakfast from time to time.

But would I ever argue that pretty much their entire menu is likely the lowest quality, chemical-laden "food" as (barely) humanly possible? Hell no!

I know it will make people talk shit since I mention San Francisco, but I used to live off fast food as a teen and young adult. Moving out here, you have to go wayyy out of your way to even find fast food, been so much more healthy ever since since I eat it maybe a handful of times a year.
 
MaGee, MS population 4-5k which no one ever heard of is on the list. (Actually they have it listed as McGee)
Brandon, Pearl, and Clinton are all within 30 miles of each other near Jackson.
Guess I am headed to Memphis.

Wow, nothing in Seattle, but the trashy surrounding areas have it.

Actually, this makes sense.
 
Beaverton is going to have some. Not sure if I want to try and get some and flip it or not. It's probably a waste of my time to even go.
 
5 days after all this panic and frenzy...the sauce comes back full time everywhere.

The thing you have to realise with R&M is that some episodes are not written for pure comedy some are there to fuck you up on occasion.

I am serious. It tastes like shit to me and its not great for your health either. I dont eat at fast food restaurants anymore (havent since ~2004). I rarely eat out because most places just arent that great for the money you spend. I do enjoy some really good restaurants but I save that mostly for special occasions.
Well, I can't argue that, I don't eat fast food either, and feel disgusting afterwards, but the during, the during is enjoyable
 
There is nothing wrong with McDonalds.

Should it be eaten every day? No. Should meat be eaten every day? No.

But it tastes good, so we eat it.

I have to question your taste in food good sir.

their chicken mc nuggets are some ground up chicken products stamped into one of 4 shapes. Remember boot, forget the other 3 shapes. Their hamburgers have no flavor.

Everyone is entitled to bad taste in stuff so if you enjoy that shit you go right ahead. People like you keep the lines at places I enjoy eating a tad shorter because you aren't there.

It is important to note that not all of the listed locations on the website will have THE sauce - most of those listed have the other sauces (for the fellow above, Hot Mustard is one of the other sauces they're bringing back) d and/or the posters. Hell, there are only like...2-3 locations in my state from the map utility that say Szechuan! It may be easier for me to actually go to a neighboring state to find it. It is insane of McD's to make things so rare - at least have the sauce at every location that has the posters.

Even the posters though... I assume most people going are those who want the Szechuan Rick And Morty poster. If they're only making 1000 of them (of each type) nationwide, then the amount any particular location has is going to be miniscule, right? I mean, I don't ever eat at McD because of their ingredients, but I'd consider a trip to pick up the poster and sauce for the collectible nature. I hope there is going to be some protocol for people lining up and whatnot (time to arrive and start a place in line), because this is going to be an ebay catastrophe with such limited quantities. It would have been much better with 1000 posters at each location or whatnot at least. Ultimately, I don't see any reason why after this McD's (who is struggling to remain relevant in some ways) won't bring back all the sauces that are in demand, but I imagine the posters will always be limited.

Edit: Holy shit...terms and conditions make it worse than I thought. Here is the one for the posters..

"During the Offer Period, visit a participating McDonald’s location and purchase a 4, 6 or 10-piece Buttermilk Crispy Tenders. The exact McDonald’s locations participating in the Offer, and the quantity of McDonald’s locations participating in the Offer will be determined by McDonald’s, in their sole discretion. For a list of participating locations, visit www.buttermilkcrispytenders.com. The first (10) individuals to purchase a 4, 6 or 10-piece Buttermilk Crispy Tenders will receive their choice (subject to availability) of one (1) custom-numbered McDonald’s Buttermilk Crispy Tender screen printed sauce poster, while supplies last. Each participating location will have (1) poster of each of the ten (10) McDonald’s sauces, including: (i) Honey; (ii) Honey mustard; (iii) Hot Mustard; (iv) Szechuan; (v) Sweet and Sour; (vi) BBQ; (vii) Sriracha Mac Sauce; (viii) Signature Sauce; (ix) Ranch; and (x) Buffalo. Approximate Retail Value “ARV” of each screen printed sauce poster: $15.00. The next twenty (20) individuals to purchase a 4, 6 or 10-piece BCT product at each participating McDonald’s location during the Offer Period will each receive one (1) Be Our Guest (BOG) coupon card that may be redeemed for one (1) free Buttermilk Crispy Tender 4, 6 or 10-piece item, while supplies last. McDonald’s determination as to the order of participants to purchase a 4, 6 or 10-piece Buttermilk Crispy Tenders will be final. Limit one (1) offer item per person and per household for the entire Offer Period."

THAT is only ONE SZECHUAN POSTER PER LOCATION!

Compare this to the one for the sauce itself (if your're lucky enough to be in a participating location that has the actual sauce..

"uring the Offer Period, visit a participating McDonald’s location and purchase a 4, 6 or 10-piece Buttermilk Crispy Tenders.

Limit one (1) offer item per person and per household for the entire Offer Period."

So the first 100 people get the actual Szechuan Sauce if in a Szechuan location..

Unbelievable... especially for the poster, I can't see the reason to stand in line considering that the very first person is likely to the be only one with the Szechuan poster, and the next 9 will pick up the rest

this is just a way to help sells. People are talking about this sauce because of a joke on a show. Now they can do some limited run and even if for a day get people like you who never go there to come buy stuff in an attempt to get one of the special run sauces. Few people will wait in line, ask if they have the sauce then walk out if the answer is no. So even at places that don't have anything they will still see an increase in sales that day
 
Good luck getting any sauce or posters. eBay is already full of them. It looks like the employees are taking and selling them. I would wager that most places will be "sold out" before it ever starts.
 
Well... it sounds like this went over about as well as many of us expected. People going into McDonalds only to find that they either were not one of the locations to get the sauce or that they were one of the locations that received a few but that they were already out resulting in people getting pissed off. Young kids leaving crying because they can't get the sauce, employees laughing and recording videos to post online of people upset that they couldn't get the sauce. Many locations being "sold out" before they started with the employees claiming they don't know what the people are talking about they never heard that there was any special sauce being sold that day (ie the ones that sold it on eBay). Hopefully those that normally eat there and got burned by this don't go there for awhile. Let it hurt their pockets for awhile to burn though the money they made off of this stunt.
 
If you are really determined to try it, go watch binging with babish on YouTube. He had some of it and made a very close clone of it and gives the recipe. If I ever decide it looks good that is what I'll do. That said it really doesn't look interesting.
 
My semi-local McDonalds ran out fast too didnt get a chance.

I mean, the majority of the people who got it/want it aren't ones who actually want to taste the sauce. It's a gimmick and collectible, pretty much.
 
I saw a line at an area McD's - guessing 20-30 people? I was in the drive-thru lane and didn't know what it was until after I had left.
 
I didn't see it the fine print. Someone sold the sauce packets for 100 to 250$ that's nuts I tell you.

I tried to get some myself. Got there at 2:15 at the Beaverton location. 17 packets.

This was the dumbest promo I've ever seen. Like it couldn't have been handled worse. Let's generate a bunch of hype and barely make any.

I'm partially amused and pissed off all at the same time.

One thing is for certain, I'm not wanting to go to McDonald's ever again. Maybe that's for the best.
 
Glad to see they have decided to bring it back!

I was having to get ready for Hurricane Nate on Saturday so no way I could be bothered with trivial things like waiting in line for a sauce packet!

We made it out okay, but many people around us have been without power for 24 hours!
 
So McD's is bringing it back in full production now. I'll say this was a pretty Rick move by them honestly. 10/10 troll.
 
My daughter said her friends that work at McDs all took the packets home or only left 5 in the store .. craziness about a sauce
 
They probably just added soy sauce to the sweet and sour sauce XD. Maybe somone can take a peek at the recipe so we can just recreate it?
 
Maybe it's due to fast food restaurants being terrible in urban environments, but I didn't see anything to write home about when I tried it.

I'll be the first to admit there's nothing special about it. I'm sure 99% of why i like them is because of an imprint when i was a wee tot. Back when my whole culinary world revolved around either PB&J or Kraft cheese + Mayo (both on wonderbread) for lunch and a random assortment of dinners.

McD's was a rare occurrence and the McRib was usually offered as a limited run so for my young mind that's like 2x as special. Plus kids' pallets are usually all sorta of whack.

I stay away from McDs for the most part now (prefer Wendy's) but every few years the mood strikes for a McRib. It's not bad, not great, but definitely nostalgic.
 
I just don't get Rick N Morty, it's not funny. I heard all these hipsters, friends and relatives rave about it; watched around 20 minutes from two shows and was like, almost anything on adult swim is way more funny. What's the big deal?

I find your lack of faith.....disturbing.
