Last year, the TV show Rick and Morty featured a joke concerning McDonald’s limited edition Szechuan sauce, released alongside the 1998 Disney movie Mulan.
As a result, thousands of fans signed a petition demanding the fast food chain bring back the sauce, McDonald’s eventually giving into demand and releasing a batch.
#McDonald’s released a “limited” number of packets on the 7 October, but not nearly enough for the legions of fans who arrived at restaurants, police being called to some as outrage spread.
