      I love the reigned-in snark now that their sister sites are partnering with McDs.

    Christ, not this shit again.

    On the bright side, this would be a good time to point and laugh at the sad assholes who paid hundreds (or thousands?) for a packet on eBay.

      How can we, the mere common clay of humanity, possibly laugh at the evolved superbeings intelligent enough to really “get” Rick & Morty to the point in which they spend thousands on 15 cents worth of subpar sauce?

      They’re operating on a whole other level, man.

      The Simpsons were able to buy their Shezhuan sauce at the grocery store. It happened during the opening title so it must be true.

    Hey McDonalds, it went ‘wrong’ the moment you chumps decided to actually cater to these shitheads. R&M is a fabulous show, but dear lord it has the worst fandom in all of television history.

    Hello, fellow internet “dudes” and “dudettes”! This is your homie Bart Fargo here, and I’m typing up some of my patented hilarious internet comments right now! In between bites of a McDouble I just snagged for lunch for only $1.99!

    Because Kinja wasn’t bad enough, we now have to deal with stealth advertising.

      Does “stealth” mean something differently than it did yesterday when I was snacking on a delicious bag of Funyuns (TM).

    They’re doing it wrong. What they need to do is run a promo saying

    “We’re never bring that sauce back, you dickbag fanboys. Do you hear us? Ever. It was a joke about how Rick is so goddamn obsessed with stupid personal favorites, that he’ll go back in time to enjoy something and put the universe at risk. It could have just as easily been an Arch Deluxe, or a Taco Bell Beefer, or a Wendy’s breakfast sandwich, but they decided to do our sauce, and you morons are acting like it’s a real recommendation. And then we tried to bring it back and you acted like a bunch of assholes and scared off our customers. Fuck you. It’s dead, and it’s staying dead, and we own the fucking patent, so good luck getting some of that somewhere else. And forget about Burger King releasing Szechuan sauce, because that isn’t canon. Rick never talked about Szechuan sauce, he talked about the Mulan branded Szechuan sauce, and don’t kid yourself by thinking he would have accepted a substitute. It’s dead and you can’t have any more. Did you hear that non Rick & Morty freaks? We’re not bringing it back. You can come in and buy our hot garbage without having to worry about these losers. Keep on giving us your money. We’re not giving them this. Honestly, who do you protesters even think you are? You think we’re scared of you? Christ, we’re deforesting the world to produce our terrible beef patties. We can fucking kill you. Do you understand that? We could. We’ll send a black ops team to your house and slit your fucking throat in your sleep, and everybody will think it’s a suicide. Just try us. Hell, I want you to try it. God damn it, do something.

    I’m loving it.”

      +1 for reminding me the Arch Deluxe was a thing.

      -1 for not ending it with “Try Arby’s”.

    Anyone actually in a mouth-foaming panic to get this sauce, remember that Mulan is getting a live action remake by Disney which will probably ALSO feature this promotion.

    Because I really, REALLY wanted to see that kid take a shot to the breadbasket.
