McDonald’s Listens to ‘Rick and Morty’ Fans Who Want the Szechuan Sauce Back
By Lauren Stacy • April 7, 2017When the writers of Cartoon Network’s Rick and Morty urged McDonald’s to bring back its McNuggets Szechuan dipping sauce—last savored in 1998 as part of a promotion for Disney’s Mulan—they heard them loud and clear. The request took the form of a rant from the show’s main character—Rick—foaming at the mouth and yelling uncontrollably about his unbridled love for some McD’s saucy goodness. The fast food giant responded to fans’ request, stating “we never say never, because when our customers speak, we listen. And to paraphrase some of our most enthusiastic fans, our sauce is so good that it would be worth waiting 9 seasons or 97 years for.”
