McDonald’s Surprises Fans With Return of Szechaun Sauce
‘Rick and Morty’ fans rejoice.
After a Rick and Morty-fueled re-release a few years back, McDonald’s is now set to bring back its beloved Szechaun Sauce.
Announced earlier this week, the fast-food giant revealed that fans will soon be able to dunk their Chicken McNuggets into the iconic sweet and savory sauce once again. Starting March 31, Szechuan Sauce will be available for free with any Chicken McNuggets order when selecting a dipping sauce exclusively on McDonald’s App, for a limited time and while supplies last.
The sauce will be returning in limited-edition, golden foil packets in five different designs, which together spell “Szechuan,” and joins the current lineup of Sweet ‘N’ Sour, Creamy Ranch, Honey, Spicy Buffalo, Tangy BBQ and Honey Mustard sauces.
Szechuan Sauce or Mulan Sauce was created back in 1998 to promote the Disney film, Mulan. But back in 2017, Adult Swim‘s animated comedy Rick and Morty Season 3, Episode 1, “The Rickshank Rickdemption” featured a scene discussing the long-forgotten sauce, ultimately spurring fan outcry for a nationwide re-release February 26, 2018.
For those unfamiliar, McDonald’s Szechaun Sauce features a bright and bold mix of soy, garlic, ginger and mild vinegar notes.
