Wubba lubba dub dub! It looks like McDonald's is bringing back the famed Szechuan sauce, due to popular demand from RICK AND MORTY fans! Originally part of a tie-in with 1998's MULAN, the sauce was only a limited time thing, but RICK AND MORTY co-creator Justin Roiland still had fond memories of it, and wrote his love for it into the season 3 premiere. Apparently he wasn't the only one, as an eBay auction over the sauce went up to $14,700 after the episode’s airing! Hell, McDonald's even sent Roiland the sauce as a sort of thank you!
And now they're giving it out to us regulars for one day only, on October 7th! Here's McDonald's official twitter making the announcement:
I was pretty young in '98, and was a really picky eater (still am, but less so), so I don't think I've ever tried the sauce (BBQ or bust, baby!) But you better believe I'll kick my diet and try some McDonald's for a day! That's why I'll be screaming out "wubba lubba dub dub" – both as an exclamation of joy, and the acknowledgment after eating their fast I'll soon be "in great pain, please help me".
Well, season 3 is over, and according Mr. Poopy Butthole, season 4 might not come out until he has a big ol' white beard.
