Rick And Morty Fans Get McDonald's To Bring Back Szechuan Sauce

(RTTNews) - McDonald's announced that it will bring back its famous Szechuan sauce for one day only on October 7.

"In addition, after nearly 20 years (and perhaps a bit of time travel) we're even doing the impossible… On Oct 7, together with the collectible sauce-themed posters, we're also giving away a one-time only, limited-edition, run of Szechuan Sauce in select restaurants. And when we say limited, we mean really, really limited!" McDonald's said in an advertisement for its brand-new Buttermilk Crispy Tenders.

In April, the Adult Swim series had started a massive online campaign for the revival of the Szechuan Sauce, a cult-classic 1998 Chicken McNugget dip.

This time the Szechuan Sauce will accompany McDonald's Buttermilk Crispy Tenders. The chain will also give away 1,000 screen-printed posters showing its full dipping sauce lineup.

"Customers will have the chance to receive their favorite limited-edition sauce poster at participating McDonald's restaurants on Saturday, October 7, beginning at 2 p.m. local time in select restaurants while supplies last, with the purchase of Buttermilk Crispy Tenders. Limited-edition stickers of the poster designs will also be available when the collectible posters run out," the company said in a statement.
