Thanks to Rick and Morty [S03E01] McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce Will Make an Official Limited Return
McDonald’s first issued Szechuan sauce as part of a tie-in with Disney’s 1998 movie, Mulan. In a press release, a company representative confirmed the sauce would be available in “limited quantities for a limited run available in restaurant for one day only.”
The move may seem odd for those who haven’t been paying attention to Rick and Morty or Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland’s Twitter account. A joke about Szechuan sauce was included in Rick and Morty’s season three premiere. The internet became aflame with demands for McDonald’s to bring back the limited-time sauce.
Fans of the show may get their opportunity to taste Rick’s hype after all — see below:

Each McDonald’s in the location finder will give away limited-edition posters and stickers, while supplies last; only the McDonald’s locations labeled “Szechuan Available” will be giving away Szechuan Sauce, while supplies last.
To find out which restaurants are participating and carrying Szechuan sauce, visit McDonald’s informational page about the event.
There was no official word on whether the sauce was brought back specifically because of Rick and Morty, but it’s better to believe this was the case, no? This isn’t ad hoc basis is it?
