Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:


Obviously. They probably can't actually officially identify the show without opening up a legal can of worms.

lol is it back for good? the hype's over, no one's going to actually want it now, props to the person who managed to trade a pack for a car

It's still a one-off, out when it's out, limited edition deal. It's just that, instead of five packs, stores got between 3 and 5 cases of 200-ish packs each, and instead of one or two stores per state, every store in the US got some. Basically, it's being handled the same way any other promotional item would be, and probably the same way the original Mulan promotion was, minus the signage and TV commercials.

The person who traded a packet for a car did so AFTER McDonald's announced they'd be doing a proper run of the sauce, too, by the way.

I heard if McD's kept the sauce on permanently, it would deplete the entire world supply of Szechuans in like 4 weeks.

I caved today and pulled into the drive-thru. When I ordered a four-piece she read off the list of sauces; Szechuan was the very last one on the list. "Sweet and sour, honey mustard, BBQ and... that weird one I can't pronounce."

"Szechuan!"

"Yeah! That. Thanks."

At the register, she referred to it as the "weird name sauce".

The sauce was forgettable; I felt it would have gone better with something else, but it really wasn't very flavorful and it was honestly overwhelmed by the nuggets. The nuggets, which I have not had since childhood, were terrifying in the perfection of their golden outer layer and the hollow, pasty textureless pap continained within. I begin to understand what the meat industry has to fear from vat-grown meat, because that seems like Step 1 on the list of Things To Replace. The inside of a chicken nugget is basically just enzyme-bonded protein slurry anyway. It's just... vat meat with extra steps.

You know what's not an internet meme? 2 for 5 big macs. That's real. It's happening. You can trade any 2 big macs for 5 more big macs. They have to let you. You can stay at the store and build up a massive supply of big macs. 2 becomes 5, 4 becomes 10, 10 becomes 50, 50 becomes 250. And you can eat the spare from the first 2 for 5.

What I find funnier though is that, in a thread for a show with an alcoholic protagonist, when people mention "the sauce", they are literally just talking about sauce.

I've never tried the Mulan sauce, but if you like the nuggets, there is a deal for them on the McDs phone app right now.

I eat them once or twice a year... but it's always a dice roll: if they are fresh out the fryer, they are pretty good, but if they've been sitting around for more then a minute, they turn into greasy cardboard.

I love this, but technically it's we the audience who forgets about him.


EDIT: Well, ok, Rick forgets him after his drinking, but so do Morty and the rest of the Avengers.

OK, curiosity got the best of me, so I went and had some nuggets for lunch (thankfully, the nuggets were hot and fresh).

I agree, the sauce tastes much more like teriyaki then anything Szechuan. A little too sweet for my tastes, but then again, so are most of the nugget sauces. Smells strongly of soy sauce, with hints of ginger and toasted sesame oil. Nothing special, but not bad for a McDonald's product.

So word on the street (writing staff) is that nobody has even started writing S4 yet and if we get episodes before late 2019 it will be a total miracle.

The dude from the article I read is a writer for Rick & Morty and was saying “I don’t know what the loving hold up is but apparently Adult Swim hasn’t even ordered more episodes yet.”

So I had 20 nugs (and dat sauce) for dinner. It was good imho. Tastes like a sweet teriyaki basically.

It's a step down from say, BBQ in terms of sweetness, which I like (I'm usually more of a ranch fan )but it's good.

They gave 3 packets which was more than enough, I put a third unused one in the fridge... maybe I should dip a PICKLLLLLEE in it. sorry

Draw Rick's face on the pickle, take a picture of it dipped in the sauce, and post on Reddit

Thank you. I had a lot of fun making that in after effects

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I know you guys are busy talking about the sauce,. but I would love to divert your attention for just a few moments, because we have 2 new animation videos, Guest starring ANOTHER RICK AND MORTY ARTIST :catdrugs:

Today we are going to draw some very cartoony RPG characters, with the help of Brianne Neumann, who is a background painter on Rick and Morty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7SLJjVkKXU

And If you like to know how animation works. We have a very special After Effects tutorial all about P A R A L L A X I N G which is is a really cool "Fake 3D" effect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGC2HsCR_ls

Also please let me know if you hate these videos or what ever. I honestly post them here because as an RnM artist. if feels relevant, even though its in no way related to the show.
