EDM producer deadmau5 is attempting to buy a rare bottle of McDonald’s special Szechuan sauce, as popularized by the animated series Rick and Morty, and is willing to pay a load of money for it.
In 1998, McDonald’s launched a promotional Szechuan sauce to coincide with the release of the Disney film Mulan. Then, earlier this year, the Season 3 premiere of Rick and Morty featured many references to the phased out sauce. Because of the popularity of the show, fans have lobbied McDonald's to bring back the Szechuan sauce, to no success.
However, an old packet of the sauce later sold on Ebay for nearly $15,000 (P760.000). A few weeks later. McDonald’s produced a small amount of limited-edition bottles of the sauce, gifting one to Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland.
Now, one Ebay seller has listed an item that claims to be one of the few bottles of the sauce that McDonald’s recently made. Upon seeing the auction, deadmau5 tweeted: “am i really in the middle of a bidding war over a 64oz bottle of Szechuan Sauce? yes. i am.”
