Rick
and Morty: And, that Mulan Szechuan sauce
Yep,
I watched the first episode of R&M and I loved the remarks to the
McDonald's Mulan special with the nuggets. The show is known for
these sort of things thanks to Dan Harmon.
The
sauce was a promotional tie-in with the Mulan movie that came out
almost 20 years ago from Disney. I was a huge fan of the movie back
in the day, but knew nothing about the tie-in nuggets and sauce.
Damn, 98 is such a long time ago.
They
should bring back these kids all grown up and angry just for the
lulz.
Now,
it seems pop culture and reality have cross paths. People are
demanding that McDonald's bring back the sauce due to the pop culture
rise of it being mentioned in R&M. How funny is that? From
reference to meme to reality.
From
Chicago Times, ((“Rick
and Morty” fans are petitioning for the sauce to be brought back,
watching tutorials about how to make it and tweeting at McDonald’s
to consider adding the dip back to the menu — a move that might be
well-timed with a live-action “Mulan” coming to theaters in 2018.
))
McDonald's had mentioned
they're looking into it. I just hope they bring it out much, much
earlier than 2018 when the live movie comes out.
Not everybody
is pleased with this news though. There are certain people that are
calling this whole thing Problematic ™ . Here's the thing
Disney went out of their way to cast an Asian cast in most of the
roles for the movie. And, it has a strong female character to boot.
Yet,there is still an issue. Whatever. Okay, shut up and sit in a
corner please. We want our Mulan sauce.
I only go to McDonald's for
the breakfast stuff, but I'd be willing to buy some nuggets with some
Mulan sauce.
Can't wait for McDonald's
to make
it for you? Make
it yourself.
