You read that right. Rick & Morty may have single-handedly revived a promotional food item from the past. And You won’t even have to wait nine seasons for it, either.
Originally sold with Chicken McNuggets as promotion for Disney’s Mulan, the szechuan dipping sauce was thought lost to time. But after [adult swim]’s April Fool’s airing of the season opener of Rick & Morty, interest spiked. Not only is there an ever burgeoning petition for McDonald’s to bring back the sauce, one of McDonald’s head chefs has expressed an interest in reviving it.
I'll see what I can do

Speculation is high, with some expressing the possibility that it will once again be a promotional item for Disney’s live action Mulan remake in 2018. What kind of dipshit would want it to disappear for another two decades, though?! Sounds like total Morty thinking to me. Do you really want to live in a world without szechuan McNugget dipping sauce again? I’d accept it seasonally at worst, but it should be around all the time so that I don’t have to hoard it like some kind of crazy doomsday prepper.
