Over the weekend, certain locations of McDonald&#39;s brought back their Szechuan sauce (which came out as a promotion for the Disney movie Mulan) after sci-fi cartoon Rick and Morty fans demanded it, based on an episode of the show. Unfortunately, things didn&#39;t go quite as planned, and most of the fans who wanted the McNuggets dipping sauce weren&#39;t able to get it. Lines were long, supply was low, and people ended up scalping packets of the sauce for as much as $700 on eBay, according to EW.McDonald&#39;s apologized, but irate fans of the show really let them have it on Twitter.McDonald&#39;s had one job.
