If you are either a fan of Rick & Morty or a connoisseur of discontinued McNugget sauces, I have some good news for you. This Saturday, October 7th, you can finally obtain the Mulan-inspired dipping sauce. (While supplies last, obviously.)




If you’re not sure how Rick & Morty, Mulan, and McNugget sauce all relate, it has to do with the teaser premiere of the show that aired back in April, in which we learn that the sweet and sour-adjacent dipper is Rick’s driving force, his “one armed man,” if you will.


McDonald’s did dole out three giant bottles of the stuff to some very lucky Twitter users, but that seemed to be the last of their supply. (When I, a very important internet person, reached out for a sample, I was told the sauce was “stuck in 1998.”) But now it’s back as part of an effort to promote the chain’s new Buttermilk Crispy Tenders, and you can make it yours.

Not all McDonald’s locations will have the the much-discussed condiment, so make sure to check out the informational page on exactly where you need to go to get the goods. (There will also be sauce-themed posters, if you’re into that sort of thing.) If you don’t make it there before they run out, don’t worry; you can whip up your own at home, and it’s pretty damn good.
