The failure to provide enough special edition Szechuan dipping sauce has led to chaotic scenes at fast food outlets across America
A McDonald’s public relations stunt has ended in chaos and acrimony after the fast food chain promised fans of the TV show Rick and Morty a limited edition, long out of production Szechuan dipping sauce and then swiftly ran out.
Police were called to at least one outlet after people in queues for the sauce began getting angry and chanting “we want sauce”.
Fans of Rick and Morty, a hugely popular US science fiction cartoon that riffs off the Back to the Future films, descended on McDonald’s restaurants in cities across the US on Saturday after the chain announced it would be selling a limited run of a long out-of-production Szechuan dipping sauce that is referenced in the show’s third season.

Re: Only in America
If only they were armed, they could have killed the McDonald's serving staff for refusing to provide Szechuan sauce.

The right to Szechuan dipping sauce is enshrined in the Constitution, to be fair.

Re: Only in America
McDonald's Szechuan dipping sauce is cultural appropriation, and as such, advertising and marketing of it is at least a microaggression against Chinese people and culture. It's white people coopting the cultural cuisine of a marginalized group, and devaluing it. This is patriarchal capitalism and systemic racism at its finest.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Sorry, but these days, it's Americans who are the marginalised group. You ought to be railing about Chinese McDonalds stores...Forty Two wrote:McDonald's Szechuan dipping sauce is cultural appropriation, and as such, advertising and marketing of it is at least a microaggression against Chinese people and culture.

Re: Only in America
America First!
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/201 ... he_us.htmlOne reason for high firearm ownership is that people realize the country is swimming in cultural waters that are like a sewer. Look at the toxic filth coming out of Hollywood and the music and entertainment industry. Much of their products are riddled with violence, gratuitous sex, vulgarity, and a glorification of shallow physical appearance. When traditional religion appears, it is often there to be mocked and belittled, as is patriotism.
Another factor is the public schools. Not that long ago, objectives of the schools included teaching an appreciation of America and her history and imparting an understanding of civic responsibility to the students. As a matter of policy, the schools also sought mightily to blend immigrants into the American mainstream.
But not so much anymore. The mantra is now 'diversity is strength,' as if constantly repeating this slogan can make it so...
