Justin Roiland, creator of the animated series “Rick and Morty,” is about to have a two-decade dream come true: He once again gets to sample McDonald’s Szechuan-style dipping sauce.
The Asian-style Chicken McNugget dipping sauce was made only briefly in 1998 as part of a promotion for the Disney animated feature “Mulan.”.
But Roiland told a Comic-Con panel on Friday that the fast-food giant has promised to deliver him a jug of the sauce next week.
Roiland told reporters he plans to film himself and co-creator Dan Harmon sampling the sauce, including any “disappointing reactions.”.
Roiland did, however, talk about how far he has gone to try to find the beloved sauce.
“Rick and Morty’s” cult appeal has raised awareness of the sauce and inspired online petitions demanding it back.
In April, a McDonald’s spokesperson told HuffPost it is willing to consider bringing back the Szechuan McNugget sauce. »
