'We want sauce': police called after McDonald's Rick and Morty promotion heats up
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.

Last episode was one of the best of the season for me, not as well scripted as the evil morty takeover, but for out and out creasing it was clear.

I'm not sure "jump the shark" can apply to Rick and Morty
but yeah, no doubt it will get boring within the next 2 seasons, such a shame what's happened to Archer
