Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

Time to go to McDonalds

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and seeeeee

100% first thing that came to my mind.

...

If only the sauce was tainted and every fucker who got it fucking died

The best commentary shows are ones that remain true years later. Or come true in this case.

Also what the fuck did McDonalds expect. They cater to a shit fanbase, they get shit results. Did no one learn from the bronies?

>Also what the fuck did McDonalds expect.
free exposure and it worked

I forgot
what did the brones do

Eventually they began to harass the voice actress who did Applejack or one of the writers or something. They just got way too obsessed with the people working on the show partly because they were able to meet them at BronyCon and because the writers kept reaching out and giving them nods, giving them a sense of self-fulfillment.

I meant with mcdonalds

Sounds like any otaku fanbase in japan

What would Darkseid do?

Reality itself is becoming a Boondocks Episode

I have been hearing about this for a few days and never understood what it is even about. Can someone give me the rundown ?

MOTHERFUCKER

Except I'm pretty sure the 'out of chicken' gag was based on an old news report where a popeye's ran out of chicken.

>NIGGAS...

See, this is why you don't interact with fans, ever. If you think there's something they'll buy in droves, make and and sell it, but don't get away free stuff, don't give them shout-outs on Twitter, don't acknowledge them in any way. I don't know if it's due to the "always on" nature of social media these days or something else, but fans get out of control way, WAY too quickly now- you give them any kind of validation at all, and their sense of ownership just balloons like crazy until you have stuff like fans doxxing a show's writers because their ship wasn't made canon, or people starting fights in a McDonald's because it ran out of promotional goodies.

And you be right.

You can acknowledge but keep at arm's length. I don't see how people don't know this. Just working retail for a while I acted friendly but stayed all business since people will take advantage when they can. Some unfortunate coworkers would get too buddy-buddy with customers and eventually loathe seeing them as those customers would try to get weird preferential treatment or start asking for too much.

>One store has police show up and waste their time as literally nothing happened
>It's all actually just a bunch of loud and disappointed autists and not people tearing off the doors like news outlets are trying to make it seem

So fucking tired of hearing of this shit already. The only thing worse than the people who are participating are the retards buying into this fake news.

>#boycottmcdonalds is a thing

>m-my fanbase isn't full of fat retards, it's #fakenews sad :(
supersize your damage control, reddit and meme autist.

I'M MAD

That still sounds like a bunch of fat retards, just not violent fat retards.

>I have to feed my family

Fuck that takes me back to being a kid. My family was poor and every sunday the mcdonalds had a special where cheese burgers were 33 cents(at the time a value burger was exactly a dollar). So my mother would take me out and we would get 6 of those tiny cheap cheese burgers.

Poverty is a big reason why a lot of americans are fat.

>All of this chaos just because Justin wants some fucking limited edition sauce he liked from Disney's Mulan movie.

>That one Ned Flanders looking guy

How young are you to not know this kind of pathetic crap happens all the time?

>They clearly cherrypicked the angry ones

>Guy with the suit
>"Are you kidding me"

When was the last time a cartoon made people protest over a sauce that has been out of circulation for longer than those people have lived?

In Rick & Morty, it was a gag that Rick was obsessed with this McDonald's sauce, Szechuan Sauce, which was a limit-timed promotion for Mulan in 1998. This discontinued sauce then became a huge meme for fans of the show.

Recently, McDonald's even used it for some publicity, sending some jugs of it to the creators of the show, and raffling off some to fans. If I'm not mistaken, they claimed this all that was left from it's original production, but as you're about to see that's probably not true.

It was announced last week that for one day only McDonald's would be bringing the sauce back to promote their new Chicken Tenders, so Fans of R&M were incredibly excited. However, it was only to be at a handful of restaurants, which were listed on their website. Come to the event yesterday, where hundred of fans came to get some sauce but next to none had any. At best, each store was only given 25 packets and 10 posters per store, and even then, some stores claimed they had no knowledge of the event either meaning McDonald's lied or the staff was keeping the promotion items to later sell online.

So, you had hundred of R&M fans, some that drove miles for the promotion, that went home empty handed. The only thing McDonald's was willing to say was, "We're sorry. There was only a limited amount produced." Their twitter, and other Social Media, has been nearly silent outside of some automated responses. If you look at videos and pictures, parking lots were full, lines wrapped around the store, and as OP showed, at least one protest occurred. It's just madness.

While the fans have no right to be acting out so aggressively, McDonald's was in the wrong for the whole situation, but they're going to ignore it until it blows over. But with such a "dedicated" fan base as Rick & Morty, I think they're gonna be harassed about it for some time. Far more than Target was for the Nuka Cola debacle.

Reddit and Memey fans are literally no better than niggers

We knew this day would come.

I'm not surprised, and they shouldn't be either.

Look how far people go for cartoon memes.

I'M MAD!

Fucking ponyfags are better than saucefags

Mm mm mm that's some good cherry picking

>buthurt r&mfag

>Only argument is to call someone butthurt
Ponyfags everybody

>McDonald's was in the wrong for the whole situation
I don't want to blame McDonalds for not anticipating people driving miles for a blatant marketing stunt. About fucking sauce. A marketing stunt that probably isn't even the true original recipe but just a current sauce on their line rebranded as Rick and Morty.

I don't think anyone working at McDonalds, even if they knew how big the fanbase was, assumed for a second people would be driving from out of town for a packet of sauce.

There's no way they thought 20 packets of sauce would be even nearly enough at any of the stores though. Your average store probably go through 20 packets of BBQ in 20 minutes and they don't have this kind of hype behind them. Hell the only reason they brought it back was because R&M fans wouldn't shut the fuck up about it. They had 6 months and they maybe had enough sauce to fully stock one of their locations for an event like this. The reaction is dumb, though I can understand the people who drove hours to get the sauce being pissed off that they basically just wasted a tank of gas for a "fuck you." but any way you slice it McDonalds fucked up big time. Too much time, Too much hype, Too little effort on their part.

>or the staff was keeping the promotion items to later sell online.
This was undoubtedly the case with my Target and the F.O. 4 Nuka Cola Quantums

>Target Nuka Cola debacle

You're good at explaining things user explain that incident

For the release of Fall Out 4, Target, Bethesda, and Jones Soda struck a deal to release bottles of Nuka Cola Quantum, which is a spin-off flavor of Nuka Cola, a staple in-game item to the series. It wasn't anything fancy, honestly, from what I saw it was just a repackaging of the traditional Berry Lemonade soda that Jones Soda produces that didn't even look like the item did in-game. It just had a generic label on it

Regardless, the novelty is what people wanted and as soon as it was announced every Fallout fan was on the hunt for this Target exclusive. The problem being that Target only sent out one or two crates per store, and each crate only had 12 bottles in it. Scalpers and Store Employees bought them all up as soon as they hit the and because of the way the Target website was set up at the time, if you timed it right, someone could reserve the entire shipment for themselves. Most fans didn't even have a chance to buy any. Jones Soda, to my knowledge, was the only one to acknowledge the complaints and they didn't even apologize for it, just reiterating that it was a limited run, exclusive item and that they would discuss bringing it back at a later date with Target and Bethesda, but that never brought it up again.

Many companies do that sort of thing. I remember when Amiibos came out and no one could find any, and I know the same issues are happening with the new Nintendo Classic consoles. It's different, if say it's a collectors item or something of that ilk, where they make a point of advertising saying only 5000 of this exists. First come, first serve. But when a company purposely raises hype in advertisements for a product, giving people the expectation the majority of people will be able to acquire said item, it's both disheartening and frustrating when it's obvious they didn't think ahead with their cash grab. I guess it's smarter in their eyes to release it limited and sell it all than to mass produce it and be left with unwanted product.

>screw this I'm going to Churches

>mfw I was actually alive for this event

Can someone make that "I'm more disappointed than angry" into a meme?

Rick and Morty fans literally fucking screeching like autists over shitwan sauce for their chicken tendies. Truly the most intelligent fanbase I've ever seen

and yet they are better than R&Mfags

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

...

>implying McDonald's of all companies needs exposure. Come on son, they're the most omnipresent fast food chain in the world. Even starving African children know what McD's is.

McDonald's generally doesn't do all that well in 'Murrica anymore in terms of sales numbers the last few years. (Pretty sure Wendy's passed them in salesa few years ago.) Most of their money is coming from foreign markets these days.

...

>Wendy's is whipping the clown's golden arches riding ass in the states?
Get out of town, for real?

you wanna fuckin go m8?

Pretty much every fast food joint is eating away at Mickey D's market share.

They pour all their efforts into expanding abroad to places where fast food is not so common that they ignored the competition in their own backyard.

I've always thought it also had to do with supersize me being a part of pop culture

Gotta be some way to replicate the formula for the sauce.

Imagine how much cash you could make faking a jug of the stuff and scamming the retards, or just selling the sauce as just fan-made shit? Hell, I bet you don't even need to make the sauce taste exactly like the real stuff; it's not like the dumbasses would have a comparison.

We should team back up with /ck/ and see if we can strike in on this oil field.

Mcdonalds is the worst rated Burger-chain in America. But they're still kicking just because they have franchises in every nook and cranny

washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2014/07/02/consumer-reports-mcdonalds-burger-ranked-worst-in-the-u-s/

Buy a pack of cereal, rice or oatmeal. That's cheap, gram for dollar. Ask Fat entitled murikans eat too much meat which gives them ass cancer.

THEN GO TO A GROCERY STORE YOU STUPID CUNTS

MAKING YOUR OWN FOOD IS WAY CHEAPER THAN EATING OUT, EVEN IF THERE'S A SPECIAL

IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO MAKE DINNER FOR YOUR FUCKING KIDS

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PROCREATED IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE FOOD FOR THE LITTLE BASTARDS

>Poverty is a big reason why a lot of americans are fat.

>Amerilards seriously believe this

well it is, look to any western sociaty, the poorest parts of the population is always the fattest.
whether it be because junk food is quick, cheep and tasty(If you don't k now better), a lack of cooking skills or simply not knowing and or caring about eating right. is the cause i don't know but you see it all over the western world.

>tfw chinese and can get real szechuan sauce super easily from any market

I honestly don't get the appeal. It's not even that good.

that's because the element that keeps you poor also keeps you fat.

stupidity

> I guess it's smarter in their eyes to release it limited and sell it all than to mass produce it and be left with unwanted product.
Boy I wish I had that VG cats comic with that potato and other thing selling a console to peas and the potato having hundreds to sell but the other guy only selling one and thinking he's a success for being all sold out.

...

Whaat? All this time you guys keep calling me underage b&. Now I can legally post and I get tze cold shoulder. No No sir. I implore YOU to kindly Fuck Off.

>hello 911? No i aint calling a snitch, i got a real emergency
>these fools done run out of sauce

this
I'm definitely a poorfag but even I know there are cheaper and not to mention longer lasting methods than just waiting for mcd's happyhour.

LEARN TO COOK
You'd be surprised how much you can do with a very few essentials.

>What's the problem? You can literally buy a gallon of szechuan sauce at the market.
>THAT IS NOT THE REAL THING REEEEEEEE

And from this day forward R&M fans will forever be branded as being shitheads on the level of bronies.

What makes the McDonald's version so special?
You can buy a huge bottle of a different brand online for $10, probably less.

I don't know whats in the kind you've gotten but the shit I got the other day from the restaurant down the street is some bomb as shit.
The shit from mcdonalds is probably fucking horrible in comparison though.

It's their fault, their fucking site said there would be next to none, and even being an optimist I knew the store employees would just take about half to scalp later I worked at Wal-Mart for a couple of years and at midnight right when the NES consoles came out one of our managers bought ten of them and resold them on ebay for 600 each.

They kept showing up and demanding the Happy Meal toys.

Been done.

youtube.com/watch?v=lhc_bXGvmp0

You know, a sufficiently devious individual could buy the ten dollar sauce, slap a McD's Szechuan sauce label and sell it off at a major profit.

From what I hear it's essentially glorified barbecue sauce.

People are fucking stupid.

Well there biscuits and tenders are pretty good

youtu.be/W8YAK8oMEKI

The sauce isn't even that good.

This need comes to the end.
