Art of the Deal: Person Trades Packet Of Szechuan Sauce For New Car

[Milchshake]

Definitely the best story to come from the Szechuan Sauce drama. Hats off to the lady for scoring a nice little car.

So what do you do when you find yourself holding one of corporate America's coveted items? Sell it on eBay of course! A single packet of the sauce is easily running upwards of $100. Some people have theirs listed way into the thousands of dollars, and a promotional half gallon of the sticky sauce in a custom Pelican case is currently auctioning for more than $21,000 (another auction without the case is priced at $15,000). This entire ordeal of is making me question whether whoever buys it will actually dip their chicken nuggets like it's 1998, or save it by throwing it in that junk drawer in their kitchen and forget it exists until way past its expiration date.

But, if you're Rachel Marie from Macomb, Mich., you get more than a few hundred bucks. Originally looking to trade her Szechuan sauce for a collection of pins, she was surprisingly offered something even better. She is now the proud owner of a 2004 Volkswagen GTI. Luckily for her, it wasn't even a base model that she received in the trade. The German hatch features Volkswagen's 1.8-liter turbo 4-cylinder motor coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission, both of which options keep the car worth a bit more than its 2.0-liter and automatic counterparts.

I can only hope that car is as crappy as that sauce probably tastes.

Is there any actual proof on this because I'm pretty sure its bs.

[Sorshen]

Probably a PR stunt.

Reading that post on the left gave me all kinds of retarded autism cancer.

2004 is new ?

To be fair, you have to have an extremely high IQ to understand trading your car in for meme sauce. The humor of it is extreme subtle.

Pretty crazy, especially considering McDonald's is going to reissue the sauce more broadly in a few months.

According to a quick google, depending on condition this car could be worth $2-6 grand.

I am 99% sure that Harmon and Roiland created this Mulan sauce hype precisely to see if they could drive people insane over something so pointless and obscure.

I am 99% sure the show would improve if they let Dan Harmon go.

What's all this shit with this sauce anyway? Where did it come from?

First episode of Season 3 of Rick and Morty made a running joke about Rick's obsession with an obscure McDonald's special sauce they had as a promotion for Mulan back in the 90s.

Irony is, if you watch the whole episode it's clearly a giant meta-satire and there's nothing special about the sauce itself.

It doesn’t take a high I.Q to trade a packet of sauce to someone with a very low I.Q more like lack of conscience.

Someone is unfamiliar with copypasta's about Rick and Morty.

Simpsons did it?

[Tiwack]

Reminds me of the dude who traded his way from a paperclip into a house over several years.
That car looks like a rust-bucket but you could probably trade it or sell it for more than that stupid sauce is worth. Fandom makes people do idiotic things...

All this just because of a stupid cartoon? Oh my... damn internet.

True but I did find it hilarious that show built the demand for this sauce that sold out in 2 hours. That’s pretty brilliant.

Alot of people not 'in on the joke' as it were. Sorry guys the IQ thing is a meme in of itself. Making fun of try hard 'intellectuals' who think watching this show says something positive about their character (And I quite like Rick and Morty) the irony being if they truly understood it they'd really 'try' a whole lot less and just watch and enjoy the damn show as it is.

As for the sauce/car deal, it's been circulating around for a while now alot of people claim it was verified true and the guy tried to get the car back, but that's the last I heard of it.
Honestly, McDonalds are making more of it for people to try in december if you give that many fucks. What a tool. (if it's true)

Was thinking of the exact same clip :P

It's actually really funny, don't let the internet's nonsense colour it.
