    I’m ashamed to say I went to one. I didn’t think much of it, I saw it was happening and went “I like Rick and Morty, that sauce sounds kinda tasty, I’m free this afternoon, why not?” I had no idea it would become the insane nightmare it was.

    Also to give the tiniest credit to the Rick and Morty fans, McDonald’s did really fucking bungle it. Not enough to deserve the wack ass reaction it got, but they didn’t handle it well.

      Maybe I'm too conspiracy brained, but I'm still convinced that was intentional. A botched promotion gets more attention than a low-key normal promotion.

      Oh, nothing to be ashamed about, seems reasonable to go to a funny little promotion for a cartoon you like. The good lord knows I've done weirder shit.

      Hearing about the police being called to some of them is really what made me laugh at the time, lmao.
