Here's a spooky Friday the 13th tale for you: A man went to McDonald's, purchased some Chicken McNuggets and received, for his efforts, a singular 1 oz. package of Mulan Szechuan Sauce (Est. 1998). In normal times this would seem mundane, almost not worth relaying in a technology publication. But these are not normal times, my friend. For this man found himself in possession of a highly coveted Rick and Morty / Mulan-themed (long story) sugar substance valued at roughly 21.8 percent of today's price of gold.

Our friend here—an entrepreneur of sorts—decided not to consume the sauce. Instead, he partnered with two fellow line-standers and sold the three packets of sauce for a hefty $848 on eBay. The man, who asked to remain anonymous because of fear of retribution from the best fanbase in the multiverse™, reached out to me after I first wrote about the McDonald's Rick and Morty sauce debacle on Sunday. Here is a version of his saga that has been condensed because life is short.
