How can Sichuan-style dipping sauce alarm the American police?

This weekend, a seasoning with China characteristics, after 19 years, once again ignited the enthusiasm of American consumers.

1998, in order to promote the animated film Mulan with the theme of China, the filmmakers and McDonald's jointly launched a Sichuan sauce with China characteristics, which was used to match the wheat-flavored chicken nuggets.

This idea, which mainly serves for film marketing, has received miraculous effects, and Sichuan Chili sauce has also been loved by Americans. However, with the release of the film, the limited-time supply of Sichuan Chili sauce is no longer sold.

Until April this year 1, the popular comic "Rick and Morty" returned in the third season, which once again aroused Americans' memories of Sichuan Chili sauce.

Rick, the chief scientist in the play, did not forget to go to McDonald's to buy 10 mcnuggets on his way out of prison, and specially asked for the limited edition Sichuan Chili sauce of 1998.

Recently, in order to cooperate with the sales of the new product-crispy chicken with butter and milk, McDonald's announced that it will supply this special edition of Rick and Morty's Sichuan Chili sauce in some stores in the United States on Saturday1October 7, for only one day, and also declared it as a "special limited edition".

After the news was sent out, American netizens whose memories were awakened rushed to tell them and lined up outside the restaurant in advance.

To McDonald's surprise, this marketing finally turned into chaos. Many diners came to McDonald's restaurant with great expectation, but they were told that because it was a limited edition, it had been sold out in advance less than an hour after the sale.

Local media reported that in Atlanta and Wellington, Miami, disappointed "fans" fought over hot sauce and even called the police.

In Novak, customers hold signs demanding that restaurants continue to provide services.

Consumers who got it began to sell it for hundreds of dollars on Yi Bei. ...

In Delaware, customers thought there were restaurants here, but when they arrived at the scene, they realized that not all stores had them. So they complained on social media that the behavior of the merchants was suspected of tempting sales.

McDonald's later issued a statement apologizing, saying it didn't realize it would be so popular.

It seems that China's food is also very popular abroad.
