This woman traded her rare McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce for a Volkswagen.
Earlier this month, Rachel Marie from Macomb, Mich., posted a Facebook status asking what she could swap for her sauce.
The McNugget elixir returned to McDonald’s for one day only on Oct. 7 following its introduction in 1998 as a promotional tie-in with the Disney movie “Mulan.”
In April 2017, there was renewed interest in the sauce after it was prominently featured in an episode of the Adult Swim cartoon series “Rick and Morty.” Shortly thereafter, fans launched a Change.org petition urging McDonald’s to bring back the sauce.
Unfortunately, the fast-food chain distributed only about 20 packets to each of its restaurants, which shot up the demand. Fans paid as much as $10 for a packet of the stuff.
That surge in demand explains how Marie was able to nab herself the 2004 Volkswagen, reports car website the Drive. She wrote on Facebook: “Thank you for the insane trade on the VW Golf Mk4 for the legendary Szechuan Sauce Duane Kimmel, I hope you got lost in the sauce!”
