McDonald's Szechuan Sauce RE-Do: Will It Be Enough?

So, tomorrow, Feb 26, 2018, McDonald's will officially roll out their reissue of the "Rick & Morty Szechuan Sauce" that caused so many problems back in October 2017. This time, McDonald's will be rolling out 20 million of the sauce cups, with different packaging, hoping to stave off riots and police intervention.

The question is, will it be enough?

According to Stasita.com, in 2016 there were 14,146 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. and 1,450 In Canada. This brings the North american total to 15,596 restaurants.

Now, we simply divde 20 million by the number of restaurants to give the total availability.

That gives us a grand total of 1,282 packets per restaurant.

That sounds like a lot. BUT..........

if you consider the current population of the U.S., 323.1 million as of 2016, this means that there is a total supply of this sauce for roughly 16% of the U.S. This also could mean some area's getting less than their allotted amount due to high demand in higher traffic areas. Also, keep in mind that, according McDonald's own site, they serve 69 million people a DAY! Taking all this into account, it's possible there could be a lot of Rick & Morty fans left out in the cold.

In truth, I've only caught bits and pieces of the show myself. I do believe I'd probably like it if I could get to really watch it, but circumstances haven't permitted as yet. I do not know what to make of this phenomenon, other than to say, when people really like something, they tend to go all out with it.

I'd like your thoughts on the matter. And, hey, if you're in the market for a few of these "special sauces", I have been lucky enough to score a few before they are widely available. You can see my eBay listing here

note: I do not really expect ANYONE to buy these, but hey, can't hurt to try right? LoL

You had me at Rick and Morty, then you threw me for a loop and broke down some serious math about statistics and distribution problems regarding Szechuan Sauce. Gold, motherfucking gold.

You had the classic bait and switch, which is a hallmark of comedy. Even if you aren't trying to make jokes, the juxtaposition between cartoons, fast food, and math is quality shit. You could have ignored jokes and doubled downed on the math and carved out a great niche.

This reminds me of The Motley Fool. You have a specific skill set that can make you noticeable if you can harness it. Marrying something boring like statistics and something wacky like cartoon dipping sauce shit is brilliant.

Where you fucked up is saying you don't really watch Rick and Morty. You just told your audience that you don't really care what you are talking about. Their reaction is to stop caring what you are talking about too.

Repeat after me: NEVER POINT OUT A NEGATIVE.

Never make excuses, never apolagise. Always act like you walked into a room full of lonely millionaire housewives on the verge of divorce and slammed your ten foot cock on the table and said, "Whaddup bitches, dinner is served."

If they don't eat it, it doesn't matter anyway. If they do, you have a customer for life.

"note: I do not really expect ANYONE to buy these, but hey, can't hurt to try right? LoL"

What the fuck is this! You just talked people out of buying something Cartoon Network just set a whole market for, so much that McDonalds just brought back a dead product from years ago because of it! You have packages of liquid gold in your pocket! Rich Aisians who love cartoons and don't live in America will buy this.

Dude! Assert yourself. Don't ask permission. Don't apologize. DON'T APOLOGIZE. DON'T ASK PERMISSION. DON'T EVER EXPLAIN YOURSELF! Do you. Don't think about what you think other people want, do what you think is interesting and fun. If you do anything else, people will smell bullshit a mile away and leave. But...When you do write about what you love...write like you are the god of it. You don't need to explain yourself. You wrote the fucking book. You like Crypto? No, you are Crypto. You don't ever ask for anyone else's approval because you are a grown ass man and you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Also, why did you comment on my whore page and not put up your Szechuan Ebay listing? Go do that right fucking now!

Well... Thank you @themadgoat. This has got to be, hands down the best comment I've had period. You made me laugh, you humbled me and you gave me some really great advice.

Dude, you made my wife cry with the millionaire housewives statement.

I'm trying here and I'm pretty new at this. I will do better in the future sir.
Peace
