they didn't expect a thousand screaming handicaps..

obviously, but 20 packets per store was clearly a gross underestimate of how much people gave a stuff

it's hard to put yourself into the mindset of a mcdonalds marketing exec, but I'm sure they could have exploited this better without spurring the rage of screaming handicaps.

same thing happened when they gave out MLP toys, they ran out but the bronies didnt cause a riot.

Look at this from McDonald's perspective. It was a one off reference in a single episode. This is not a reoccuring joke or a big plot point it was a small reference. McDonald's thought this was just a cute little promotional thing.

It was pretty predictable that this would turn into a 'lines running outside the door' kind of fiasco. I called it days in advance, and I'm not a sales executive.

forget you guys. I know for a fact that all of you joke about Rick and Morty like it's a show for pseudo-intellectuals, but it's actually a great loving show. You guys need to stop making fun of everyone who watches it and linking them to /r/iamverysmart culture, because, you know what? THEY PROBABLY ARE. Intellectuals like them are probably made fun of in their daily lives and every time they try to expose themselves to everyone else, they are played off with that stupid, stuffty, mocking copypasta that everybody and their mothers post. IM SICK OF IT!! IM ONLY IN MY SENIOR YEAR AND HIGH SCHOOL, AND WHEN I APPLY TO YALE, IM GONNA POST RICK AND MORTY AS ONE OF MY INFLUENCES, BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?? RICK AND MORTY ACTUALLY VOICES MY FEELINGS!!! forget all of you and your copypastas, you'll never understand the jokes of Rick and Morty because you're all a bunch of Jerrys.

this is a copypasta now
