On April 1st, 2017, there was a surprise airing of a long awaited new episode of Rick and Morty. The episode featured a sequence about a 1998 McDonalds promotion, which offered "Mulan Szechuan Teriyaki Dipping Sauce", promoting the release of the 1998 Disney Film [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulan_(1998_film) Mulan]. Following the airing, a slew of 'Zigerian' scammers took to eBay to capitalize on the sauce hype, attempting to sell fake sauce-related items. Some of these items were: packets, pictures of packets, screenshots of listings of photos of packets, etc. | On April 1st, 2017, there was a surprise airing of a long awaited new episode of Rick and Morty.

The episode featured a sequence about a 1998 McDonalds promotion, which offered "Mulan Szechuan Teriyaki Dipping Sauce", promoting the release of the 1998 Disney Film Mulan.

Amidst the chaos of fabricated listings, one posted by the mysterious DefinitelyNotDanHarmon reached $100,000 before being taken down due to multiple false reports on the item. Screenshots of the listing can be viewed here (link?). Reports confirming the listing are available from this article and an inverse.com article.
