Why Can’t I have Szechuan Sauce? Seriously.

Ok, ok, ok. I get it. The world is closed due to a virus. But how much joy can they take from us? Don’t go anywhere without a mask; no bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, beaches, or anything fun that takes more than 1 person. I guess that is ok. I mean Mcdonalds is open. The golden arches will provide you with anything you could want, so long as it is on their limited menu. Definitely a shake if the ice cream machine is working (if that really happens). The have become a go-to for eating in during the pandemic. Side note: did you know The Grateful Dead played one hundred and seventeen shows in the height of the Hong Kong Flu (they have a habit about naming things from the origin of it. You know, like the Vietnam war). The Hong Kong flu was in fact a form of SARS…. Back to my point; McDonald’s has become a discriminatory seller of products.

I seriously mean that. In our time of great upheaval, The Corporation headquartered in the Chicago area chooses other countries above America. They remove menu items that are good but they can’t sell enough. The constant asking if I want apples in the Happy Meal. Like anyone does really. Parents have the job of eating those apples after kids turn their head at them. Not even to mention they can’t figure out how to toast a damn english muffin. Yet, still I go. But I have reached my limit of patronage with this last straw. No, Eric, you cannot have the delicious szechuan sauce. Eric, the world is on lock down. The movie Mulan may not ever release.

But, if you are an Auzzie, the world of conveniece and tastiness await you. Yes, that is right, a US Corporation chose to let them have the sauce. I see them asking 20 dollars Australian which is like, I have no idea the conversion rate. Last time I was in Sidney in 2016, I got a cup of coffee and a pack of cigarettes for 20 Australian dollars. It not only seems pricy to me and also I would have to pay shipping. Being poor in America sucks if you like certain things. I wouldn’t expect a million or billionare to pay that. They probably would not either. There is a reason they have money. Besides that I just want very few things in life, money isn’t on the list. But those people from down under have such an advantage over me. They get the sauce.
