The unidentified winner of the online auction joins a limited set of people "in the universe" — including *Rick and Morty* series creator [Justin Roiland](https://time.com/4879868/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-rick-morty/) — that have access to the [Szechuan sauce](https://time.com/4722503/rick-morty-mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce/), which McDonald's gifted to users after an online campaign. The sauce had previously been "stuck" in 1998, when it was in restaurants as part of a marketing push for the movie *Mulan.* McDonald's identified author Robert Workman as a winner of the time-traveling sauce last month. Workman, who [according to i09](http://io9.gizmodo.com/someone-just-paid-15-000-for-rick-and-mortys-szechuan-1797747304) used a friend's account to list the 64-ounce bottle of sauce, said in the [seller's notes](http://www.ebay.com/itm/263127382560?afsrc=1&rmvSB=true#cvip_desc) that he would use proceeds from the sale to "help out others and pay a few bills." Ten percent of the money raised from the sale of the sauce will go to Extra Life, a charity focused on ill and injured children, according to the eBay auction description. Workman wrote that another 10% will go to other causes. The sale attracted more than 100 bids, including one by famed DJ Deadmau5. "Am I really in the middle of a bidding war over a 64oz bottle of Szechuan Sauce? Yes. I am," he wrote in a tweet. Workman said in a tweet Friday that the conquerer of the condiment auction has not stepped forward to claim their prize. "Update on the auction: no response and no payment yet. Still waiting," he said, going on to hint he had a plan B. Just don't give it to cartoon mad scientist Rick, or we may not get any more seasons of *Rick and Morty*, as his self-proclaimed "series arc" would be satisfied. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-ebay-rick-and-morty/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "TV", "item": "https://money.com/tv/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Discontinued McDonald's Sauce of Rick and Morty Fame Draws $15,000 Bid on eBay" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-ebay-rick-and-morty/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-ebay-rick-and-morty/", "name": "Discontinued McDonald's Sauce of Rick and Morty Fame Draws $15,000 Bid on eBay", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-08-11T17:42:35.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-ebay-rick-and-morty/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-ebay-rick-and-morty/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T06:34:12.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Discontinued McDonald's Sauce of Rick and Morty Fame Draws $15,000 Bid on eBay", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2015/08/rick-and-morty.jpg", "width": 400, "height": 300, "caption": "rick and morty" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Trautwein", "url": "https://money.com/author/catherine-trautwein/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/catherine-trautwein/#author" } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-08-11T17:42:35.000Z", "description": "A jug of discontinued McDonald's sauce often name-checked on Adult Swim series Rick and Morty just went for more than $15,000 on eBay", "abstract": "A jug of discontinued McDonald's sauce often name-checked on Adult Swim series Rick and Morty just went for more than $15,000 on eBay", "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-sauce-ebay-rick-and-morty/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-17T06:34:12.000Z", "wordCount": 295, "keywords": [ "Mcdonald's", "onetime", "Rick and Morty" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Television", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television" ] } ] } ] } ```
