How did they use it?
Social media monitoring was instrumental in McDonald’s decision to reintroduce its Szechuan sauce. The restaurant chain introduced the sauce in 1998 as a limited-edition. When the animated adult TV program “Rick and Morty” on Adult Swim praised the sauce, customers turned to social media to demand its reintroduction.
The fast-food chained quickly picked up on the interactions and In response, reintroduced the sauce but only for one day, Oct. 7, and at select restaurants. “Rick and Morty” fans reportedly waited in long lines and drove across state lines.
