Aliens Want Szechuan Sauce

Aliens: we come in peace Chinese: I wonder what these things taste like. McDonald's: szechuan sauce

An alien raises a hand and says, “we come in peace,” while a man in a yellow shirt says he wonders what the aliens taste like. The punchline is the darkly absurd twist that the “Chinese” man is thinking of eating the aliens, followed by a reference to McDonald’s Szechuan sauce. It is used as an absurd reaction to suggest hunger, cannibalistic thoughts, or an unexpectedly intense interest in food.
