A 16-year-old girl allegedly stabbed another teenage girl to death in Washington, D.C., early Sunday, police said. The stabbing happened during an argument over McDonald's sauces, CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reported.

Naima Liggon, 16, was brought to a local hospital where she died of her wounds, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

According to police, the teens — both from Waldorf, Maryland — had ordered food at a D.C. McDonald's and then got in a car together, CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reported. The two then got into an argument over the sauces they had been given, which led to the stabbing, WUSA reported.

"Their sweet and sour is just plum sauce and mustard, Naima.."

Buy plum sauce. Buy mustard. Mix it. Congrats, you've got sauce

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Imagine throwing your life away and killing another person… over free packets of sauce that they’ll just give to you if you ask.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

I thought it was about which sauce was the best of something.
Like, it's clearly the Big Mac sauce and I will die on that hi... 🔪

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if it was the last one, and the stabber really really liked it?

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Um, okay. There must be more to this.

There is, but it boils down to "they were stupid and self-centered little shits who weren't raised right".

Our obsession in this culture with "motive" belies the fact that some people are just fucking dipshit assholes who ruin things for the rest of us. And we enable them.

Not really related to McDonald's unless they added something in the sauce to make them so high

You clearly haven't dunked your nuggets in the Big Mac sauce.😋 /s

"The Szechuan sauce is the best sauce they ever made."

"You only think that because of Rick and Morty. Besides, it's clearly the BBQ."

Stabs them

[–] IIIIII@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Their sauce is to die for

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, that szechuan sauce must really be something.

[–] greavous@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are basic morons not the 'special' type that rick and morty brings out in people.

A show about a person who gets away with doing whatever deranged and horrible thing he wants to whomever he wants with no lasting consequences would bring out the worse in their fandom.

Hmm.

I half-jokingly suggested in another thread that PFAS and microplastics were making us all stupid, but... maybe they are?

no reason to blame the micro. macro economics shows we are actively dismantling our education system. so stupid is getting thicker, but its by design.
