A Very Special Sauce

A two decade's old condiment was money in the bank for Mort Bank. The North Dakotan, formerly a McDonald's franchise owner, sold a gallon of McJordan BBQ sauce, circa 1992, on eBay for nearly $10K to an unknown man from Chicago. The item was on the site for several months, but the auction turned - as the sauce surely did years ago - when Banks added the "buy it now" option, boosting the bidding to ten times the amount of the old offers. Bank isn't revealing the gent's identity, but clearly the buyer is richer than the dressing he just dealt for.

We don't need a name, what he want to know is: does the fast food foodie still have the 20-year-old corresponding sandwich that he's been saving to complete the meal with?* We doubt he'll be dunking regular McNuggets in it^. If anything, to get his $9,995 worth, he'll be dipping gold nuggets.

*that burger has to have some serious freezer burn by now.

^for the authentic Michael Jordan eating experience, you have to "dunk" with your tongue dangling down towards your chin.
