USA TODAY taste tests McDonald’s Snack Wraps
USA TODAY reporters and producers try McDonald’s Snack Wraps, back on the menu for the first time since 2016.
An oldie but a goodie is officially back on the McDonald’s menu.
After months of teasing from McDonald’s about the possible return of the Snack Wrap, the highly anticipated (and beloved) menu item was made available for purchase on July 10, after nearly a decade away.
Snack Wraps, which come in either the “Spicy” or “Ranch” flavor, costs $2.99 a la carte but can be made into a combo meal consisting of two Snack Wraps, a medium fry and a drink of choice.
And we, just like the rest of the U.S., were eager to try it. So, we did.
A handful of USA TODAY reporters and video producers who tried the McDonald’s Snack Wrap either again or for the first time, offered their thoughts and genuine reactions to the entrée on camera.
Here’s our review, including review and reactions from others who were equally as ecstatic about the Snack Wrap’s return.
Our review: McDonald’s Snack Wrap is just OK
The group who taste-tested McDonald’s Snack Wrap have spoken, and the truth of the matter is that many people thought the entrée is just OK. But it did receive a stamp of approval from video producers Ariana Triggs and Christina Cardona.
Julie Gomez, a trending reporter, was not as easily impressed, saying that she was disappointed by the lack of sauce, since the majority of the sauce that came in her Snack Wrap was located on the bottom, instead of being evenly spread throughout.
“There’s no difference to me,” Gomez says. “That doesn’t have any sauce. It’s just chicken.”
Senior reporter Mike Snider, who ordered a “Spicy” Snack Wrap, said it was “pretty spicy” and ultimately better than he thought it would be.
“It’s pretty solid,” Gabe Hauari, another trending reporter, told the camera. “The chicken is nice. The cheese and lettuce add a little bit of flavor and texture as well.”
Trending reporter Melina Khan, on the other hand, said that her Snack Wrap was “definitely tasty.”
“(It’s) Definitely an easy thing to grab as a quick bite to eat if you’re on the go or something like that,” Khan said.
Internet reacts to the return of the McDonald’s Snack Wrap
July 10 will forevermore be known as the day the Snack Wrap returned to McDonald’s. (At least that’s what everybody’s been saying.)
Most everyone who is talking about Snack Wraps on social media is itching to try it or are posting pictures once they’ve gotten it. A small minority were a little miffed that Honey Mustard was not among the Snack Wrap flavors released.
The netizens have spoken and here’s what they’re saying about McDonald’s “new” Snack Wrap:
