The wait is over.
After months of teasing from McDonald’s, on Thursday, July 10, the Snack Wrap was finally made available to its legion of fans.
The Snack Wrap is available in two flavors:
- Spicy: The Spicy Snack Wrap brings the heat with a habanero kick that fans know and love from the Spicy McCrispy sandwich.
- Ranch: The Ranch Snack Wrap delivers a satisfying burst of cool ranch goodness, with hints of garlic and onion.
As USA Today reports, the Snack Wrap is available a la carte or as a combo meal, which includes two Snack Wraps, a medium fry and a drink of choice. The item costs $2.99 a la carte. Customers can order the Snack Wrap after breakfast hours. Breakfast hours differ by McDonald’s location, although most locations typically stop serving breakfast at 10:30 or 11 a.m. local time.
The History of the Snack Wrap
Can you believe that the Snack Wrap first hit the McDonald’s menu almost twenty years ago… in 2006?! According to the Food Network, over the next decade, it appeared on the menu in several different iterations, but with the same main ingredients of chicken breast meat (grilled or crispy), lettuce, cheese and sauce in a soft flour tortilla.
According to McDonald’s, the Snack Wrap was phased out nationally in 2016, but it “never left fans’ hearts.” A statement from McDonald’s reads, “From countless social media posts to full-fledged petitions, they never gave up on their favorite menu item. They’re the ones who inspired us to make its return to the menu happen.”
McDonald’s is Also Spicing Up their Breakfast Menu
In addition to the Snack Wrap, McDonald’s has unveiled a series of new options to “spice up” its breakfast menu as part of the chain’s 50th anniversary celebrations for the McMuffin. (McDonald’s first launched the Egg McMuffin in 1975. The breakfast item was the brainchild of Herb Peterson, a McDonald’s franchisee in Santa Barbara, California.)
The three new spicy breakfast menu items include the Spicy McMuffin, Spicy Sausage McMuffin and Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg. The items feature the traditional ingredients of cheese, egg, Canadian bacon or sausage and a buttered English muffin, but are topped with a new Spicy Pepper Sauce, according to the fast food chain. The new spicy menu items are said to only be available for a limited time, so you’d best get to Mickey D’s ASAP if you want to get your hands on one.
