Snack Wrap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Snack Wrap is a menu item available at McDonald's in the United States and Canada. It consists of 100% white meat chicken breast (crispy or grilled), lettuce, shredded cheddar jack cheese, and sauce (ranch, honey mustard or salsa roja), wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. It was created to serve as a snack to satisfy hunger between meals. [1]
It was officially launched in the United States on July 1, 2006, and was initially only available with crispy chicken and ranch sauce. In early 2007, the option to substitute for grilled chicken and/or honey mustard sauce were made available. In some markets, salsa roja is also available. [2]
It is surmised that this menu item was introduced as a way to increase the company's sagging sales of Chicken Selects. It has also been surmised that the company introduced this menu item to take advantage of the growing demand for "snack-size", or smaller portion options.
