Snack Wraps Are Back — And Honestly, It’s About Time
By: MD EMRAN KHAN, July 2025
Let me start with this: I don’t cry at movies. But last week, when I saw that familiar crispy-chicken-in-a-tortilla image in a leaked TikTok video from a McDonald’s in Columbus, Ohio? I may have teared up. Just a little.
Because yeah — Snack Wraps are making a comeback.
And if you’re anything like me (a full-grown adult who still romanticizes McDonald’s 2000s menu), this is major.
Wait, didn’t they get rid of these?
Yup. Back in 2016, McDonald’s officially pulled Snack Wraps off the national menu. Why?
“Operational complexity,” they said. Translation: too much of a pain to make during rush hour.
Since then, fans have been begging. Tweeting. Petitioning. Posting nostalgic memes of sad wrap-less meals. And for a while? Nada. Zilch.
But now? They’re testing wraps again.
In select McDonald’s locations across the U.S. — including parts of Ohio, Arizona, and Georgia — the Snack Wrap is back on the menu. Quietly. Soft launch style. No flashy ads. Just… wrap and see.
(If you’re in Toledo right now, please go order two and send pics. We’re starving.)
Why does this matter?
Because fast food has changed. Everyone’s trying to be health-conscious-ish. People want portable, not messy, not a 1500-calorie burger kinda lunch. And let’s be honest — the Snack Wrap was perfect for that.
It was the Goldilocks of McD’s:
-
Not too big.
-
Not too small.
-
Could eat it in a car with one hand while screaming into a Bluetooth call.
Tiny tip if you’re hunting for one:
Someone on Reddit mentioned the menu item shows up under “Chicken Snack Wrap – Limited Test” in the app. But it doesn’t appear unless you set your location to the test cities.
So yeah — change your zip code. Game the system. Hack your wrap.
My neighbor’s Snack Wrap saga
True story: My neighbor Jamie (works remote, huge foodie, drives a hybrid) actually drove two hours from Dayton to snag one in Columbus. He texted me a photo like it was a newborn baby.
Caption: “Crispy. Tangy. Worth it.”
He hasn’t smiled like that since the Bengals made the playoffs.
Real talk: This better not be temporary
McDonald’s, if you’re listening: don’t tease us. Don’t soft launch and ghost.
Because we are READY.
Ready to wrap again. To chase chicken dreams. To risk mayo on our work shirts.
Final Wrap-Up (pun intended)
If you’re lucky enough to live in a test city?
Go. Order. Report back.
If not? Change your app zip. Stalk Reddit. Manifest.
Because honestly? Snack Wraps are more than food.
They’re a vibe. And we’ve missed it.
