When was the Snack Wrap discontinued?
The Snack Wrap first hit the McDonald's menu in 2006. Over the next decade, it appeared on the menu in several different iterations, according to the Food Network, 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."
"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 said.
What is in a McDonald's Snack Wrap?
The Snack Wrap features one of McDonald's new McCrispy Strips, topped with shredded lettuce and shredded cheese and wrapped in a soft flour tortilla, according to the chain.
McDonald's also adds new spicy breakfast items to 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.
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 McDonald's.
The new breakfast items dropped in stores on 8 and will be around for a limited time at participating locations, according to the fast food chain.
McDonald's launched the Egg McMuffin in 1975. The breakfast item was the brainchild of Herb Peterson, a McDonald's franchisee in Santa Barbara, California.

Heads up, Swifties! 'Taylor Watch' podcast returns after hiatus
What if we told you "Taylor Watch" − the Barstool Sports podcast centered around Taylor Swift − is back? On July 15, hosts Kelly Keegs and Gia Mariano returned to the airwaves following a month hiatus. "Oh, you thought you could kill us! Nice try, haters," Keegs boomed at the top of the two-hour YouTube video titled "Episode 152." "We have risen from the dead, we do it all the time," Mariano jumped in, quoting Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" lyric. The two hosts debuted a new logo in a "Folklore"-esque font surrounded by stars, a microphone and a clapboard. Whether a rebirth or a resurrection, Season 2 started with an explanation of what happened since the show was canceled on June 4. Last month, Keegs told USA TODAY that copyright issues ultimately prompted Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy to pull the plug. "If you have a business account, which 'Taylor Watch' does count as a business account, and we are using Taylor's music − technically, it could be said that we are using her music to promote our brand, which is not allowed." Keegs told podcast listeners. Portnoy texted Keegs and Mariano on July 7 renewing their contracts and saying they could bring back the podcast. "It was so out of the blue," Mariano said. "He made things right." "The past is the past and all we're thinking about is the future," Keegs said. Mariano explained the solution will be for "Taylor Watch" to stay away from copyrighted music and videos and steer toward posting reaction videos. The show will return to a twice-a-week format with new episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays to dish on Swift news, commentary and Easter egg theories. "It just feels like a clean slate, a fresh start all around," Keegs said. Don't miss any Taylor Swift news; sign up for the free, weekly newsletter This Swift Beat.

Chick-fil-A offers free food to game-playing fans
Most of us would lie to ourselves if we said we can resist a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich and crispy waffle fries drenched in multiple packs of Chick-fil-A sauce. Although quite tempting, the only thing stopping most of us from ordering it daily is having to pay, which is why Chick-fil-A has decided to take that burden off its fans' shoulders by giving out free food. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter For decades, popular fast-food chains like McDonald's (MCD) , Burger King (QSR) , and Wendy's (WEN) have catered to their younger audiences by implementing more marketing strategies aimed at children, such as offering kids' meals with toys and building playgrounds. Related: Chick-fil-A quietly launches unexpected new menu items However, due to the uncertain economy, which has caused a slowdown in consumer spending, parents are starting to cook at home more often to save money. This has led fast-food chains to devise new ways to keep consumers engaged with their brands. And kids are especially important customers, since chains know little ones can be more persuasive than senior-level salespeople. Chick-fil-A expanded its multimedia portfolio by launching the Chick-fil-A Play app in November last year to encourage family connections and bonding, boost customer engagement, and help them keep up with the latest trends. The Chick-fil-A Play app contains various forms of original multimedia content for parents and children to enjoy, including animated shows, podcasts, games, e-books, video-based recipes, and step-by-step crafts. Related: Chick-fil-A can't lose with latest unexpected innovation Because the app can be used anywhere and anytime, it keeps customers engaged with the brand even when they aren't dining at a Chick-fil-A location. This strategic move creates customer loyalty by fostering a positive association, encouraging families to choose Chick-fil-A over its competitors. Chick-fil-A announced it's bringing back its Code Moo in-app game on July 15 for the third year, offering fans more than just a fun way to pass the time. The app will release a new mission every Tuesday, allowing players the chance to win themed merchandise and weekly food rewards, such as free medium waffle fries, chocolate chunk cookies, and 5-count chicken nuggets until August 4.

The chicken chain launched its first line of merchandise in 2022 to boost brand visibility and generate extra revenue, marking a huge improvement from its plush cow in 1995.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte date keeps getting earlier. When might it come back for 2025?
It's not quite time to pull out the sweaters. We're only halfway through July. Still, thoughts of the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte start early in the year for hardcore Starbucks PSL fans. The drink was first introduced to Starbucks customers in 2003, according to the company, and has since become an iconic part of fall for many coffee drinkers. For the last 20 years, customers have eagerly awaited the return of the drink to Starbucks menus across the country, which usually happens at the end of August. While Starbucks has not officially announced the 2025 return date, USA TODAY looked back at when the drink became available in years past to see if we could make a guess. Here's an early look at when Starbucks' PSL might arrive this year. Here's when Starbucks has launched its fall menu, which includes the PSL, over the past seven years: Based on the trends above, the two most likely dates the Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available in 2025 are either Thursday, Aug. 21 or Tuesday, Aug. 26. The PSL is made with espresso and steamed milk with real pumpkin flavor, plus cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. The whipped cream topping also has pumpkin pie spices, the company says. You can order it hot, cold or blended. A typical Grande (16-ounce) PSL made with 2% milk, two espresso shots, milk foam and whipped cream has about 390 calories, 150 mg of caffeine and 14 grams of total fat.
