What's in a Snack Wrap? When do they come back? McDonald's hints at cult favorite's return date

The Burger Beast food reviewer purchased the three-piece combo for $4.99 and the four-piece for $5.99. However, prices will vary by market.
McDonald's has been coy about revealing when its fan-favorite Snack Wraps will return. The chain's latest clue dropped on social media was "0x.14.2025," hinting that the wraps would return before October at the latest.
McDonald's Snack Wrap debuted in 2006, USA TODAY reports, before being discontinued in 2016. Some restaurants continued to serve it until 2020. That's when it was removed from the menu to simplify McDonald's offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Food Network.
The basic Snack Wrap is a chicken breast with lettuce, cheese and sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla, per the Food Network.

The Snack Wrap isn't the only fan-favorite returning to McDonald's menus in 2025.
In an earnings call in February, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said that the company is setting its sights on expanding chicken offerings in its stores and wants to "increase its market share in the chicken category by the end of 2026," according to Quartz.
'We'll continue to roll out the McCrispy, and there's incredible energy around the return of Snack Wraps in the U.S., alongside new offerings like chicken strips and the limited-time Chicken Big Mac,' Kempczinski said in the call. He hinted that customers could expect the new items to "come online later in the year.'
Other items like the Chicken Big Mac proved to be successful enough to help McDonald's chicken market share in the U.S. and France. Kempczinski noted that McDonald's plans to continue rolling out the Chicken Big Mac as a limited-time offering, TODAY reports.
There are 613 McDonald's restaurants in Ohio, according to the web scraping tool ScrapeHero. Only California, Texas, Florida and Illinois have more locations than Ohio.

McDonald's Snack Wrap is returning to U.S. menus. Here's what to know.
McDonald's Snack Wrap, a gone-but-not-forgotten customer favorite, is returning to the fast-food chain's restaurants in the U.S. after a nine-year hiatus. The popular sandwich will reappear on menus starting July 10, according to an announcement by the company on Tuesday in which Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald's USA, stated simply, "It's back." Consisting of a white-flour tortilla filled with chicken, shredded lettuce and cheese, the Snack Wrap was introduced nearly two decades ago. However, the item was removed from McDonald's menus in 2016 because it was too complicated for its kitchens to prepare. Customers have been calling for the Snack Wrap's return ever since. In announcing the Snack Wrap's return, the company included a link to a webpage called which it describes as a "content hub for the most anticipated menu item of the decade." Featuring Snack Wrap wallpaper as its background, the promotional webpage includes various large folders users can click into. A folder entitled "Fandom," for example, houses screenshots of social media posts from Snack Wrap fans expressing their love for the food and asking when it would be returned to McDonald's menus. In one email, entitled "Snack Wraps for this Pregnant Lady," a McDonald's customer named Carli writes "my biggest craving is something I can't have. I am due July 14th, 2025. Will snack wraps be back before then? Please just give me a hint." "I've waited years and I'm getting mildly impatient" wrote another fan called "loyal snack wrap lover." Another, more proactive display of loyalty included a petition to bring back the Snack Wrap. The petition garnered nearly 19,000 signatures. Bringing back the wrap was a "years-long process," Erlinger told The Associated Press. In its revived form, the Snack Wrap will feature fried chicken and come in two flavors: Ranch and Spicy. This is a departure from the original version, which included a choice of grilled or fried chicken and sauce options like honey mustard and sweet chili. The simplified recipe is to ensure faster service, according to the company. The company has not revealed how much the Snack Wrap will cost, only that prices will vary depending on location. McDonald's also posted on the Snack Wrap's on its X account, thanking ardent fans for resurrecting the long-lost menu item. Breaking the fourth wall, the social media manager behind the McDonald's account addressed followers directly, reminding them that "social media managers don't control the menu," but rather its the fans who are to thank for the Snack Wrap's revival. Stated the post, "you created a movement. a movement so powerful that you finally won." Sneak peek: Where is Jermain Charlo?
