Wrap battle as McDonald's brings back fan favourite to rival Popeyes
The fast-food chain teased the return of the Snack Wrap, initially hinting at July 14, 2025, before confirming the earlier date.
The Snack Wrap, which includes grilled or crispy chicken, lettuce, shredded cheese, and ranch or honey mustard in a tortilla, was first introduced in 2006 and boosted sales.
Popeyes announced the addition of crispy chicken wraps to their menu starting Monday, available in classic, spicy, and honey mustard flavors for $3.99 each.
McDonald's USA president Joe Erlinger confirmed the Snack Wrap's return in 2025, citing its 'cult following' and numerous customer requests.

Disney adults are now GLAMPING on the Orlando theme park property… and the price tag is staggering
If you asked a Disney adult how much they love the theme parks, they would probably say that they would live there. And, as it turns out, they kind of can. Because The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort are now available at the park's famous campground. Dubbed Disney's most natural setting, Fort Wilderness stretches across 750 acres of pine and cypress trees. It's been around since 1971 and offers everything from tent sites to RV hookups. The new cabins feature air conditioning, soft beds and Disney-themed drape. The amenities also include floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, plush queen beds, full kitchen, and even sleeping-bag-style blankets on the bunk beds. There are also walk-in showers and sleek wood finishes picked out by Disney Imagineers. The 'glamping' aspect of these cabins isn't just reflected in the design - because it also translates to the price. The new Fort Wilderness cabins are part of the Disney Vacation Club, but if you're not a member, you can still book one for $469 a night on average. There are more than 350 of these luxe cabins in the works. However, the glamping experience doesn't just stop inside the cabin. Each night, guests can catch a campfire singalong (complete with a Chip and Dale meet-and-greet), roast s'mores using Disney-branded kits, and watch a movie under the stars. For those who want to lean into other camp-like activities, there is also the opportunity to go fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, and archery - although these experiences are not included in the nightly rate. In terms of food, the campground has grocery 'trading posts,' fast-casual dining, and the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue dinner theater, which just celebrated its 50th birthday. Each cabin sleeps up to six people and even allows pets. The Donnelly's - a family that vlogs about their life on YouTube to their one million followers - recently stayed at the cabin and documented their experience. The self-proclaimed 'Disney nerds and fanatics' enjoyed arts and crafts, riding around the campground in a golf cart, and spending quality family time together. The family of four even ventured outside of the cabins to check out the trading post, where they bought 'tiny foods.' Like many other Disney families that choose to go glamping, the Donnelly's enjoyed the quaint experience being only a short stop away from their favorite theme park.

Trump's planned 100% computer chip tariff sparks confusion among businesses and trading partners
President Donald Trump 's plans for 100% tariffs on computer chips that aren't made in the U.S. are stoking confusion among businesses and trading partners — boosting stocks for leading semiconductor companies while leaving smaller producers scrambling to understand the implications. The U.S. imports a relatively small number of chips because most of the foreign-made chips in a device — from an iPhone to a car — were already assembled into a product, or part of a product, before it landed in the country. "The real question everybody in the industry is asking is whether there will be a component tariff, where the chips in a device would require some sort of separate tariff calculation,' said Martin Chorzempa, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Trump said Wednesday that companies that "made a commitment to build" in the U.S. would be spared the import tax, even if they are not yet producing those chips in American factories. 'We'll be putting a tariff of approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors,' Trump said in the Oval Office while meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook. 'But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge.' Wall Street investors interpreted that as good news not just for U.S. companies like AMD, Intel and Nvidia, but also for the biggest Asian chipmakers like Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company that have been working to build U.S. factories. But it left greater uncertainty for smaller chipmakers in Europe and Asia that have little exposure to the AI boom but still make semiconductors inserted into essential products like cars or washing machines. These producers "probably aren't large enough to get on the map for an exemption and quite probably wouldn't have the kind of excess capital and margins to be able to add investment at a large scale into the United States,' Chorzempa said. The announcement came more than three months after Trump temporarily exempted most electronics from his administration's most onerous tariffs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a shortage of computer chips increased the price of autos and contributed to higher inflation. Chorzempa said chip tariffs could again raise prices by hundreds of dollars per vehicle if the semiconductors inside a car are not exempt. 'There's a chip that allows you to open and close the window," Chorzempa said. "There's a chip that is running the entertainment system. There is a chip that's kind of running all the electronics. There are chips, especially in EVs, that are doing power management, all that kind of stuff.' Much of the investment into building U.S. chip factories began with the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act that President Joe Biden signed into law in 2022, providing more than $50 billion to support new computer chip plants, fund research and train workers for the industry. Trump has vocally opposed those financial incentives and taken a different approach, betting that the threat of dramatically higher chip costs would force most companies to open factories domestically, despite the risk that tariffs could squeeze corporate profits and push up prices for electronics.

Vice President Vance reacts to his depiction on South Park
JD Vance reacted on X to a South Park episode that parodied the administration, stating, 'Well, I've finally made it.' The episode depicted a mini-version of the vice president serving the president, who was shown in bed with Satan. It also featured a parody of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, known for shooting her dog, and Cartman imitating a conservative activist. The plot involved Mr Mackey joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to a raid on heaven and his invitation to Mar-a-Lago. The show's mockery follows a previous exchange where South Park sarcastically responded to a DHS post using their image and a White House statement questioning the show's relevance.
