‘Person behind McDonald's account' credits customers for Snack Wrap's return, leaves netizens in awe
McDonald's officially announced the return of Snack Wrap on Tuesday. The company revealed on X that the beloved item will be back on the menu on July 10. As fans rejoiced over the news, the company issued a lengthy statement, crediting customers for the feat.
Snack Wrap was first introduced in 2006. Its key ingredients at the time were grilled or crispy chicken breast meat, lettuce, cheese, and sauce. Despite its popularity, the wrap was phased out nationally in 2016, according to the Food Network.
As the iconic item will be back by popular demand next month, McDonald's thanked its customers for their unwavering support. 'I don't usually do this, and i didn't run this by brian from legal (sorry brian). but i have something to say. not as mcdonald's but as the person behind the mcdonald's account,' the fast-food chain wrote on X.
The person who handles McDonald's social media went on to say, 'I once posted, 'social media managers don't control the menu.' as much as i hated admitting it at the time, it's true,' adding, 'I couldn't bring it back. You know who could bring it back? YOU.'
'YOU commented under every post. YOU made petitions. YOU asked for it back in the DRIVE THRU!? YOU tweeted every day for 100 days straight. YOU rallied. you organized. and i saw it all. thanks to you, the Snack Wrap will be back,' McDonald's continued.
The company employee thanked customers for creating a 'movement so powerful that you finally won.' 'From the bottom of my heart, thank you. today, i woke up with an even greater feeling of gratitude and pride. because finally after 9 years, i get to announce the day the Snack Wrap returns.'
In addition to the highly anticipated return of the Snack Wrap, the lengthy message from McDonald's X handle left netizens in awe. 'This is honestly one of the most wholesome, hilarious, and heartfelt announcements ever!' one user said.
Several others echoed similar sentiments, praising the heartfelt message from the company. 'This is beautiful. I just shed a tear,' one more fan said, while another noted, 'This is so sincere I love it.'

McDonald's downgraded amid Ozempic craze - investors worry fast food losing charm, stock under pressure
McDonald's stock was downgraded by analysts following concerns that weight-loss drugs like Ozempic could curb fast-food demand. Analysts suggested that these drugs, which reduce appetite, might lead to a significant drop in customer visits, potentially costing the company millions in revenue. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Equity Firm Downgrades McDonald's Stock How GLP-1 Medications Could Disrupt Fast Food Demand McDonald's Potential Revenue Losses and Customer Visit Declines Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Inflation Adds Fuel to McDonald's Challenges Not Many Americans Are Using These Drugs Yet FAQs McDonald's faced a rough day on Wall Street Tuesday as shares dipped 1.7%, shaken by growing concerns that popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic could seriously cut into the fast food giant's business, as per a analysis firm Redburn Atlantic lowered its rating on McDonald's stock by two notches from 'buy' to 'sell,' warning that the widespread use of GLP-1 drugs, which curb appetite and help regulate blood sugar, may change how Americans eat, potentially leading to a drop in millions of visits to McDonald's every year, as per CBS Redburn analysis described GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy as "demand disruptors" for restaurants like McDonald's , as they reduce consumers' appetites and limit the number of calories they consume each day, reported CBS News. Analysts wrote that, "These features of the drugs could have serious implications for the restaurant industry," according to the READ: YouTube loosens content rules, says freedom of expression can outweigh harm—controversial videos may return Analysts Chris Luyckx and Edward Lewis estimated that McDonald's could lose up to 28 million customer visits annually, resulting in nearly $482 million in lost revenue, roughly 0.9% of the company's sales, according to the concern is that GLP-1 drugs may shift eating habits, especially among lower-income consumers, who are the fast food chain's target market and who might cut back on dining out and keep those new habits long-term, as per CBS analysts pointed out that the "Behaviour changes extend beyond the individual user — reshaping group dining, influencing household routines and softening habitual demand. A 1% drag today could easily build to 10% or more over time, particularly for brands skewed toward lower income consumers or group occasions," quoted CBS to the pressure, rising prices and inflation might make it even harder for McDonald's to maintain its appeal to its customers, as per the report. The analysts highlighted that, "Consumers are showing clear signs of pricing fatigue after years of aggressive menu inflation," adding, "Although the gap between eating out and at home has narrowed, it remains historically wide, reinforcing value concerns," quoted CBS the adoption of the GLP-1 drugs has yet to reach a wider audience, as only 12% of Americans have tried the drugs, and currently just 6% of the adult population uses them, as per the the managing director and restaurant and food distributors analyst at BTIG global financial services, Peter Saleh said, "I don't think there would be a meaningful GLP-1 impact on McDonald's right now, but that's not to say that in three or four years that won't be the case," adding, "I just don't think we are there yet," quoted CBS medications that help regulate blood sugar and suppress appetite, often used for weight loss, as per to $482 million a year, according to some analysts.
