The Discontinued McDonald's Snack We Aren't Getting Back
By Stacie Adams
McDonald’s snack wraps have been off the menu since 2016, and though requests to bring them back still persist today, they don’t seem to plan on reintroducing them anytime soon.
In a petition on Change.org that features 17,785 signatures, both the healthiness of the item and its convenience are cited as major reasons to bring it back.
However, snack wraps take multiple steps to make, which doesn’t align with McDonald’s streamlined approach to serve as many customers as possible.
Additionally, despite the furor surrounding snack wraps now, they were not one of McDonald’s most popular items, so they were nixed to help prevent food waste and lackluster sales.
However, Canadian McDonald’s has a variety of snack wrap flavors, the UK chains have Big Flavour Wraps, and Wendy’s offers a strikingly similar item.
