Yes, after nearly a decade of McDespair, the Snack Wrap has officially re-entered the chat. Starting Thursday, July 10, McDonald’s is blessing its U.S. menus with the long-awaited return of the cult-favorite that disappeared way back in the culinary dark ages of 2016. And folks, people “did not” take that loss lightly.
The McDonald’s Snack Wrap isn’t just food. It’s an emotion. A bite-sized bundle of crispy chicken, lettuce, cheese, and just enough tortilla to make it portable.
It’s the thing that got you through late-night drives, study sessions, and “I only have five minutes to eat” moments. And now it’s back — wrapped, loaded, and ready to be devoured by a nation that’s been “not-so-patiently” waiting.
This time around, the Snack Wrap gets a glow-up. It’ll feature McDonald’s new McCrispy Strips — launched just this spring — and your choice of spicy or ranch flavor. Whether you’re into the heat or keeping it cool, the wrap’s got you. Plus, you can grab it solo or go full feast mode with the combo: two wraps, fries, and a drink.
The anticipation? “Insane”. Social media’s been buzzing since the cryptic hints started back in April — McDonald’s dropped a not-so-subtle “0x.14.2025” teaser online, which sent wrap-heads (yes, they’re a thing) into a frenzy.
And when CEO Chris Kempczinski himself popped into an Instagram video with the dramatic “It’s back,” fans knew it was “go time”.
Let’s talk numbers: thousands of tweets, memes, TikToks, and even actual petitions begged for this return. McDonald’s U.S.
President Joe Erlinger said it best — this snack had a “cult following.” And honestly? He’s not wrong. People wrote “emails” to corporate over this thing. Emails. That’s real dedication in a world of 8-second attention spans.
In a cheeky post on X, McDonald’s even gave a corporate hall pass to snack-hungry workers: “Heard HR say if ur late to work tomorrow bc u got the first snack wrap at 10:31am ur good.”
So whether you’re skipping breakfast, canceling lunch plans, or suddenly feeling “too busy” to make dinner — the Snack Wrap is waiting. And this time, McDonald’s says it’s staying on the menu “as long as you keep enjoying it.”
