McDonald's Snack Wrap is back, and we tried it: Here's our review
An oldie but a goodie is officially back on the McDonald's menu. After months of teasing from McDonald's about the possible return of the Snack Wrap, the highly anticipated (and beloved) menu item was made available for purchase on July 10, after nearly a decade away. Snack Wraps, which come in either the "Spicy" or "Ranch" flavor, costs $2.99 a la carte but can be made into a combo meal consisting of two Snack Wraps, a medium fry and a drink of choice. And we, just like the rest of the U.S., were eager to try it. So, we did. A handful of USA TODAY reporters and video producers who tried the McDonald's Snack Wrap either again or for the first time, offered their thoughts and genuine reactions to the entrée on camera. Here's our review, including review and reactions from others who were equally as ecstatic about the Snack Wrap's return. Our review: McDonald's Snack Wrap is just OK The group who taste-tested McDonald's Snack Wrap have spoken, and the truth of the matter is that many people thought the entrée is just OK. But it did receive a stamp of approval from video producers Ariana Triggs and Christina Cardona. Julie Gomez, a trending reporter, was not as easily impressed, saying that she was disappointed by the lack of sauce, since the majority of the sauce that came in her Snack Wrap was located on the bottom, instead of being evenly spread throughout. "There's no difference to me," Gomez says. "That doesn't have any sauce. It's just chicken." Senior reporter Mike Snider, who ordered a "Spicy" Snack Wrap, said it was "pretty spicy" and ultimately better than he thought it would be. "It's pretty solid," Gabe Hauari, another trending reporter, told the camera. "The chicken is nice. The cheese and lettuce add a little bit of flavor and texture as well." Trending reporter Melina Khan, on the other hand, said that her Snack Wrap was "definitely tasty." "(It's) Definitely an easy thing to grab as a quick bite to eat if you're on the go or something like that," Khan said. McDonald's Snack Wraps are back. Are they healthy? Internet reacts to the return of the McDonald's Snack Wrap July 10 will forevermore be known as the day the Snack Wrap returned to McDonald's. (At least that's what everybody's been saying.) Most everyone who is talking about Snack Wraps on social media is itching to try it or are posting pictures once they've gotten it. A small minority were a little miffed that Honey Mustard was not among the Snack Wrap flavors released. The netizens have spoken and here's what they're saying about McDonald's "new" Snack Wrap: Contributing: Gabe Hauari, USA TODAY

Linda Yaccarino lost her blue checkmark… but now it's back
The verified badge disappeared from her handle @lindayaX sometime after her surprise exit from the company on Wednesday. As of around 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, Yaccarino's blue badge was back. It's unclear if she subscribes to X Premium. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The now-former CEO, who is also a "mom, foodie, fashion enthusiast," is still very active on the platform. On Thursday, Yaccarino celebrated the return of McDonald's Snack Wrap, cheered over Dolly Parton's appearance on Khloe Kardashian's podcast, and said she is "anxious to learn more" about geoengineering. Her departure came just one day after xAI's chatbot, Grok, posted antisemitic content and praised AdolfHitler's leadership on the social media platform. These posts have since been deleted, and Musk's company xAI said in a post that it has "taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X." Yaccarino did not disclose why she took the off-ramp as X's CEO but thanked Musk in a post on Wednesday morning for "two incredible years" with the company. Musk thanked her for her contributions in a reply but did not elaborate further. The missing verification was first noted by TechCrunch. According to the X Help Center, the platform "may remove the checkmark of an account at any time without notice." Musk tapped Yaccarino as CEO of X in May 2023, after snapping up the platform, then still called Twitter, in a $44 billion deal. The blue checkmark used to apply only to verified public figures and those with a record of published works, but it became a pay-to-play system when Musk took over. The badge can be obtained by subscribing to X Premium.

McDonald's says a meal will include two Snack Wraps, medium fries and a drink. There are 613 McDonald's restaurants in Ohio, according to the web scraping tool ScrapeHero.
