McDonald's Customers Notice Big Change In Beloved Snack Wraps
Yes, snack wraps are back, but not all loyal McDonald's customers are entirely happy about it. The popular menu item made its way back to menus on July 10, a long-awaited return that was first teased by McDonald's social media accounts in April. However, consumers recently noticed a big change to the snack wraps—and, apparently, it's not for the better. The fast food restaurant currently sells the Ranch Snack Wrap (a comeback menu item) and the Spicy Snack Wrap (a new offering). Reddit users spotted a taste difference, however, since the snack wrap was previously placed on menus."They aren't as good as they were before," one Reddit user wrote. "Main points I took away is that the Ranch one still has the same taste, but the chicken tenders they used to use were 100x better. Now, it's more of a chicken finger/strip type of deal and it just isn't the same." Turns out, other customers noticed the difference as well, citing that "the new strips don't have as much crunchy breading." According to McDonald's website, the menu item does include the McCrispy Strips that returned in May 2025 after a ten year hiatus. The snack wrap additionally includes shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, a soft tortilla, and a creamy Ranch sauce. In the original Snack Wrap, McDonald's offered their grilled or crispy chicken breast. RELATED: Yet, the protein change isn't all customers are focused on. Others are upset over the price, citing that it's anywhere between $6 and $8 for two wraps, depending on the state. "$6 for two wraps is criminal," a Reddit user posted. "I remember when these were a dollar in 2007," one commenter said. "They also had the sweet tea along with them!" Customers claimed that they visit other fast food restaurants instead, such as In-N-Out, because they've now found them to "be cheaper than McD's." "If I'm going to spend $12 plus for a McDonald's meal, I'd rather spend $20 and get better quality food," another social media commenter added. Despite the price being high for some fans, a similar menu item may actually cost more at other chains. For example, Arby's Ranch Chicken Wrap costs $3.69, which is 70 cents higher than McDonald' Customers Notice Big Change In Beloved Snack Wraps first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 14, 2025

Taco Bell Just Secretly Dropped a Cheesy New Menu Item and Fans Say It's 'Amazing'
Taco Bell has no shortage of menu announcements. The fast food chain has already launched five new menu items this year, like the Loaded Steak & Jalapeño Topped Fries, announced a new Crispy Chicken Taco, and even dropped a new collaboration with Tony Hawk. Now, there's a cheesy menu item in town—but it's only available in select locations. Taco Bell is testing out the $7 Steak & Cheese Tacodilla, which has recently been spotted by customers on social media. The menu item has even made its way to the chain's main website, with the ingredients including a corn and flour shell, marinated steak, mozzarella, pepper jack, cheddar cheese, and "a new bold and savory red chile sauce."Taco Bell originally revealed the news of the Tacodilla at the Live Más Live 2025 event, along with 12 other menu items spanning from sauces to desserts (such as a Purple Chile Sauce, Crispy Fajitas, Mexican Pizza Empanada, and more). According to AllRecipes, the test kitchen brought the Tacodilla to life on June 17. It's currently available in select Detroit, Michigan locations for a limited-time. Customers are particularly excited about the launch, with Reddit thread users describing the meal as "amazing," adding that they "hope these go nationwide." A second Reddit thread commenter cited the Tacodilla as "huge and pretty good," advising Taco Bell visitors to order it with extra sauce. Related: "The shell was both soft and a little crispy with a little chew…I would absolutely get it again," this Facebook user wrote. You can order the Tacodilla on its own, or as part of the Steak & Cheese Tacodilla Combo, which consists of the Tacodilla, a large fountain drink, and chips with nacho cheese sauce. With a slew of tested menu items yet to see the light of day, we certainly don't expect this latest kitchen innovation to be the last.

Who has the best chicken tenders? We ranked 6 top fast-food brands.
Burgers might be the reigning kings of fast-food dining, but in recent years, chicken has been taking a big (s)wing at the throne. To keep up with customers' seemingly insatiable demand for breaded bird, last week, McDonald's introduced its latest iteration of crispy chicken strips. The strips are made with actual pieces of chicken, unlike its classic nuggets, which are made from a paste-like product fried in a tempura batter. Changes at the nation's far-and-away biggest chain don't come lightly, and company executives said it's the first new permanent menu item to debut in the United States since 2021.
