Whenever a new fast-food wrap comes out the fire for the Snack Wrap seems to be reignited.
Could the new Wendy’s wrap inspire McDonald’s to bring the discontinued item back?
I enlisted one other fast-food fan to help me test out the new items.

Here’s what we thought.
We Tried McDonald’s, Burger King, & Wendy’s Signature Burgersand This One Is Still the Winner!
The look:This wrap looks like something I’d throw together with leftover grilled chicken.

It looks homemade, but not in a good way.
It hardly qualifies as a meal.
The taste:In a word: meh.

We were not impressed with this wrap.
This wrap suffered from the common issue that many wraps have, which is inconsistency.
The ingredients were not mixed together well, so the bites varied.

The ranch dressing wasn’t spread around enough, resulting in dry bites of tortilla.
The chicken tasted great and was very tender and flavorfulthe saving grace of this sandwich.
Show us the sauce, Wendy’s!

However, it still would have been a bit bland.
What it really needed was some of the salad’s delicious bacon.
Cobb Salad
Wendy’s is one of the few big chains that still offers salad.
My other taster has frequently ordered Wendy’s salads and considers them the best in fast food.
Most other spots have dropped them so it is refreshing that a healthier option is still available.
I say healthier because using all the dressing can make these salads fat bombs.
Plus, the salad only has one more gram of fiber than the burger.
It is, however, lower in carbs.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
The look:This salad was gorgeous for a fast-food salad.
Every ingredient was in its respective corner, like a restaurant cobb salad.
I liked how the bacon was left in strips, it added a high-end look.
The taste:Delicious!
Wendy’s has redeemed itself from the depressing Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap.
The ranch sauce, too mild for the wrap, brought everything together in the salad.
We only realized the day after that we didn’t get the crispy onionsand we didn’t miss them.
Blueberry Pomegranate Lemonade
The newblueberry- and pomegranate-spiked lemonadeis fresh and fruitya perfect spring beverage.
The look:A pleasing hazy blueish-purple color with bits of fruit at the bottom.
It looks like homemade lemonade, not a hyper-color sugary drink with fake colors.
But it should be afraid of the salads and lighter options that Wendy’s is still offering.
