The Big Mac Snack Wrap

All I can say is EWWWWWW....

Umm, do they think it is more healthy in a wrap? Lol...that is disgusting though.

Love your siggy...need to apply that to my life!

:drool:Looks yummy minus the tortilla of course:)

Hahaha... wow... that's an interesting idea. I'm not a big fan of Big Macs, but once they turn a Quarter Pounder into a wrap, I'll have to hold myself back from taking a trip to McD's.

I hate those. Not very tasty!!! Just not a big mac without the bun!!

I've been watching these go through testing in restaurant trade magazines. Interestingly, they are getting amazing reviews in the test markets. Looks pretty disgusting to me.

Yeah they aren't BAD, just not my cup of tea. In my opinion, a big mac just doesn't go well on a tortilla! However, I've never been a fan of the big mac! That could have something to do with it..... but my friends LOVE the big mac snack wrap!

I've never been a fan of the big mac but it doesn't look disgusting to me lol.

If they are trying to go healthy how about a whole wheat wrap geez... :p

I dunno...I'm not a huge fan of Big Mac's in general. Something about that dressing...ugh!

Now if Burger King were to come out with a snack wrap, I might be tempted (but I don't really eat fast food).

:rofl:
Yeah, it's in a WRAP so it MUST be healthy! I think I'll get one RIGHT NOW, eh!!!

O.M.G.

That was my thought as well. It's a marketing thing, and they're hoping that people WILL think it's healthier in a tortilla than in a bun. Yuck. I hate goopy burgers with all that junk on them, so I would hate it equally as much in a tortilla.

eww just the pic of that made me gag... all i could think of is that nasty sauce making the wrap all soggy and bleh... nasty

Slightly better (calorically) than the Big Mac (not enough to make it a health food). I do find wraps easier to eat, especially for holding lettuce onto a sandwhich, and don't find a tortilla any less apealing than a bun. In fact, generally I'd prefer the tortilla.

I have wrapped just about anything you can put between bread, roll or a bun on a tortilla, from time to time, for many years....looks fine to me.

I've got nothing against tortillas and I eat them all the time. But part of me wonders why restaurants have started to use the word "wrap" to describe the humble tortilla--why not call it what it is? Or is there really a difference? My aversion towards the product isn't the tortilla, it's the drippy, soggy, saucy, pickly stuff that makes a Big Mac a Big Mac that is inside the tortilla!

I thought today that I might make a chicken ceasar sandwich in a tortilla........grilled chicken, romaine, and some low-cal ceaser dressing . Maybe throw a slice of swiss in there. I think it sounds kinda good!

I have never had a Big Mac. I couldn't tell you if I like them or not. That thing, however, doesn't look all that great to me.

I think "wrap" is a more descriptive term than tortilla. Because tortilla refers to the bread, not how the bread is used/folded. It's not a burrito (though a buritto is a wrap). It's not a soft-shell taco (which I don't consider a wrap) or a quesadilla (defintely not a wrap). "Tortilla sandwhich," might give the impression that the filling is "sandwhiched" between two tortillas.

I do love the Big Mac "special sauce," but is it just me, or does it seem that they use about twice the amount they used to. I don't think it's "just me" (unless I've gotten alot clumsier) because I don't remember there being so much sauce that it got all over my hands. And I've noticed it in other restaurants too - even "good" restaurants that know better.

For example, whenever there's a sauce, I generally ask for it on the side, but last week, hubby and I went to lunch at a restaurant/microbrewery with a very good reputation. I ordered an appetizer as my entree, fish tacos. The description said "a touch" of homeade mayonaise, and it was served with two dipping sauces on the side (a habanero and a barbecue sauce). I thought that would mean that there was barely a smear of mayo on the tortillas. I debated whether to ask for the mayo on the side, and decided not to. Big mistake. They came to the table goopy with mayo, which I scraped off (which even scraping off what I could, still left what I expected to be on the tacos in the first place).

Even Big Macs can be ordered without the sauce, or with the sauce on the side, or light on the sauce (though that leaves the definition of "light" to the person making your sandwich).

That McGangBang sounds disgusting, too! It's funny, I've started eating burritos again. I will only eat them where I can get the nutritional info. Then I tear the thing open and eat the inside. Hmmm, may be I should just order beans on the side and forgo the tort, oh excuse me, the wrap altogether.

I haven't stepped foot in a McDonald's in over 10 years. Don't think I'll be going any time soon.

i would definitely not try that. sorry. but occasionally my hubby gets a Big Mac
Attack and HAS to have one.. i don't think he'd try the wrap either. it's just not the same.
I will however say that as disgusting as it sounds and looks the McGangBang sounded and looked good to me. I'm gross. lol. Still- I would never ever eat it.

Any time I've eaten McDonalds for dinner I wake up in the morning starving like I haven't eaten in two days. I don't know if it's just that it's nutritionally bankrupt, or something they put in it to make you hungrier or what- but I try to avoid them for that reason (as if there aren't a billion other reasons to)

Linguistic technicallity but wrap does not refer to the tortilla or flat bread itself, but rather to it's generic presentation (usually a type of flat bread sandwhich). The wrapper doesn't have to be a tortilla, it can be any flat bread, or even lettuce (as in viatnamese lettuce wraps).

If you eat the egg salad out of a sandwhich, you would be leaving the bread (not the sandwich) behind.

Likewise, if you eat the innards out of a burrito, you are leaving the tortilla (not the wrap) behind.

However, "forgoing the tortilla" or "forgoing the wrap" would both be correct linguistically. Just as "forgoing the sandwhich" or "forgoing the bread" would both be correct of you wished only to have the sandwhich filling (without the bread, it is no longer a sandwich, as just without the flat bread it wouldn't be a wrap).

Also, while wraps are usually made with flat bread, not all flat breads are tortillas (just as all sandwhiches are not made with white bread).

Tortillas, naan, roti, lefse, lavash, pancakes, crepes, and bing (the crepe or pancake eaten with Mu Shu and peking duck) could all be used as "wraps" (and
dozens of other flat breads).

Rice paper and lettuce can also be used as the wrapper in a wrap, so technically a wrap doesn't have to even be a bread.
