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'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...

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).

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.

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!
