Burger King and Wendy’s are trying to start the chicken wrap wars. But their messy meals made us yearn for the return of McDonald’s iconic snack wraps.

• McDonald’s removed snack wraps from the menu in 2016 because they were too complicated to make. 
• Wendy’s and Burger King launched this year copycats of the iconic McDonald’s chicken wraps.
• I tried the four new wraps. Wendy’s was the best, but it fell apart as did the Burger King wraps.

McDonald’s restaurants in the US ditched snack wraps in 2016. Seven years later, the burger chain’s arch rivals, Burger King and Wendy’s, are filling the chicken wrap gap with their own versions.

Burger King debuted three snack-wrap-style chicken wraps in August, while Wendy’s debuted a grilled chicken ranch wrap in March. Both chains poked at McDonald’s when Insider asked about their motivation for debuting the wraps.

Burger King told Insider its BK Royal Crispy Wraps provide menu options that customers “can’t get anywhere else.”

Wendy’s was less subtle. “We’re always listening to our fans, and we knew our fans were looking for lighter and more portable menu items that were anything but McBland.”

I set out to see if these wraps would fill the void left by the McDonald’s snack wrap. Here’s what I discovered.
