Popeyes sparks war with McDonald's as snack wrap release announced
Share this @internewscast.com

Popeyes is stepping up its game by adding Chicken Wraps to its menu this week, just as McDonald’s has finally confirmed the return date for the fan-favorite Snack Wrap.

Popeyes’ Chicken Wraps come with lettuce, shredded cheese, and pickles with a choice of Classic, Spicy, or Honey Mustard sauce.  

‘We wanted to create a Chicken Wrap that was undeniably Popeyes,’ said the chain’s VP of Culinary Innovation Amy Alarcon.

The wraps, available for a limited time, include nearly every ingredient one sees on McDonald’s beloved Snack Wraps.

The McDonald’s item had been a longtime fan favorite item that customers have been waiting for since its 2016 discontinuation.

The item, which came with the choice of ranch or honey mustard, was made of grilled or crispy chicken, lettuce, and shredded cheese.

McDonald’s announced on Tuesday that the beloved wrap, available with either spicy or ranch spread, will be making its comeback at select locations starting July 10.

While countless customers are buzzing about McDonald’s Snack Wraps reappearance, Popeyes has been subtly signaling its plans to outshine the competition in the fast food arena.

Popeyes began its quest on May 30 by mimicking a cryptic X post McDonald’s made in April.

McDonald’s wrote ‘Snack wraps 0x14.2025,’ making customers believe they would return on the 14th of a month this year.

The chicken chain responded on May 30 with ‘chicken wraps 0x.02.2025,’ which signaled the item would appear in two days on June 2. 

Popeyes also responded to this morning’s Snack Wrap announcement from McDonald’s by writing ‘… y’all good?.’

The brand poked fun at the length of the McDonald’s social media announcement, writing: ‘i ain’t reading all that – i’m happy for u tho – or sorry that happened.’

As of now, McDonald’s has yet to clap back, but its fans were more than thrilled to finally learn the Snack Wrap’s release date.

Popeyes fans were also excited to try one of its Chicken Wraps and were intrigued by the chains’ relationship.

‘Popeyes and McDonalds beefing was not on my bingo card,’ an X user wrote.

The battle between McDonald’s and Popeyes is nothing new in the fast food world.

The restaurant chains challenged one another back in 2019 during the early years of the chicken sandwich wars.

Popeyes had already been in a battle with Chick-fil-A over the brands’ chicken sandwiches. McDonald’s took it to another level by launching a Spicy BBQ Chicken Sandwich.

Fast-forward five years into the future, and both restaurant chains are going head-to-head in $5 Meal Deals.

McDonald’s is still looking to outdo Popeyes in the chicken category and is currently working on three C-suite roles to analyze menu items in three categories: beef, chicken, and beverages and desert.

While the two are competing, McDonald’s and Popeyes have one thing in common: low first quarter sales this year.

Popeyes’ same-store sales dropped 4 percent, while McDonald’s US sales fell by 3.6 percent.

The restaurant chains have not let slipping sales drag them down and, like other fast food brands, are continuing to fight for top dollar.
