McDonald's Snack Wrap frenzy leads to lettuce shortage

McDonald's brought back the popular Snack Wrap as it suffers sagging sales in the U.S.

They’re lovin’ it. Too much.

Some McDonald’s restaurants faced a brief shortage of lettuce after the fast-food giant brought back its Snack Wraps on July 10.

The lack of leaves is now resolved. The company had followed typical projections for ingredient supplies but, the company said, Snack Wrap-starved customers “showed up in full force.”

“We’ve been blown away by the response, from packed restaurants with lines out the door to nonstop social buzz,” a McDonald’s spokesperson said.

The Snack Wrap is comprised of chicken strips, lettuce and cheese, wrapped in a tortilla.
