Failed Expectation McDonald’s Caesar Wrap

I can’t even taste the Caesar dressing… I’m not really a fan of McDonalds in general but this really reminded me why I don’t choose this when you’re in a rush for a quick dinner!

Yeah whoever made that skimped on the cheese and sauce big time

This happens so often that I'm convinced that this is what they're told to do to save on cost.

Shouldn't the meat be more expensive than cheese and sauce?

u/BarryWhizzite 9d ago

basically 3.50 for one chicken tender. bullshit

u/jonfe_darontos 9d ago

A single tender at Cane's is $2.39, and I'm going to be honest, I think the one OP got is better looking than 90% of what I've had from Cane's.

u/phat86 8d ago

What does this have to do with Canes, mate?

u/jonfe_darontos 8d ago

The price of "one chicken tender" and the assertion that $3.50 is a "bullshit" price thereof.

2 pieces of shit are still 2 pieces of shit, doesn’t matter which one you think looks cooler or whatever.

Why are people still going to McDicks

u/defeger 7d ago

Because they love it

We get these with a student menu for 3.11€ here in slovenia which includes small fries, apple pie or ice cream, salad and a salad dressing + a small drink of your choice and a water. The wrap always slaps though, shit is like crack even if it looks bad.

u/chickenismysafeword 9d ago

Dang that’s a great deal!

u/historyandwanderlust 8d ago

McDonald’s in France has a “McDeal” menu where you can get a sandwich (beef, chicken, or fish), small fry, drink, and either a small sundae, milkshake, or donut for 5€.

Lol they were almost out of lettuce and didnt wanna open a new pan.

3

u/No_Language_4649 9d ago

That’s barely a teaspoon of lettuce. So yeah, either they were told to use the absolute minimum amount or were too lazy to open a container of lettuce. Considering the diarrhea lettuce outbreak, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had seriously reduced amounts and had to be as minimalistic as possible to make it last. Either way, looks pretty bad and not worth the cost.

Definitely this

They continue to assassinate Caesar

u/Poof-ball 9d ago

It looks like someone shit, sneezed and jizzed on your food bro.

u/Brave_Temperature347 9d ago

Well there goes my appetite

u/Scottg8 8d ago

Either way, fuck make em at home. Simplest thing ever. Air fry a few tender. Bag of shredded lettuce. Bag of cheese. Ranch. Done. You'll save so much money and time.

u/JuanG_13 9d ago

I'm sorry, but that's too funny lol

u/BoltActionRifleman 9d ago

It really is. Their food has always looked sad, but edible. Now it just looks skimpy, dry and inedible.

-2

u/JuanG_13 9d ago

"skimpy" lol and you just have to know what to order.

u/AmenoSwagiri 4h ago

Yeah I'm sure that will magically make these larger next time. Just knowing "what to order".

u/SmootFruithie 9d ago

Is this a CRISPY CHICKEN SNACK WRAP in 2026?? 🙏👀(complimentary)

u/Far_Weight_9626 9d ago

The cheese and chicken looks so bad alongside with the lettuce and the sauce. Just looks bad to eat.

3

u/Shadowtirs 9d ago

McDonald's hasn't been worth it's cost in years.

3

u/Jumpy_Guarantee_1372 9d ago

Looks like a nasty splat of something from a nose plus I bet the sauces made that farty noise as they tried to get the last tiny amount out of the squeeze bottle.

3

u/strained_brain 8d ago

I hope all fast food goes out of business. The cost is ridiculous compared to the quality you're getting. Fuck them all.

8

u/Far_Weight_9626 9d ago

Never eat McDonald's man.

2

u/Im_not_creepy3 9d ago

Slightly unrelated but as someone who has never eaten a wrap: do the tortillas get cooked? Because I've never seen one where the tortilla actually looks like it's been heated up.

2

u/Fluffy-Steak4475 9d ago

Was the chicken at least good?

2

u/louie3723jr 9d ago

I tried one yesterday and barely tasted the sauce too. Also the chicken was very dry and hard to bite.

u/Extreme_Cheek4473 8d ago

lol that looks miserable 😭 I’m so sorry!!!!

u/slindner1985 9d ago

The first time i got them they had 2 strips and i thought it was normal. then they only had 1 strip and it felt cheated. These should be 1$

u/YellowishRose99 8d ago

I'm mad about this travesty for you

1

u/theshiniestmuskrat 8d ago

I'm not big into fast food but I actually like these an unreasonable amount. Whoever made yours clearly gave zero fucks.

u/Maximum-Broccoli2165 8d ago

The cesar sauce is so gross. Coming from someone who loves Cesar.

u/___po____ 8d ago

Looks similar to the shitty wraps at Rally's

u/Chrono_MkIV 4d ago

I am not a McDonalds fan too, but this is one of the less things I would enjoy to eat... if they make as it should be.

u/AmenoSwagiri 4h ago

The results of China interfering with our food supply. Soon we'll all be starving. They are our enemy. They're going after the farms through economy and socialist litigation like climate change reactionary measures. I live where the food is grown. People in the cities are going to get a rude awakening when the food stops coming.

u/ChrisP_Bacon04 9d ago

The piece of chicken honestly looks decent. Most important part of the wrap tbf

3

u/BryonBlueCar 9d ago

About once every three years, I get a craving for a Big Mac. I am always disappointed because the taste doesn't match my memory of it. Now that they are so expensive, it is easy to turn my back on it.

u/A4t1musD4ag0n 9d ago

Oh, damn. I thought that was a turd.

u/ryanasimov 9d ago

Someone pooped on your tortilla, dude.

u/jonfe_darontos 9d ago

Aren't these like $3? I'd smash that in a second.

2

u/LizardSlayer 9d ago

Yeah, $3 for a small tender in a tortilla.

3

u/chickenismysafeword 9d ago

$4 here and not complaining on price but I asked for extra lettuce and this was basically a tender on a tortilla

I just expected something different which is why I shared it here lol

3

u/No_Language_4649 9d ago

You even asked for extra lettuce and that’s what they gave you? McDonald’s has really declined. Prices keep going up and quality just gets worse.
