This is a burrito, folks. It&#8217;s name, &#8220;Big Mac Snack Wrap,&#8221; is just a sneaky marketing maneuver to get you to think that what you are eating is akin to a half of a turkey sandwich a few crackers and cheese.

The sandwich was test-marketed in Canada and has slowly made its way across the border to the U.S. where it has hit Chicago and Houston.<\/p>\n<p>The nutrition information\u00a0of the Big Mac Snack Wrap\u00a0is mysteriously absent from McDonald&#8217;s website even though I did find one source that reported that each wrap contains 350 calories and 21 grams of fat.
