Burger King's Ranch Crispy Chicken Snack Wrap is pretty much identical to McDonald's Crispy Ranch Snack Wrap at least as far as components go. It's lettuce, shredded cheese, Ranch dressing, and a fried, breaded chicken strip wrapped up in a flour tortilla.

Frito Lay debuts two new Ruffles potato chip flavors this Spring: Smokehouse Style BBQ and Loaded Bacon & Cheddar Potato Skins.

The premise is that since it takes a while to make both dishes, the new Ruffles flavors can serve as a lazy man's substitute.

The flavor of Smokehouse Style BBQ is described as "dry-rub style barbecue flavor in every bite." Loaded Bacon & Cheddar Potato Skins Ruffles "offer the great taste of potato skins piled high with ingredients" which, if the picture is any indication, means cheddar, bacon, sour cream, and chives.
