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.

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.
