McElusive - In search of the Big Spicy chicken wrap

A couple of weeks ago, McDonalds India launched their new McSpicy range of food. This included the McSpicy Paneer burger and wrap and the McSpicy Chicken burger and wrap.

This is clearly a response to KFCs very popular Zinger burger (which i love) and i must say is doing well. Everyone was talking about it. (Oh and btw, KFC launched their new HOT zinger as a response to MCSpicy - ah, how i love corporate wars.)

Last evening, i had a craving for the Big Spicy Chicken wrap. I had seen J eating it in the afternoon and it looked absolutely delicious, plus its been a while since i had a decent wrap. Fueled by my craving, I went to the McDonalds closest to home - the one at Haji Ali. Imagine my disappointed when there was a print-out saying 'SOLD OUT' pasted on the McSpicy menu. Oh well, there is another outlet close buy so i headed there next, but they were sold out too!!

You know what happens when u want something but u cant have it? Oh yeah... you want is BAD. Determined to have my wrap, i dragged J out and traveled all the way to the out let at VT.

"not available ma'am" says the guy
"what?! is there a shortage in the entire city!"
Cheeky guy says "no, go to Colaba outlet" So i did!! and they didnt have it there either!!!

Methinks there is more to this than meets the eye, a recall on the product maybe?

Meanwhile, my unsatisfied craving grows stronger. Anyways, thats a wrap.
