The fans have been calling for a Jimmy John’s and Fetty Wap collab, and now the sandwich chain has delivered with its new #1738 Fetty W(r)ap Meal.
Just like Fetty's Waps beats, the new #1738 Fetty W(r)ap Meal is built around flavors that never miss. The star of the meal is the new Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap, which features all-natural chicken tossed in a Buffalo Wild Wings Medium Buffalo Sauce paired with lettuce, tomato, onion, celery, carrots, and homestyle ranch, in a soft flour tortilla. The meal also includes your choice of drinks and the new Buffalo-flavored Jimmy Chips, which consist of Jimmy Chips coated in a zesty buffalo spice blend. As Suzanne DeRouchie, Vice President of Integrated Marketing Communications at Jimmy John’s, says of the new partnership, "Fetty Wap helped define the sound of the summer, and we wanted to bring that same energy to our menu. This meal is iconic, flavor-forward, and built for fans who know that some eras – and flavors – never miss."
