But the warehouse giant\u2019s latest addition, the Chicken Caesar Wrap, isn\u2019t uniting the masses as much as you might expect. Since popping up in the deli case, social media comment sections have been absolutely\u2026honest.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The wraps, made with wheat tortillas, shredded rotisserie chicken, lettuce, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing, feel like a no-brainer. They\u2019re convenient, protein-packed, and perfect for a grab-and-go lunch straight from the case. But based on the reaction to an Instagram reel showcasing the item, Costco fans are emphatically not on the same page about whether this is a genius new staple or just another \u201cmeh\u201d prepared food misstep.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">On the positive side, plenty of Costco fans are defending the wrap\u2019s practicality and portion size. Multiple commenters praised it as a genuinely filling lunch, with one writing that it was \u201cso filling I couldn\u2019t even finish it,\u201d which, in the world of ever-shrinking portions, feels like a small miracle. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Others zeroed in on the protein, pointing out that Costco didn\u2019t cheap out on the rotisserie chicken. \u201cThey actually load it with chicken, not just lettuce and sauce,\u201d one person commented, while another added that it was \u201cbetter than most wraps that are 80% tortilla.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">That said, for every person adding it to their regular Costco rotation, there\u2019s someone else who is loudly unimpressed. A big complaint across the comments was the texture. Several people described the tortilla as \u201csoggy\u201d and \u201cwet by the time you get home,\u201d especially compared to the crunch you expect from a classic Caesar salad. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Others took issue with the dressing, calling it \u201cway too thin\u201d and \u201cbland for something that\u2019s supposed to be Caesar.\u201d One particularly blunt comment summed it up with \u201cThey are not that good. You&#8217;ll be disappointed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1fm2v8u e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-18s47pf e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">In other words, the Chicken Caesar Wrap might be exactly what some shoppers have been needing\u2014a quick grab-and-go option stuffed with Costco\u2019s famously generous rotisserie chicken. Or it might be the kind of item that members skip over in favor of more reliable options, like the turkey pinwheel sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Costco hasn\u2019t publicly commented on the online reaction, and as with most warehouse hits (or misses), it\u2019s unclear how widespread the wrap\u2019s rollout is. But if the Instagram comments are any indication, this wrap has already become one of those Costco foods people feel <em data-node-id=\"12.1\">very<\/em> passionate about, one way or the other.<br data-node-id=\"12.3\"\/><\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Costco introduced a Chicken Caesar Wrap in its deli section, featuring rotisserie chicken and Caesar dressing.
