"The Fresh Stuffed Pita rolled out in the late 1990s, riding the trendy wave of sandwich wraps at the time. It consists of warm pita bread cradling fresh vegetables, chicken strips, and cheese, tied together with a dressing. The fast food chain offered it in four different varieties: chicken caesar, ranch chicken, classic Greek, and garden veggies - all reasonably priced between $1.99 and $2.99."
"Although it only stuck around for three years - having appeared in 1997 and discontinued in 2000 - the Fresh Stuffed Pita made an indelible mark on Wendy's customers. It appealed especially to those who wanted something halfway between a burger and a salad - just hefty enough to fill the stomach while offering low carbs, fresh and simple ingredients, and enough veggies to satisfy a health-conscious eater."
