Burger King has added 10 new items to its menu, including smoothies, frappes, specialty salads and snack wraps. The fast-food chain's effort to revamp its offerings comes after it lost its ranking as the nation's second-most popular burger chain. (McDonald's continues to be first, and Wendy's is now second.)

Burger King's new menu items are similar to those offered by its more popular rival McDonald's. Here, Alex Dipasquale, left, selects a soda as his friend Lucas Kitt looks on at a Burger King restaurant in Miami.

Steve Wiborg, president of Burger King’s North America operations, told the Associated Press that the company made the overhaul because “consumers wanted more choices. Not just healthy choices, but choices they could get at the competition.”

The Associated Press reports, "Over the past year, Burger King evaluated all of its ingredients from the bacon to the cheese slices it serves on its chargrilled burgers as part of a yearlong quest to reverse years of slumping sales of its Whoppers and fries."

The decision to expand the menu came after Burger King was purchased last year by private equity firm 3G Capital. Norman Garcia eats a burger and fries at a Burger King.

The Associated Press reports that "Burger King considered making Panini-pressed snack wraps, for example, but tests showed customers wanted something lighter." That's why the firm settled on its new version of snack wraps. Here, a patron leaves a Miami Burger King.
