You know what helps make our kids more fit and healthy? When their McDonald's cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets come with apple slices, fries, and chocolate milk! Wait--apple slices? Aren't those an option? Nope. Kids, you're getting apple slices. more ›

Starting this week, when you purchase a kids combo meal at Jack in the Box, junior will reach inside the bag and feel a chintzy plastic bag full of Chiquita Apple Bites. And you can already hear the thud of the apple hitting Jack's round white face. more ›

Some criminals can't help but to return to the scene of their crime. In San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood yesterday, the man suspected of attempting to rob a Jack in the Box the day before came back to where the failed heist almost went down. Why? He was hungry.

Just how saturated is America by the top 8 fast food burger chains? This map, created by Weather Sealed, illustrates the density of each chain across the nation. McDonald's--in the black--obviously dominates, but it looks like here in Southern California the market leader is Jack in the Box.

You might think it's just fast food, but for national chain Jack in the Box, image is everything. The company is announcing today via iconic "mouthpiece" CEO Jack Box they are embarking on "a major brand overhaul that includes a new modern logo, the debut of sliders and a makeover at more than 2,000 restaurants," according to the OC Register's Fast Food Maven. Rumors swirled about logo changes last year when they tested new signage at locations in San Diego, where the restaurant began in 1951 and remains headquartered today.

Sometimes the things that strike me funny are hard to explain. All I can say is, I have new tennis shoes... And pay special attention to secret sauce guy. This is a Jack commercial from 1970, and it's clear that we the people of 2007 are not doing nearly enough drugs. Tacos 2 for 99, Jack in the Box... Bacon Cheddar Tato Wedges, Jack in the Box... Midnight at the Drive-Thru window, Jack in... more ›

There are very few companies putting out consistently funnier ads than Jack in the Box. Their latest is a jab at the Angus burger trend that was adopted by Burger King and Carl's Jr., and has recently been picked up by McDonald's. Instead of following the leader, Jack in the Box decided to promote their Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day campaign, hyping their breakfast-served-all-day advantage, and then they tried their... more ›
