The first new promotion at
Jack in the Box is the Bacon Shake...I'll let that sink in for a second...
Made with real vanilla ice cream, bacon flavored syrup, whipped topping and a maraschino cherry.
Okay, so if you are brave enough to order one, there are a few things you should know. First, get there fast since the quantities being delivered to Jack in the Box restaurants are said to be "as limited as limited can be." Next, according to a spokesman for the restaurant,
"The shake is not listed on our menus in the restaurants, so it's more of a 'secret item' that people can order." Finally, the nutrition of the 16 oz. Bacon Milkshake includes 773 calories, 40 grams of fat (28 saturated), 75 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein.
Next we have a promotion that is specifically skipping over the Phoenix metro area. The $2.99 Fish Sandwich Combo includes small fries, a small drink, and "two lightly battered fillets of Alaskan Pollock topped with lettuce and tartar sauce and served on a warm sesame seed bun" Along with this, for $4.59, Jack in the Box is Jack "offering Fish & Chips, which includes three fish fillets and small order of fries along with a side of tartar sauce and malt vinegar."
Sadly for those of you that enjoy something fishy in the Phoenix area,
at the bottom of the press release, Jack in the Box points out, "These promotions are not available in Phoenix." If the
AZFoodDude is not mistaken, these items are on the menu, so why is it that they can do the promotion in Tucson, Flagstaff, etc. but not in Phoenix? And if they are not on the menu anymore and this is a special limited time deal, then what's preventing the distribution trucks from stopping in Phoenix when they are moving along the I-10 from California to Tucson and further east? What's even better is the fact that we have a distribution center in Phoenix. Not cool for the fish-loving folks in Phoenix, Jack.
