 Jack in the Box tacos, a permanent menu item since the mid-1950s, have developed a loyal, almost cult following among guests. Consider these taco facts: * Jack in the Box is the first major hamburger fast-food chain to offer tacos in all its restaurants. * 600 Jack in the Box tacos are eaten each minute, a total of 315,360,000 tacos each year. * Jack in the Box uses 16 million pounds of fresh, stone-ground, US-grown corn each year to make tortillas - that's approximately 2,500 acres of corn. * The pattern of brown flecks on the taco shell, a distinguishing characteristic of Jack in the Box tacos, are grill marks resulting from the chain-linked conveyor belt that moves the tortillas through a 700-degree oven. * Jack in the Box hands out 136 million packets of taco sauce each year. * Jack in the Box purchases 11 million pounds of beef each year just for tacos. * Placed end to end, the number of Jack in the Box tacos sold each year would reach a distance of approximately 28,500 miles, more than once around the earth. |

They could make a nice and cheezy scary movie with that Jack in the Box character's face.
He frightens me.
ontopic: as far as I know, we don't have Jack In The Box in Belgium.
Nice and interesting facts though. Liked the conveyer belt pattern explanation the best. Cool.
The Diner Melt Combo on their mainpage looks yummy.

Hmm, maybe I should try one. sorry Dharmashark, but you can't have one. you have to get 2 for 99cents! they are not your normal taco, they are fried until you can see through the tortilla. it is pretty awesome. |
