Jack in the Box *UPDATE 9/21/06*

In case you forgot, it's Taco Tuesday! For today's post I'm going to review a Taco I know many of you are familiar with, Jack in the Box Tacos (2 for 99¢). You're proabably saying, "dude, that's not a Taco!", but it is a Taco. Saying this Taco isn't a Taco, is like saying a poodle isn't a dog. The Taco has a hard shell tortilla and a filling, qualifying this tasty piece of work as a Taco. The Taco filling seems to be some kind of meat stuff that somewhat resembles ground beef. It also has a nice helping of lettuce and tomato salsa. The shell is usually very crunchy around the edges and gooey in the middle (where the meat stuff is!). Jack in the Box also provides extra salsa in lil convenient packages. There's also a Monster Taco (99¢) for a seriousTaco fix! The over all taste of the Taco isn't too bad...In the wise words of Crocadile Dundee, "it tastes like shit, but you could live off it".

I know it's not the healthiest choice, but the food at JITB will satisfy my tummy in a pinch. I also know I'm not alone when I say it's the best stuff on earth after a night of hard partying/clubbing!! Jack in the Box, aka Jack in the Crack, has a pretty diverse menu. There isn't many places you can roll up to at 2a.m. and order a milkshake, jalapeno poppers, some eggrolls, and a hashbrown. So if you see me stuck in that long ass line of hungry nightowls...hoooollllleerrrr!!

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.
