No, Jack in the Box, It’s Not a New Deal

So I’ve seen the new Jack-in-the-Box commercial where Jack asks the President of the USA how to help the economy. Jack suggests something the President says wouldn’t be supported. So, Jack decides he’ll help the people in this tough economy with some value meal deal. 2 regular tacos, 1 Jumbo Jack and 1 regular french fries for $2.99.

And while that’s all well and good, this deal is not new! I’ve actually ordered that meal before – years ago! And for about the same price!

A person can get those items for $1.00 each anytime on the Jack in the Box value menu,  at least the tacos and Jumbo Jack, and the fries don’t cost much more. So putting them together in some “new” meal deal, and saying it’s to help people out in these tough economic times is a bit silly.

I don’t know, perhaps the fries are a larger size, but I don’t think so.

Well, I like Jack in the Box; it is perhaps my favorite fast food restaurant, but that “new deal” is bogus.
