Have You Seen That Hilarious Commercial?
I usually don’t advertise advertisements, especially for fast food, but the new Jack in the Box commercial makes me laugh. It’s the one with the two grown men in a twins baby stroller crying — It’s TOO funny! Since it was on TiVo we played it several times. Anyway, now I’m brain washed to try their new product – HA. Good one J in the B.
It’s usually not my preferred fast food joint — I might get a Taco from there every five years or so. The commercial is for their Pita Sandwiches with Chipotle Sauce (aka Pita Snacks). I tried their Fish Pita Sandwich. Chipotle anything gets me every time.
Overall, the Sauce flavor was good, but the Sandwich wasn’t. It’s basically a Fish Stick hosted in a Pita that’s too chewy and thick for its contents, but I did get it out of my system (no mas) and I can still laugh at the commercial.
While requesting the Pita Sandwich, I saw something unique on the menu, Fried Cheesy Macaroni Bites, which reminded me of something at the Fair. I had to try them too. And I have to admit that I kind of liked them. I couldn’t eat more than 3, since they’re greasy, but good. And they do have Macaroni and Cheese inside. I was glad I tried them, since they made up for the other.
Sandwich Proposals: Serve on Flat Bread, use two pieces of Fish or a larger portion, add more fresh Lettuce and Chipotle Sauce. Good luck.

Hey there,
I actually found your blog due to a Google search geared towards finding out if anyone else found the commercial as funny as I did :). Gotta love seeing the ridiculousness of crying babies set in a new context…
I would imagine that the fish version is probably the least tasty, but I don’t usually find fast food fish options any good at all due to the overuse of fillers and the lack of taste in pollock (the usual fish used in these things). I would imagine the steak options is probably the best and, like you, I am now obligated to try them because of the evil Jack in the Box marketing 😉
By the way, there is a buy one get one free coupon for these things… I found mine off of Pandora.
Anyway, thanks for the posting and glad to see someone else felt this advertisement was exactly what advertisements should be.
