Despite the
soaring cost of food prices, fast-food chain
Burger King announced that it will be
adding two petite-sized, lower-cost items priced at $1.39: the Cheesy Bacon BK Wrapper and the Spicy Chicken BK Wrapper.
Burger King is attempting this strategy in a frenzied fast-food climate, as the industry is struggling to balance
rising costs of food with value-added items. Fast-food companies such as
McDonald's have had a difficult time keeping value items
under the traditional $1 mark.
When we heard about the newest
addition to the Jack in the Box breakfast menu, some of us at the office got into a heated discussion. I was completely shocked to hear that
DearSugar rarely eats fast food and has never been to a
Taco Bell in her life!
I, on the other hand, can let loose and enjoy a drive-thru burger every now and then, especially when a late-night craving strikes.
Jack in the Box has announced its plan to jump on the fast-food breakfast bandwagon with its new Breakfast Bowl, an entire, portable meal. A mix of eggs, hash browns, cheese, peppers, and meat, the dish is a "Sunday brunchworthy meal" to be "enjoyed on a weekday schedule." Jack in the Box hopes to satisfy consumers' need for a hearty breakfast on the go.
As soon as I heard that
Jack in the Box was debuting these
Cheesy Macaroni Bites, I knew I had to try them.
Macaroni and cheese is my favorite comfort food, and I love trying the latest flavor of any item to come out of the deep fryer.I almost had a heart attack when I learned what the calories were on this tiny snack, (although it could have been that my arteries were already filling up with saturated fat). Still, the petite wedges — with their gooey, cheesy interior and crispy, golden, battered exterior — were delicious.
Tomorrow the fast-food chain
Jack in the Box is
giving away free tacos. All you have to do is bring in an old gas receipt and Jack in the Box will give you not one, but two free tacos!
The the tacos are free because "it's getting more expensive to fill your gas tank" so they're "giving you a little help with filling your stomach."
I am not sure I understand the Jack in the Box cult-like following, (sort of reminds me of the Chick-Fil-A following) but nonetheless people are very into Jack in the Box so before you go, consider these options.
