By Phil Villarreal on June 22, 2011 9:15 AM   26 Comments
Jack in the Box has made preschoolers' crayon-scrawled blacklists by removing toys from its kids' meals last week. A company spokesman said the decision originated not from outside pressure, but for economic reasons. He said the chain's marketing efforts target frequent adult customers rather than children, and that the company found toys weren't drawing parents with kids to the restaurants. More »

By Chris Morran on April 16, 2010 1:04 PM   66 Comments
A new study in the American Journal of Public Health states that several of the biggest U.S. health insurers are heavily invested in fast food companies, to the tune of $2 billion.

Jack In The Box's Free Wi-Fi Experiment Ended. Did Anyone Notice?
By Chris Walters on February 9, 2010 9:24 AM   16 Comments

The Wi-Fi offer came with the installation of HDTVs that displayed ads in the dining area, but those are gone too: "In mid-2009, the TVs and the Wi-Fi began disappearing. By the time McDonald's made their free Wi-Fi announcement in December, Jack had completely dismantled his Wi-Fi network." More »

—>No matter how much you try to close yourself off from humanity—by not giving out your phone number, by staying in your home on weekends, or by getting a job as a blogger—you still have to speak to horrible, filthy humans when you order from fast food restaurants. A Jack in the Box in Bellevue, Washington has solved that problem.  More »

Food Advertising Reality Check: Pizza And Burger Edition
By Laura Northrup on May 27, 2009 1:48 PM   99 Comments

—>This doesn't quite qualify as "unacceptable food." More like "food that doesn't look quite like depicted in the ads." We bring disappointing photographs of a frozen pizza from fancy-pants grocer Whole Foods, and a humble cheeseburger from Jack in the Box.  More »

"Frighteningly Loyal" Jack in the Box Employee Now Working A Sane Schedule
By Laura Northrup on May 21, 2009 3:09 AM   126 Comments

—>Remember Blake, the north Texas Jack in the Box employee Consumerist featured and described as "frighteningly loyal" a few weeks ago? Kevin, the person who originally introduced us to Blake, printed out a copy of the page and drove around with it in case Blake happened to serve him on a snack run.
