As one of the first 24 hr. Jacks in Carson, Calif. working in the wee hours of the morning a drunk patron kept jumping up and down on the bell cord. I looked in the mirror, turned on the intercom and yelled “ GET OFF OF MY FEET”. He looked up at the Jack head and took off running. Great memories of working there.
LOL! Was that the JIB on Carson st next to the hospital?
Weekends at Jack In The Box in the 70's...how I miss those great times.
Then they got rid of Jack, and everything went to crap for 14 years.
We had a Jack-in-the Box near our High school, Estancia, and also would go for the tacos, fries and Coke!!

SAME!!!!
@@juliemarchese-temple7749 you are stunning
I was just telling my daughter about when I was a little girl around 4yrs old, in Indiana during the mid 70's, EVERY Friday before going to the drive-in, we would go to Jack-n-The Box and I would get tacos 😋. I don't remember any movie we ever went to go see, but I remember the tacos 😁 🤭
Yes, they are that good. +90% of the time I get the tacos
I loved their tacos. First tacos I ever had.
@@rickdavis2710 IKR 🙂
That's you in your profile picture
@@quanbrooklynkid7776 Lol, yes
My first fast food meal when I moved to San Diego in 1963 was at Jack-In-The-Box. At the age of four, I was fascinated by the talking clown. In those days, they'd put a handful of balloons in the bag if they saw you had kids with you.
My favorite menu item was the hot apple turnover. It had a nice flaky crust, with just a hint of cinnamon. And of course I loved the tacos, which were the first tacos I had ever tasted. At one point I lived in walking distance from a
Jack-In-The-Box located right next to the apartments I grew up in.
After the Blow Up The Clown commercial aired, a group of professional clowns got together and publicly protested that ad campaign.
Jack-In-The-Box was a huge part of my childhood.
You are 2 years older than me
was that the JB at Voltair and Sunset?
Hey Jack in the Box..BRING BACK THE TRUE JUMBO JACK!..that thing you call the Jumbo Is a Joke..
I remember well working at the "Jack" near my home when JumboJack was introduced. Was really good and very big ... 🍔👌
They got the double jack
I’ve worked there the past couple of years, and I’m sad to say the company is way too tight on their money to improve the food :/
There are too many stores for them to actually care what the franchises do, and it leads to everyone being money-hungry and letting the store suffer for it.
Tacos are still pretty good for $1 though
@@WilleyNelson69 - You get "double jacked " whenever you visit ! 😃 👌
YUP!!!, jumpin' jack flash, it turns into "GAS"!!!!
In 1998 when I first discovered smoking weed my best friend and I decided to go to Jack In The Box. Had been countless times over the years but this was my first time going stoned. We were in the drive thru. I rolled up to the Menu Board completely petrified to talk and place our order. We sat there for a long time wondering why no one was answering us and taking our order. Pretty soon a huge line of cars piled up behind us and started honking. We realized we weren't at the order board. Couldn't stop laughing and was next to impossible to talk to the poor person working there to give our order. We finally got the pick up window and they asked us "Should you even be driving?". The whole way home cracking up. We're still friends to this day and always talk about that when we hang out.
Me and my sister did the exact same thing!
For me i was at a jack in the box that was next to a McDonald's and when I heard them say hi can i take your order I ordered a jack in the box combo with vanilla shake. And I kept hearing hi can I take your order over and over. I roll further through the drive thru till I get to the window and was about to tell the person at the window... it must be your last day of work and you thought it would be fun to mess with customers but you messed with the wrong one. I was waiting for someone to open the drive thru window for jack in the box. Then I hear.. hi can I take your order from the McDonald's side... I felt stupid 🤦🏻♂️followed by the feeling of laughing at myself for being so dumb at the moment. I left and went to another jack in the box and made sure not to order at McDonald's through the jack in the box drive thru again. Yeah I wrote a novel so what
Cap
The fried Tacos
Yeah that's really cool and funny that you dirty poor hippies endangered the lives of responsible hardworking people that invest their money I remember in the second grade at recess we would smoke weed kind of grew out of it by junior high though
The jumbo Jack was great. We had a Jack In The Box near our high school and we would sneak out of school at lunch to get the tacos. Good times.
Yeah, in our town, the Jack near our high school was SO overrun with high school kids at lunch hour they posted signs saying "NO STUDENTS FROM 11AM to 1PM."
The jumbo jack IS great - they still make it !
@@Hogger280 Not as good as it used to be ... 🍔
Anybody remember the colossus burger from the 90s? They helped me get up to 210lbs. for a time. Took awhile to lose 60lbs. of it. Thanks Jack.
@@evetsnitram8866 / Fast food is killing us - no doubt about it . 🍔 🍟
2 tacos for.99 after drinking all night- best deal ever.
You are lucky to be alive. Most alcoholics would have passed away years ago.
The midnight munchie meals are an even better deal
You pay for that twice.lol
Good tacos IMO. Better than Taco Bell's.
@@rickross7257 those tacos can give you Jack in your crack..lol
I worked at a Jack in the Box in NY until they closed and ate ( and made) more tacos, jumbo jacks breakfast jacks and wore the “Jack” outfit for parties and for advertising. Imagine my surprise when we moved to NC and found Jack in the box again! I couldn’t wait to try a taco again ( feeling like they wouldn’t measure up to my memories) but lo and behold they were just as good as I remembered! What a great surprise!
When the bar's closed in California in the 70's we would say "Time to go talk to the clown!"
Sometimes you would see some weird shit waiting in line.. always an adventure at Jack's at 2 AM :)
Nagules.
@@Moondoggy1941 I think it was spelled... Naugles.. and it sucked Naugles!!lol..
We still go there. We call it jack in the crack.
@@al821, and called the hamburgers Yumbo Yacks.
I remember asking my mom to take me to the original Jack-In-The -Box on El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego back in the mid 60's
Mine was on the corner of Grand and Lamont in PB :)
We would ride our bikes from Montezuma Elementary School
Ours was at El Cajon Blvd and Utah St, I think. North Park area
LoL I've seen it before too. 😅
@@DiogenesOfCa LoL I've been to that one. Super close to Chula Vista High school. 😅😅
Some of my earliest memories in the mid-70s with my parents was at Jack In The Box. My mother who is in her 80's now still enjoys her Jack-in-the-Box tacos to this day.
3 for a buck, good times.
I grew up with Jack in the Box here in Texas. My older sisters always called it “Jack in the Crack”.
Everyone did in the late 1970's ;-)
Same here! Lol, I'm also in Texas
Yack in the Sack or Gag in the Bag, but we still loved it.
That's Everybody I knew back in the 70s called it let's go to Jack in The crack!
@@bernicejustice5235 and I thought my sisters were being original! Not.
We always called it Junk In The Box. When the food poisoning took place, they were all but thrown out of Florida, the only one I knew of still in existence is in Winter Haven on Hwy 27. But I don't know if it's still there now or not.
I fondly remember Jack in the Box from the 70s when there were a handful in MD. The babysitter used to take us there for a treat. Loved the apple pies.
Same with me, always hanging out in the 70's in MD
forgot about those DEEP FRIED apple pies!
Those apple pies were really good!
OMFG the Jack in the Box we used to go to was on Security Blvd in Baltimore County.They had like one person working in there during the late night hours.We gave that guy a workout! We all went in there to use the bathroom (drunk as hell of course) and I pissed in a trash can and kicked it over!! They fkd up my brother's order one time and he put a beer bottle through the drive-up menu! They left shortly after, 1978-79 IIRC. The site of that sorry-ass JITB is now an office building converted to a church/daycare center. BTW the guy who used to be there looked a lot like "Rerun"of the TV show "What's Happening".
Jack in the Box tacos make me tingle in my naughty bits. Best drunk/hangover food ever.
You got that right.
You are so right!
@Richard Karger sad that you gave a fuck
How many can you eat?
@@dmotta2811 The most I've eaten is 10.
I knew a guy that worked at a Jack in the Box in the early 70's. He told me one night they were having issues with the drive thru intercom. A customer got frustrated and took out his frustrations by using a baseball bat on the clown. No employees were hurt but Jack took a beating.
So he whacked Jack off in the drive thru?
Man that's cold! But hilarious!
one of my friends put a smoke bomb in Jack at the drive thru. the intercom came on and he's yelling help help this is Jack I'm on fire lol...back in 70s
And let's not forget the time the kids on That 70s Show stole a clown head from a fast food drive-thru.
Lol . True
Back during high school in the late 80's the book covers from my school had a Jack in the Box coupon, for $1.50 you got a Jumbo Jack, fries and a drink my buddy and I would go around stealing other students book covers just for the coupon it was a great deal for high school students with little money.
I remember!
Jack in the Box used to have a burger called "the Bonus Jack" and it had their "Secret Sauce" on it. I used to love that.
They brought the bonus Jack back a few years ago, and it’s still available for a limited time only. They do a triple one too👍
@@calfolk7381 thanks! I got to check that out...
I don’t think they’re available now as the only roll them out once or twice a year for limited time only
In Phoenix in the early 90's 2 tacos for 99 cents really hit the spot after the bars closed...
One of the only places open late at that time. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, too.
We had JitB in Michigan until I was, like, 5 years old when they pulled out. I didn't eat there again until I moved to Las Vegas in 2007. The 2 tacos were STILL 99 cents then. Running on very little money when I moved there, you couldn't beat that little meal with a stick, I'll tell you that!
@@JL-sm6cg I'd get 4-6. They were greasy af but delicious... and all that grease was great for soaking up all the booze you'd been guzzling all night! Great memories 🌮
Worked at the E. Indian School location in the mid eighties on the graveyard shift.
@@perryholmes8652 Saw lots of great shows at Rockers on Indian School in the 80's

+@@stevenhosea4849 What a bore you are. Nostalgia buff I see.
It too big to eat.
It's Rippy. Maybe you were thinking of Wimpy because of the hamburgers.
We called the meat in the tacos, “ mystery meat” , but who cared because they’re so good lol
Lol, but it was the way the fried tortilla came out that makes it tasty. Not the crunch tortilla of others but a softer shell with a crunchy edge where you really tasted the corn.
Yeah, a friend of mine turned me on to calling them ‘Cat Food Tacos’. So good!!
We call it dog food 😂😂
Oh,the tacos. So disgusting,but soooo good 😋
Plus,they had the most honest TV ad ever. A stoner in a surfer van late at night.
CLASSIC
I always stop by JITB in the morning on my way to work. Love their food. I now know of the history. Thanks a bunch!
I 💖 Recollection Road...sooo many wonderful memories..thank you!
Some wild store designs. I'd love to see them return!
Besides the Moby Jack and Frings, they also had a sandwich in the 70's called the Jack Steak. Very good.
Yes, that was really good!
I remember the Jack Steak... I loved that thing.
Yes I loved that sandwich too, I was an employee in the late 70 early 80 all shifts what a great job for teens.
I went with my parents to Jack in the Box in the 60’s in San Diego. I remember it was the same building type as pictured in the video. I have been going ever since. The Jack Taco is a favorite and I have enjoyed them now for over 50 years, scary.....
Was it by or in La Mesa?
@@L.Spencer I think it was closer to the beach. We lived in Escondido and would eat there while we were down in San Diego.
The tacos taste the same from the 60s?
@@ganktuh Exactly the same.
@@canamrider07 wow 😲
I remember in the early 70's when are family had it's first Jack in The Box dinner. Our dad went and got it and when he was passing it out to us it felt like something so special. God do I miss those moments.
Your endings have gotten lots better. Worth noting that Jack in the Box had to pay out millions to settle the E.coli lawsuits brought by sickened customers, four people died, and some of the survivors still have chronic health issues because of the contaminated burgers.
That reputation would keep me away FOREVER
@@bretmelton7116 Same. Ditto Chipotle.
Yeah. There were a couple massive payouts in the Seattle area. Shortly after the outbreak, Jack in the Box lost tons of customers. My nephew used to go there and say, heck, it's the safest place to eat right now.
The secret sauce they put on their burgers is still available, you just have to ask for it. It comes in ketchup style packaging and is kept chilled.
Whats it taste like?
@@FloridaMan69. It's basically a thousand island dressing...
@@FloridaMan69. pretty decent tbh. Taste lik e Wendy's awesome sauce
Not exactly the original which was kind of like using French dressing to make thousand island.
The Jumbo Jack had its own sauce that was different than the “Secret Sauce” called simply Jumbo sauce.
I put that secret sauce on everything, it's damn good 😋
I love jack in the box! Most diverse fast food menu in the industry.
The two tacos, sourdough Jack and the egg rolls are remarkable. I love Jack in the box tacos more than Taco bells.
Oh how I remember going to JITB with by sister on Friday nights before high school football or basketball games. It was our thing. It was that or pizza from a family-owned place in town. Life was so simple and fun back then.
When they had the clown head on top of the drive through box, we used to say we payed the clown to the cashier. Got some laughs
Did the cashier ever say, "Well, then, go back there and get your food from him!"?
a comedian?
Why would the cashier want a clown as payment?
Those cashiers probably heard that joke at least once a day
@@randybear932 probably, but it was the 70's.....people had a sense of humor unlike the lazy and entitled narcissistic twats of today
I remember in the 1970"s we would drive through backwards.
After a morning of surfing with my friend Paul Fishbein and his brothers David and Joel, under the watchful eye of their mother Joan, we drove in her white Rambler Ambassador station wagon straight to Jack in the The Box for hamburgers, fries, onion rings, and milk shakes. The location? Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, California, also known as Surf City USA. It was the summer of 1963 and we listened to Jan and Dean on The Big 11-10, KRLA Pasadena, singing “Two girls for every boy.” I was 12. Life was good. I was stoked! Many years later I moonlighted as a mobile DJ and played in a couple of garage bands in the Sacramento area in the 1990s. After the gigs I stopped on the way home at Jack in the Box in Fair Oaks next to Citrus Heights and ordered two tacos. I thought they were delicious. The location is still open until 2 a.m.
That sounds great! Life was good!
@@Mark.G475 Thanks! Indeed it was! Quoting The Kinks, "Where have all the good times gone?"
@@photonotavailable7936 , I lived in Fountain Valley and ran all over that area as a teenager in the early 70's .

But i guess nowadays teens would say the same thing . Have a good one
@@davidkreutzer4778 I grew up in Lakewood, next to Long Beach, in Los Angeles County, but we traveled to Orange County many times to go to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Laguna Beach for picnics, PCH to cruz, and concerts at Anaheim Convention Center, Melodyland, across the street from Disneyland, and The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. The garage band I was in, The Flipside, '64 to '69, played at Dee Gee's Teenland in Brea a few times. Thanks for sharing. Back at ya.
I still have to stop myself from stopping at that Jack on PCH every time I drive down the coast.
Jack was where we hung out in the late 70's in SoCal. Had a friend that worked at one & she would slip me free food. Loved Frings since I didn't have to choose. I worked at a Taco Bell across from a Jack in the 80's and we would swap food. Still go get tacos occasionally.
I remember going to Jack in The Box as a child in the '70s. My mom loved their Jumbo Jack and their tacos. My Dad loved the fish burger. I'd always order a cheeseburger, French fries and a coke. And, back then they'd give free balloons to children. I loved it!
I love their classic menu items but I also enjoy how the menu has evolved over time.
I really miss the Big Cheeseburger
Growing up in SoCal and ordering from the clown box is a great memory, that was the best part about JITB
Didn't McDonalds have you order to a clown too back then?
@@kenmore01 That's a good question, I can't remember though
When you got a bad case of the munchies there is NO better fast food place. ( topped off with a cheese cake desert ) And when you want to reminisce there is no better way than a drive down Recollection Road. ;-)
I have not been to Jack-in-the-box in years - used to really enjoy their excellent milkshakes - I need to go get one - sure hope they are still as good.
I go every week here in Cali. I really miss the apple turnovers, though. They have good snacks, but the apple turnovers were the Best. The tacos, chicken sandwiches, chicken rice bowls, and Sourdough Jacks are so yummy and the egg rolls are amazing. Better than Any I've had at Chinese restaurants, honestly
fancy seeing you here, brother! Jack is closing up quite a few locations around Houston, aren't they?
why wasnt there any mention of the fact that FOODMAKER INC. owned jack in the box? back in 74 i worked as the night manager of a jack in the box down in the south side of houston texas. FOODMAKER INC. also was owners of purina pet foods at the same time. in fact the taco bags had the ralston purina checkerboard square logo on the back at the time....really made you wonder just what went into that taco meat doesnt it? one thing i really miss is the old jack burrito's they brought out in the 70s, those were great.
"People Chow"
Houston area here myself. Jack keeps closing up around here.
Love the tacos, jalapeno poppers, and a Sourdough Jack!
I've been going to Jack in the Box for over 40 years now, and I LOVE some of their newer innovations like the Buttery Jack Bacon and Swiss - but somewhere along the line, they changed the recipe of their original Onion Rings, which used to be coated with a DELICIOUS crispy egg batter. Now it's covered in a "healthier" less tasty bready crust. Ah, for the good ol' greasy days!!!
Loved that you showed the Jack In the Box in Canoga Park, CA right next to Canoga Liquors...... my favorite from back in the day were the super taco and deep fried bean and cheese burrito ... ahhhhh Good Times !!! Love , love , love your videos !!!
I remember going there in San Diego in the 70's
Life without memories how nothing to write about. I truly missed those 60s and 70s life style, those time is nothing but fun and lot of happiness. American 🇺🇸 got so many history to always remember
El Cajon jack in the box in the 80's was the shit!! I remember when they introduced the ultimate cheeseburger. It was way better then, than it is now.
They came to the Charlotte, North Carolina area around the spring of 2000. I was glad. They have good food! 🙂
Still there?
@@bretmelton7116 Yes indeed
I love Jack in the Box, a guy from my church was the CEO for a time, my late wife was even in one of their training videos many years ago. Now I live in Wisconsin and we don't have them! Every time I travel South or West, I seek out a Jack in the box for a great treat. Thank you once again Recollection Road for bringing back some wonderful memories.
I lived in New Mexico for a while, and although there were some JITB in the state, there weren't any near me. Every time I drove back to California, I would stop at the first JITB I came to in AZ (somewhere in the Miami-Globe-Claypool area), have a meal or a snack, and phone my parents to let them know I was roughly 1/2-way home.
This guy could make a robot assembly line seem heart-warming.
When I was in college and back home on weekends, my buddy from high school and I would drive the back roads drinking a few beers. We would often go to the Jack In The Box in Reisterstown, Md. and scarf down two or three tacos. They weren't much to look at, but wow did they taste fabulous. I miss them not being available any more.
Must have been the one on Liberty Road? Bet you guys were driving on Dogwood Road, Wright's Mill Road and Old Court?
@@deliveryguyrx No, as I posted, we patronized the Reisterstown store. We drove the backroads of Carroll County where we lived.
I made thousands of Jumbo Jacks and the mystery meat tacos at the Jack in the Box in Lancaster, CA in 1972 and 1973.
When I was a kid growing up in Los Angeles in the 1960’s and 1970’s, we almost never ate fast food because my parents didn’t like it and discouraged us from patronizing fast food restaurants. I did have tennis lessons for a brief period, and the instructor would take me home afterwards, along with a couple other students. One day he said he was going to stop at Jack in the Box and buy us lunch, and I thought he was joking because my dad would often joke about it. He wasn’t. We really did go through the JITB drive through for lunch. I must have been about 8 years old, and it was my first time visiting a JITB. I’m still not a regular customer.
I grew up in Lakewood in the 1950s and ‘60s. I don’t recall my parents ever eating fast food. That said, it didn’t stop me from going to Jack in the Box in Belmont Shore, Huntington Beach, etc. with friends or on my own.
@@photonotavailable7936 It was similar for me (though I was in Long Beach). We rarely had fast food growing up, but once I had a driver's license it was a different story. (I had never even heard of the term "fast food" or even considered it as a concept different from other restaurants, until my senior year in high school when I got a job at a fried chicken place (not KFC).)
@@mariateresamondragon5850 In Lakewood, near the intersection of Paramount and Del Amo Boulevards as I recall, we had a fried chicken place called Chicken Delight, KFC's competitor. Their fries were the best I've ever tasted. McDonald's paled in comparison. Advertising jingle was Don't Cook Tonight Call Chicken Delight. And they delivered. Traveled to Long Beach many, manny times. It was as though Lakewood and Long Beach were one and the same. Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end.
Yeah! I've always loved their tacos with "Jacks secret sauce"and still do 60 years later. Hey, a good thing stands the test of time!
Used to love jack in the box, bonus jack, 2 tacos, and their onion rings we're the best.
I miss this place. We had one in Danbury Connecticut just a couple blocks from Western Connecticut State University on White St. It became a Valvoline Oil change repair shop. Corner of Locust Ave and White St
My dad used to muse about how we kids would be so mesmirized by the clown head sign on one of ours in San Jose, CA even if we weren't eating from it! We did every so often and it was always great! There used to be the "Bonus Burger" too, even though I don't remember what it was about! But I loved the name so much that every Easter I would dye an egg orange and call it "Bonus Burger"! Hahaha!
I have to admit that I still do Jack in the Box on occasion. And I love everything on the menu except the salad. Now, if only they served rootbeer floats it would be like heaven.
They actually do serve rootbeer floats. It might not be on the menu, but you can still order them.
the salad is bomb
@@vincentfugazzi102 ,
So, I went to my local Jack in the Box and asked for a Rootbeer float and they looked at me like I was nuts.
Maybe in certain areas of the country they offer them but not in my small town. I wish they did.
@@marcusgomez3307 ,
You're right. It's considered one of the best fast food salads. Low in calories (about 260). But high in sodium.
But for me when I go to fast food joints (which isn't often) I want a big fat juicy sodium and calorie packed double cheeseburger. No pickles. No tomatoes.
"What happened to Jacks commercials 😕, I missed Jacks voice ,clear, shape of his mouth always got the point across with all, hahaha 😅, greatly missed. "
Glad to know that they are still around thanks

I remember seeing Jack in the Box for the first time in the early 70's in the Chicago area. When my family moved to the Kansas City area in 1978, there were Jack in the Box restaurants in several locations, but they all left around 1981. They returned to the KC area around 2009. I have only been to a Jack in the Box once or twice. I find them overall to be okay but nothing special.
They left the Chicago area later on. Don't know when.
as of 76
@@rudyiraheta80 They left later than that.
I worked at Jack in the box while in high school about 1974 - 1975 when Jack first opened in Lodi, CA. I trained at the Jack in the box in Stockton, CA. My first manager was Armando. We used to cruise Pacific Ave, Stockton, Ca im his 57 Chevy. Loved the Moby Jack, Jumbo Jack, and Bonus Jack.
I love your videos. Thank you. ❤️😜
JITB did change the Jumbo Jack in the 80s, coinciding with the demise of the original clown. They switched from Secret Sauce to mayo, something that kept me away from them until they changed it back. The clown free years were not good ones IMHO, I didn't return until they got Jack back. I grew up in San Diego and recognized many of those photos.
Grew up in Lakewood. Recognized many of the photos too.
I love Jack In The Box and just about everything on the menu!! 😋
Going to Jack in the Box when I was little during summertime was such a treat. I miss those days... so carefree ..

I worked at jack in the box around 2000/2001. Loved it.
The Jack in the Box building I went to in the 80's still stands (right next to what use to be a Ponderosa), though it hasn't been a Jack in the Box for at least 25 years.
There are a lot of reused JITB cubes around the country.
Texas is full of Jack in the box and we love it
Hello from Tyler Texas!
Yesss just like California
Used to have a few on Long Island and it was a popular spot to hit up for a few Taco's after a night out drinking.They disappeared in the early 90's .Miss them! and miss those Taco's
I remember when someone would dress up as Jack and would pass out balloons to kids in the drive-thru. Anybody out there remember the Bendable Buddies made by Jack In The Box? There was Small Fry, Onion Ring, Secret Sauce Agent, Hamburgermeister and Jack.
I've got a plastic bendable Jack around here somewhere. He has a briefcase. I think I got him in a kid's meal about 30 years ago. Is that one of the ones to which you refer? I don't recall there being any others, but I didn't buy kid's meals often. (I was in my 30s at the time.)
Still love the tacos, glad they are the same as always. Used to love going to JITB in Chicago before they left town, thankfully, they are all over the place here in the SW. Their spicy chicken sandwich is good, too.
the tacos were diff in the 70s. they were better, i think.
i have a lot of jack in the box restaurants in my city, a few of them were built in the 70s but most were renovated a few years ago
I live not too far from a JitB that is one of the few left with the 1981-2007 font and logo on it.
@@JL-sm6cg all the ones where i live have the new logo
There are numerous Jacks still going in Texas. My mom would drive our station wagon back in the 60s to the Jack's on Long Point Rd. in Houston. There was a large revolving clown head on the sign and we kids pretended we would die if the clown head looked at us so we would duck whenever the head spun in our direction. My sister would scream. My mom must have thought we were nuts.
The Breakfast Jack is the best thing to eat while on the road. It is a slice of ham and a fried egg with cheddar cheese in between two buns. The cheese made for the perfect adhesive so the rest never slipped through the back of the sandwich while driving. I could enjoy the Breakfast Jack and a drink while keeping my eyes on the road and one hand on the steering wheel to the amazement of any passengers.
I personally believe the Jack CEO ads are the best running ad campaign ever devised. It's brand specific (you could never mistake them for another brand), humorous and product-focused (they always pitched the food rather than belaboring the joke). The Jack CEO also seems like a cool guy to work for. Never was a fan of the tacos, though.
Hello from Tyler Texas!
I remember when my dad and mom would take us to Jack-in-the- Box for lunch. I remember the food tasted good. By 1990 or so something has changed with the taste of the food. Especially with the hamburgers and tacos.
I can remember the one near me here in the northeast. Wish we could go back to those prices.
I remember in the late 70's possibly the early 80's they had a sandwich called the Jack Steak. Boy I loved that thing !!!
Dinner in a Box, there were like three of them
I remember as a kid in the 70s and talking to the clown head as it lit up when it spoke. I would always look at the colors it had because I was fascinated by them.
The Jack in the Box of my youth closed a year or two ago on E. 2nd St. In Belmont Shore, CA. It had been there for over 50 years.
Grew up in Lakewood in the 1959s and ‘60s. Went there many times plus Hoff’s Hut.
I’ll always love Jack in the 📦
"You want tacos?" "Maybe." "You want DEEP FRIED tacos?" "Hell yeah!" Sad when they pulled out of my area. A friend travels and buys a crate of frozen tacos and we fry 'em up when he gets back. Yum.
I used to go to a Jack in the box in San Diego in the '70's when I was in the Navy. Kind of forgot about them till recently traveling I-70 through Missouri, saw one off the highway and stopped. Wasn't as good as I remembered but eatable. None of the fast food chains are as good as they used to be with bean counters taking over.
In N Out Burger preceded Jack and the box with their drive thru burger stand when Harry and Esther Snyder decided to open a drive-thru fast food restaurant in 1948, in Baldwin Park California, this concept of marketing had not been tried before. To make there Restaurant work the Snyders set up a two way speaker system allowing customers to place their orders.
I was one of the people that got sick, I never told the restaurant but never went back either.
they got better after this trying to come back
This all happened when I was at Tacoma WA. To be honest I never thought to figure out why or even if anyone else had issue. I just remember being violently sick for the weekend...
@@gregcarnes80 terrible for all those people,business learned a lesson and got better!!!
"What about the clown?"

Actually, it wasn't Clara Peller-it was actress Nedra Volz (who played Adelaide on "Diff'rent Strokes").
@@RJSchex Thanks, apparently my memories of the 80s are starting to get less accurate.
Shrimp basket! Thought I had hit the jackpot when my dad told me to get whatever I wanted. Age 10 in 1962. Born and raised in San Diego
Breakfast Jack pre-1980 was the BEST fastfood sandwich ANYWHERE!
eliminating the secret sauce eliminated me as a customer.
The one I go to has ss packets if you ask for them
@@douglaslowe5 will try thx. you'd think they'd advertise that
I thought I made up jacque in se box.....lol.I just love their soy tacos!!!Ive gotten food poisoning at In and Out and Chipolte and the worst case at Sizzlers.When I taught high school I heard some awful stories of what they do to our food.
I always liked jack in the box because you can get breakfast any time of day or night.
And you can get a hamburger at 6am
Yes, their entire breakfast menu is always available, which I think is interesting because McDonald's whines about how difficult it is to have their breakfast items throughout the day.
@@mrtodd3620 keeping breakfast on the menu for Jack in the box wasn't and isn't an issue for them at Jack in the box you can have a bacon cheese burger at 9 a.m. and a sausage cheese egg sandwich with the hash brown cake thing at 3 a.m. jack in the box is your way I know that's burger kings slogan but just like McDonald's breakfast isn't on the menu all night and day at burger king.
I moved east in 1979 and was homesick for California. Having a Jack in the Box near by made all the difference. Within a couple of years they closed. I was so depressed. I'm still here but they are not. I still miss JnB. Whenever I get back west the first thing I want to do is find a JnB.
Used to sit at the Jack in the box in Pinole in the 70s and watch the stupidity going on on Pinole Valley Road on Saturday nights.....(then go out and be part of the stupidity)
@California Dreamer P.V. class of 75.
@California Dreamer Amazing that we survived it!
Oh man, now I want the Jumbo Platter breakfast! 3pm in the afternoon is ok for eggs & pancakes, right?
Absolutely!
I remember when we would always go to JACK IN THE BOX thanks for sharing this video.😘😊
Nice job on this! There was a Jack in the Box in the business district of the Chicago suburb I lived in (1970's). I loved their tacos! I dont know when it first got there (we moved there in 1972) and didn't notice when it left. Miss it!!!
I really like Jack-in-the-box. The Jumbo Jack is the best cheapest burger.
Yeah but it's not so jumbo anymore. Hasn't been in decades.
@@chaosdemonwolf1 Burgers have been getting smaller year after year.
Constipation City . .. 😢 🚽
The Jumbo Jack size now is what was the Bonus Jack
I remember Jack N The Box,I enjoyed their food.The Jack N The Box I remembered is now Wendy’s.
The Jack in the Box I remember as a kid, is now a cash for gold. Before that it was a steak sandwich shop.
