Argh, I’ve been looking for a review of this and I should have known to just come here first! Jack-in-the-Box is my nearest fast food place so we always end up buying random fried junk on the way back from the train station. Looks like this bowl isn’t a good alternative to the available-24-hours-a-day French Toast sticks with HFCS.

I bought one today and thought it was ok. A little overpriced though and maybe it’s just my imagination but it seems smaller than I remember…

Pomai – I think I have like a dozen Costco ones in my freezer, they are actually pretty good but after eating a few of them you never want to see them again. I also think a CG-animated Jack would make the commercials more like acid trips than fast food advertisements.

NotBlonde – On the list of things I’ve reviewed, steak teriyaki in a bowl is not among the scariest. I’m not sure if that’s something to be proud of.

Brie – I used to think so too, but he made me breakfast in bed and I found the gesture to be thoughtful and welcome.

Natalie – Damn, Rap Cat keeps his pimp hand strong and handles those honeys. And his lyrics are only slightly more repetitive than Britney’s “Womanizer” song.

Neil – Syracuse – famous for Jim Boeheim, Donavan McNabb…and…salt?

orb205 – Milkshakes are basically just drinkable fat and sugar, so I am happy that you are still alive and able to contribute to our fine website.

Marvo – I liked Wendy better when she didn’t talk, now she’s like a hipster teenager when all along she was supposed to be a little girl. It’s very disconcerting, but I guess bringing Dave back is out of the question.

Rowen – I had no idea, but the commercials suggest that they are a new product. Bastards.

Chuck – Jalapeno poppers. Is there anything in the world that makes you feel more like a fat, uncomfortable mess? Not that it stops me, but still.

liz – Life or death is pushing it, I can’t imagine that we’ll be seeing Bear Grylls eating this on his show and doing that move where he chomps the food down dramatically from the side of his teeth.

LoyalLurker – Mostly smoking copious amounts of weed and laying naked on the beach. But I ran out of money, so I’m back.

Kat – That sucks, I feel so betrayed. And the commercials have the audacity to tout bowl technology as a recent invention, I should have known better! I’ve been eating with bowls since I was a child, I should have known something was up.

lex – Salty ass egg rolls with saccharine pink sweet and sour sauce, doesn’t get much better than that I guess.

They had the teriyaki bowls for a while but then discontinued them for a couple of years and just recently brought them back to the menu. So I don’t think they’re necessarily being advertised as “new.”

The chicken teriyaki bowl with an oreo milkshake was an important cornerstone of my high school diet.

wow these bowls are like a salt lick. But maye thats good because I live in the salt city Syracuse ny
so keep making them and we will keep suppling salt for those egg rolls too.

OH HOLY HELL THAT’S FUNNY!

There aren’t Jack in the Boxes in my state but I really don’t understand how the restaurant manages to push both burgers and Asian food. Seems like an odd concept for a fast food place.

At any rate, I must contest the JIIB mascot being the best. The best is clearly Rap Cat from both Checker’s/Rally’s. Not only is he advertised nation wide, but he’s a cat (puppet)..that raps.

Examples of his greatness include:

Both a commercial and his own music video.

I’ve never had Jack in the Box but that looks like dog food to me.

I’ll happily take the JITB mascot over that son-of-a-bitch Burger King. He’s evil. Pure evil.

Yes, they had these awhile ago. I don’t know if they are advertising them as new, as the Jack in the Box near me is too far away to just walk by…perhaps i’ll check out their website. Anyway, the chicken ones were really tasty when I was a kid. Maybe it’s just the steak one that tastes weird. Personally, that sounds a bit creepy to me. Steak teriyaki in a bowl?

That actually looks pretty darned good. Ever try the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl they sell at Costco? Not bad, FWIW. The rice is notably fresh-tasting, chicken has a nice grilled flavor and the Teri sauce decent.

While Jack’s hilarious TV commercials help make him the greatest fast food mascot in the history of the universe, The Burger KING comes out as THE CREEPIEST mascot in the history of the universe. {{{{willies}}}} I bet Marvo has nightmares that involve “The King” every night. Either that, or fantasties that we wouldn’t wanna’ even know about. lol

I don’t find Ronald creepy. I’m still wondering why Quaker Oats uses an inanimate statue for their mascot. Isn’t there tons of living (caucasion) men that look just like him who could play the part? Like how there are many Colonel Sanders impersonators.

Another one in question is the Sun Maid raisins mascot. I don’t know why they use computer animation for the commercial, when there’s gotta’ be hundreds of living women in this nation that look like her who could play the part.

Imagine if they started using computer animation to give Jack moving facial expressions, including a talking mouth. Then he would go from great to creepy. lol

That looks good actually, i don’t eat much from there since it makes me sick…

I like their egg rolls! And I have had the real things, Jack’s are just full of greasy goodness… lol

I don’t know why I remember this, but Jack used to have Teriyaki Bowls a LONG time ago, when I was a kid. The fact that they’re trotting out the same damn bowl as new annoys me. The old chicken bowls were exactly the same as the current ones: bland veggies, and meat that was a little squishy, but too much black pepper.

Ace! Where have you been, child? Not suprised this thing is lame.
