Comments on: REVIEW: Jack in the Box Mini Sirloin Burgers http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2009/03/31/review-jack-in-the-box-mini-sirloin-burgers/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:39:26 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alison http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2009/03/31/review-jack-in-the-box-mini-sirloin-burgers/#comment-24589 Alison Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:29:56 +0000 http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/?p=2904#comment-24589 These burgers are excellent. They are not that small at all. The American people eat to big of portion sizes and that is why so many people are obese. Maybe the companies are trying to come out with smaller portion sizes to eliminate some of this. For instance, my husband and I get a pack and split it. There is no need to overeat as much as these fast food restaurants encourage us to do. I would definitely recommend them. Furthermore, $3.99 is not a bad price. It is hard to buy much of anything anymore for less than a $1. These burgers are excellent. They are not that small at all.

Can't say I agree with you there. I've loved sliders since I was a kid in the late 80s and BK introduced Burger Buddies. I think that making a memorable dish on such a small canvas is an interesting challenge.

Or is that tray bigger than that? I just tried the sliders at The Shack Hawaii Kai. I'll post a review on it this weekend. I'm definitely gonna' try these JIB sliders. Love burgers this size. Way better than some "why put 3 things inside the bun, when you can pile 30 things in it" monstrosity.

I'm thinking that's where the mini-burger fascination comes in. Why? No idea.
