FAST FOOD NEWS: Jack in the Box Burger Dippers

Jack in the Box Burger Dippers

I thought Burger King’s Whopperito was the weirdest burger-that’s-not-really-burger. But that has been replaced with Jack in the Box’s new Burger Dippers.

The photo above was sent in by TIB reader Austin in Davis, CA, who said of the finger food, “It tastes like they literally put a whole burger in a blender and then deep fried it.” It’s part of a new $6 all day Munchie Meal Box that also includes two tacos, curly fries, and a drink. The Burger Dippers are also available a la carte for $3 and sauce is available upon request.

It isn’t available on the main Jack in the Box site, so it might be a test item. Doing some quick Googling I came upon a commercial for the new $6 Munchie Meals that features the Burger Dippers and the new Jr. Double Jack.

If you’ve tried the Burger Dippers or have seen it at your local Jack in the Box, let us know in the comments.
