FAST FOOD NEWS: Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake (2017)

Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake  2017

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

Jack in the Box has rolled out a new Pumpkin Spice Shake during the most appropriate month to roll out anything pumpkin spice/pumpkin pie-flavored, and not in August, Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat.

It features real ice cream blended with pumpkin spice syrup and is topped with whipped cream, gingersnap cookie crumbles, and a cherry.

The fast food chain is calling this shake “new,” but it’s offered several pumpkin shakes over the years. We reviewed the Pumpkin Pie Shake in 2004 and the Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Shake in 2013. So what’s “new” about this version? Well, the gingersnap cookie crumbles are new. But I’m not sure if the pumpkin spice syrup is different than the previous shake.

A regular size has 860 calories, 41 grams of fat, 30 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 85 milligrams of cholesterol, 310 milligrams of sodium, 112 grams of carbohydrates, 92 grams of sugar, and 13 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Whataburger Chorizo Burger and Chorizo Taquito

Whataburger Chorizo Burger

Whataburger has two new menu items that feature chorizo — the Chorizo Burger and Chorizo Taquito.

The burger features chorizo between two all-beef patties, two slices of Monterey Jack Cheese, grilled peppers and onions, and Whataburger’s Creamy Chili Sauce on a toasted white bun.

It has 1140 calories, 75 grams of fat, 25 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 140 milligrams of cholesterol, 2100 milligrams of sodium, 60 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of sugar, 4 grams of fiber, and 56 grams of protein.

Whataburger Chorizo Taquito

Whataburger’s Chorizo Taquito comes with scrambled eggs, chorizo, and American cheese in a soft flour tortilla. This is not the first time the chain has offered the spicy sausage in a taquito. The first one was released back in 2011 at limited locations.

The breakfast menu item has 450 calories, 28 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 305 milligrams of cholesterol, 1060 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, and 19 grams of protein.

Both menu items are available for a limited time. The Chorizo Taquito is available only during late night and breakfast hours from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Jack in the Box Ribeye Burgers

Jack in the Box Ribeye Burger

Back in 2008, Jack in the Box offered burgers made with sirloin. While sirloin is no longer an option, the fast food chain now has beef patties made from a cut of meat that’s farther away from a cow’s butt.

Jack’s Ribeye Burgers with 100 percent premium ribeye beef are available in two varieties — All-American and Havarti & Grilled Onion.

The All-American version is topped with provolone cheese, spring mix, red onions, tomato, and mayonnaise on an artisan potato bun. It has 640 calories, 41 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 850 milligrams of sodium, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, 32 grams of protein.

The Havarti & Grilled Onion one comes with havarti cheese, grilled onions, tomato, mayonnaise, and a red wine glaze on an artisan potato bun. It has 670 calories, 42 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 95 milligrams of cholesterol, 870 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of saturated fat, and 32 grams of protein.

Jack in the Box’s Ribeye Burgers are available for a limited time.
