The cookie crumbles appear to be the only difference between the 2017 Pumpkin Spice Shake and the one that came before it. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Jack-in-the-Box-Pumpkin-Spice-Shake-2017-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake  2017 2\" title=\"Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake (2017) 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ice cream and pumpkin spice syrup in my cup weren\u2019t mixed well. But after some intense stirring, I got it to the color in its promotional photo. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t make me think of pumpkin spice. Instead, it reminds me of the walls at my doctor\u2019s office. <\/p>\n<p>The shake\u2019s flavor is almost as non-festive as it looks. There\u2019s a wisp of pumpkin spice, but I don\u2019t want a wisp. Also, the whipped cream doesn\u2019t help. It dilutes the flavor even more.<\/p>\n<p>But the doctor\u2019s office-colored cloud has a silver lining. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Jack-in-the-Box-Pumpkin-Spice-Shake-2017-3.jpg?resize=598%2C406&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake  2017 3\" title=\"Jack in the Box Pumpkin Spice Shake (2017) 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ample gingersnap cookie crumbles amp up the flavor of the shake with ginger and cinnamon. Although they move it away from being a pumpkin spice shake and move it towards being a gingerbread shake. But they also take it from blah to rah and kind of make up for the fact that the pumpkin spice flavor isn&#8217;t strong.<\/p>\n<p>The ones that topped mine weren\u2019t crumbles. Instead, they were straw-clogging chunks that surprisingly maintained their crunchiness as they sat in the dairy. <\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: I prefer Jack\u2019s original Pumpkin Pie Shake over the version that came out in 2013 because its pumpkin spice popped. This latest iteration might be even weaker than the previous version, but the cookie crumbles add that punch I want. Although, if I think about it, maybe the shake itself is light because it might be overpowering if both it and the cookies provide strong flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, thanks to the cookies, I do think this version tastes better than the previous one, and I&#8217;d buy it again. But I don\u2019t think it beats the original. #OMGItsGood<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; Regular &#8211; 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.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.19*<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> Regular<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Gingersnap cookie pieces take this shake from a blah to rah and kind of make up for its lack of pumpkin spice flavor.
