I guess instead of the puddy tat, Tweety taw a puddy Jack!<\/p>\n<p>Aaaah, Looney Tunes references &#8212; so 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>Jack in the Box&#8217;s Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches comes in a pack of three and each is made up of white meat homestyle chicken filets, a drizzle of lettuce, ranch sauce and Frank&#8217;s RedHot Sauce.  I don&#8217;t know Frank, nor do I know the reason why he made RedHot a compound word, but I do know that the sauce is tasty, although it wasn&#8217;t as redhot as I hoped.  The lack of redheat might&#8217;ve been caused by the addition of the whitecool ranch dressing, which if that&#8217;s the case, would be a shame for those who really enjoy the redspice of buffalo sauce.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of heat also might&#8217;ve been caused by the semi-conservative use of Frank&#8217;s RedHot Sauce on each mini chicken sandwich.  While I could taste the sauce, I really wish they dipped the chicken filets in the sauce, like they were Salem witches, instead of just topping them.  I think doing that might make up for the unnecessary gram of trans fat per mini sandwich.  The ranch sauce, while quite visible when pulling back the top bun, wasn&#8217;t noticeable flavor-wise, the chicken filets were slightly tough and the lettuce was just there, like the stiff-bodied person on the bottom of a sexual position who is having no fun or significantly less fun than their partner on top.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I thought the Jack in the Box Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches were decent, but they don&#8217;t come close to being as tasty as the Mini Sirloin Burgers.  I guess, for some reason, cows the size of schnauzers seem to taste better than Tweety Bird.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3 mini burgers &#8211; 738 calories, 27 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat, 51 milligrams of cholesterol, 1877 milligrams of sodium, 461 milligrams of potassium, 92 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 14 grams of sugar and 31 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Jack in the Box Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  3-pack<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Jack in the Box<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Frank&#8217;s RedHot Sauce was tasty.
