<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Update 9\/30\/21:<\/strong> It appears Jack in the Box’s Potato Wedges have been taken off the menu. Such a sad day. <\/p>\n Late to the Party posts are about products or brands that have been around for a long time, but I’ve only experienced recently for the first time.<\/em><\/p>\n I think Jack in the Box\u2019s fries are mediocre.<\/p>\n But I can\u2019t help but think they\u2019re supposed to be that way. I don\u2019t want to start any fast food conspiracies, like Grimace is actually an extremely expired ketchup packet, but perhaps they\u2019re average because Jack really wants us to order the better tasting, and slightly more expensive, curly fries.<\/p>\n Look, I\u2019m suggesting that without even knowing the curly fries\u2019 profit margins. And I might be boring you with talk of profit margins. So let me get straight to the point. There is a fried potato product on Jack in the Box\u2019s menu that I believe is superior tasting to its regular AND curly fries AND is cheaper \u2014 Potato Wedges.<\/p>\n Jack has had these on his menu FOR YEARS, so I\u2019m super late to the party. It wasn\u2019t until last year, when I started mobile ordering from the Jack in the Box app that I learned I could swap the standard fries with potato wedges, and do so without an upcharge like there is with curly fries. I haven’t had Jack’s regular fries since.<\/p>\n When I first tried them, I was blown away by how much better tasting they were. The coating has a light seasoning that’s good enough that I don’t need to dip them into anything if I forget to ask for ketchup packets. It also gives the finger food a pleasant crispiness that doesn’t get limp during the trip home.<\/p>\n But I think what I\u2019ve been impressed by is how crispy the exterior and fluffy the interior has been every time I’ve purchased them. Although, there was that one time, and I don’t know if this is a bonus or not, or something that happens regularly or not, they tasted like Jack in the Box tacos.<\/p>\n I assume the potato wedges’ freshness is the result of being fried when ordered and not produced in large batches that sit like the French and curly fries.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, while the wedges are cheaper than French fries if you order them a la carte, they don\u2019t lower the cost of a combo meal if you swap them in.<\/p>\n To some of you, the greatness of Jack in the Box’s Potato Wedges may not be a revelation. But now I know about them, and it makes me sad that I could’ve been eating these wonderful potato wedges all this time instead of Jack’s inferior fries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Update 9\/30\/21: It appears Jack in the Box’s Potato Wedges have been taken off the menu.
