Jack in the Box Bonus Jack

Bonus Jack is a hamburger offered by the American fast-food restaurant chain Jack in the Box. It was first introduced in the late 1960s as a response to the Big Mac sold by McDonald's. The Bonus Jack is similar in concept to other double-decker hamburgers, featuring two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and a special sauce, all served on a three-part bun.

History[edit | edit source]

The Bonus Jack was introduced during a period of significant innovation and competition in the fast-food industry, with chains seeking to differentiate themselves through unique menu items. The introduction of the Bonus Jack was part of Jack in the Box's strategy to capture a share of the growing market for larger, more filling sandwiches. Over the years, the Bonus Jack has been removed and reintroduced to the menu several times, reflecting changing consumer tastes and the competitive landscape of the fast-food industry.

Composition[edit | edit source]

The core components of the Bonus Jack include:

  • Two beef patties
  • American cheese
  • Lettuce
  • Pickles
  • Special sauce
  • Triple-part bun

The sandwich's special sauce is a key feature, adding a distinctive flavor that differentiates it from similar offerings at other fast-food restaurants.

Reception[edit | edit source]

The Bonus Jack has enjoyed a loyal following among fans of Jack in the Box, with its reintroductions often greeted with enthusiasm. However, like many fast-food items, it has also faced criticism from nutritional experts for its high calorie and fat content.
