HERE is a page where some dude went to fast food joints and then photographed what he got and compared it with their advertisements. I think we've all done this, I know I have, but, he's more industrious than I am, plus he's a proffesional photographer. He tried to give them an honest chance. The Whopper cracked me up. But, these tacos are the winner, flat assed greasy shit. Come on.

Taco fail

whoa!!! major fail and false advertising to boot!!!
i don't think any food ad honestly represents the actual food! places hardly even use real food in advertisements anymore anyway!
That's true, and I don't expect the food to look like the ads. But, if I ordered two tacos I'd expect to have a meal. That aint no meal..lol. Unless you're like two years old.
Well I live in San Diego and we have plenty of Jack-in-the-Crack fast food here. This is a totally accurate photo of what their tacos look like when you actually get them.
It's not right for JBX to totally bait and switch but really...you get two of those greasy little fuckers for $0.99. And JBX is open 24-hours. So basically what I am saying is that after a night of drinking those cheap greasy sorry excuse for a taco are a little bit of soggy heaven. Yes, soggy. Which means you can eat the fucker in the car without getting a bunch of lettuce and crubled shell all over the place. It's all in how you look at things.
I've never gotten a Whopper that looks as bad as the one on his site. He must go to some urban Burger King run by bitches with attitudes who just don't care. Here everyone is chipper and actually tries half the time.
So they're easy to eat while you're driving home drunk with one hand? Nice.
That was sad...LOL... I'd would have sent it back, even if I HAD been drinking all night! Sad ass excuses for tacos!

P.S. Any future typos are due to white wine consumption...lol!
Wait...never said nothing about driving drunk Pat. Contrary to pouplar belief, you don't need to get shit face wasted every time you go out to a bar.
Also I don't eat and drive...I pull into a parking space. Texting and driving are a whole different issue though.
DD, age doesn't matter when it comes to JBX 'mystery meat' tacos. Like Anon said, when you're drunk they truly the best. Sober? Maybe not so much... :)
I don't know if it's still how Jack in the Crack still cooks their tacos but when they first came on the scene in the '70's in SoCal they put the meat raw in the shells and then deep fried them. By the looks of that photo they still cook them that way.Kids, don't try this at home it makes a big frikken mess! LOL I tried it once!
I started my first job at JBX at the age of 15, 37 years ago. That's where I met my husband so I'll always have a soft spot in my heart or them. Back then they were owned by by Ralston Purina.
They closed all the JBX's here but man I loved those tacos. Burger King here sells tacos that are almost exactly the same.
the milk on cereal commercials/& boxes is actually Elmers glue!! Cuz milk doesnt show up white enough on camera. Lots of food stylists secrets amaze me. But very believeable.

those flat tacos look like they have a square greasy meat patty in them. Its weird. PUKE!!!

EWW! Just saw the sliced cheese in the advertised tacos. I wouldnt even eat those.
Rox, and ice cream is actually some kind of dough! otherwise the ice cream would melt under the intense studio lights.
I am not a JBX customer, and I will go out of my way to not give them my business. They are a bunch of bitchy assed teenagers who don't give a crap about anything and make you wait an hour for a fucking burger. That, and my main reason is that back when I was a junior in HS (93) the news of the big JBX e-coli breakout just grossed me out enough to stay away from them.
Well if you want the nicest best trained kids to hand you greasy fat filled food thorugh the window go to Chik-fil-A. They always respond with "my pleasure". It gets a little like the Stepford Wives and they are not open on Sunday.
I never met a drive thru I did not like. I should write a book on this crap.
I saw a page like this before but I can't remember the address.
The picture of the Burger King burger is so accurate. Their burgers are always mashed flat! I like the veggie burgers though, even flat.
What a sad, disgusting taco meal.
Anon, I am comparing my local JBX to the other fast food chains in my area. I actually prefer the kids working at my local Taco Bell on the west side of Oly. Especially those working the late shift, they are super nice, and have a good attitude. If they had a tip jar and were allowed to collect tips I would leave them a good 5 bucks each time I get a bean burrito. Yes their customer service is that good. Even the west side's BK and McD's kids are better behaved and seem happier to do their job than those at JBX. Which tells me they have a better working environment. I guess it all depends on the location and on who owns the store. The local JBX must be owned and managed by a bunch of assholes that's probably why the employees are assholes. Cause they're probably treated like assholes.
Well Melissa, sounds like you got a great late night crew at the Taco Bell there. You should take a minute and write a letter to the manager - it may be a coproprate store and it would mean a lot to a kid to get an aknowledgment of some sort.
My frist job back in 1984 was at McDonalds. I loved working the drive-thru window and would always be amazed at the fatties that would order a bag full of crap and a large diet coke...huh? I mentally critique the service and food quality there to this day...it's never very consistent. It was at McDonalds that I learned the phrase "if you can lean you can clean" - minumum wage slave labor.
Here in California we're just lucky if our fast food service people habla English.
Ice cream photos are usually mashed potatos. They crack right for pics.
oops forgot to say, fast food in NZ isnt cheap either. a burger alone from BK is about $8.. if my husband, son and i all get BK it's at least $30 and we're not big eaters. We dont have $1 burgers here.

One of the restaurants I worked at back in the 90s had dessert trays that we had to lug around (I am a career waitress). The ice cream was a big old glob of margarine topped with fruit. It was so tricky trying to explain to the old folks why they couldn't have THAT dessert. They always thought I was trying to cheat them by bringing out a 'skimpy' dessert. No, I just don't want you chowing down on butter, you asswipe.
I do not eat fast food on a regular cause it is bad for you but also because my 40ish stomach cannot really take it anymore.
But when I am in the mood, I will eat a Whopper. The BK here in my area does a pretty good job with preparing. I will NOT eat at our McDs, Taco Smell, or Popeyes. Everytime I do, it does not look good..and then I am sick the rest of the day.
I do fast food maybe 6 times a year. Don't really like it, but sometimes the body is screaming for food. My favorite to grab is Wendy's Jr Bacon Cheeseburger... 99 cents + tax. Taste is decent and it takes the edge off.
The McD's in my home town used to be one of the cleanest, friendly, best service and best food presentation in the country... Ray Kroc's step daughter/ hubs & kids lived in this podunk town (he was the assit DA). No one ever knew when Ray or his wife would be flying in on the corporate jet to visit the family. Visits also meant a drop in at the local McDs. That all ended in the late 70's when they moved to San Diego, now it's just a normal fast food joint.
