"Got a couple eggs? hahaha", No. But I do have a knuckle sandwhich!!
I remember there being a huge issue in 1993 with them involving an E. coli outbreak that killed 4 kids about the time they seemed to disappear from IL. Though I couldn't find anything about that being the cause of them leaving at the time. What I did find is that this year, there were 13 Jack in the Box's in IL. However the owners of the franchise both in IL and Missouri filed for bankruptcy in February due to the pandemic. They have now all closed.
I think you mean statewide in terms of Missouri. They only have locations near St. Louis and Kansas City.
Oh that stinks. I remember looking awhile back and there were still a few in Southern Il and on their website says they are still around.
yes it happened here in the state of washington the first e-coli case i havent been to one til 2012
The problem was traced to a meat processing facility owned by the Vons supermarket chain not properly maintaining the cleanliness of their meat grinders. But also, states like Washington and Oregon got hit the hardest because their cooking temperature mandates were set too low. California didn't get hit as hard because the state's temperature mandates were higher. A higher temperature could've saved a lot of grief.
After Washington and Oregon raised their temperature mandates, Jack in the Box needed to make their image over. In the fall of 1994, they started an ad campaign called "Jack's Back" which continues to this day. It began with Jack (a character in a suit and an oversize Jack head mask played by the ad company exec who dreamed up the campaign) walking into Jack in the Box headquarters and blowing up the board of directors, the ones who blew him up in 1980.
(I'm a former Chicagoan now living in Los Angeles.)
@@dalethelander3781 Vons That Supermarket Chain is from the Los Angeles area. I had no idea they were a supplier of Jack in the Box ground beef at the time of the E.Coli incident in the 1990's. And yes Jack in the Box is from California and they are still big here in the entire state.
When I went to Rolling Meadows High School, me & a couple of buddies who turned me on to pot, we'd go to the Jack In The Box for lunch, & my usual combo was 2 tacos, 2 super tacos & a large strawberry shake, oh the good old days back in the late seventies
I faintly recall they had great tacos.
Not better than a basic taco place, but good enough for a burger place.
The burger store guy is just completely brutal for absolutely no reason whatsoever.😄
Got a couple of eggs ¡?
Like the "tiny little pieces parts and parts is parts" guy in the 80s?
Across from Lane Tech on Western and Addison. It was a Jack in the Box then Naugles then Taco Bell
I went to the one around North and Harlem. The Breakfast Jack's ALWAYS had egg shells in them! Many Burger Kings sell the same Tacos that JITB had.
Hell yeah Chicago had a Jack in the Box back then, I'm surprised no one remembers.
I loved Jack in the Box. I still remember I liked the tacos and burgers. I found out that they still have a few in Southern Illinois and when I go visit my friend I plan to go to one.
I’m old enough to remember Jack in the Box being in the area, but I never ate there.
That diverse menu is probably why they didn't catch on.
I wish Jack in The Box would come back to Illinois. That way they’re won’t be too many McDonald’s, Starbucks or Dunkin’ locations.
Well, well, well. Look at you.
My parents talked about a Jack in the Box that was located in Cal City in the seventies. I think it might have been somewhere along River Oaks Drive since my mom claimed it was near River Oaks.
I love seeing these vintage commercials. I wonder if anyone has or knows about the animated 1970s Jack In The Box ads, besides the three [Baseball, In The Park, and one simply titled Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s] already on UA-cam? I've been searching for some forever. Also, fun fact, Paul Winchell did the voices, and you can especially tell with Jack and Onion Ring Thing.
They were in Chicago until my sophomore year of high school (79-80). You used to go to the drive-thru and talk to the clown. They pulled out of Chicago and their Northeastern markets when they did a rebrand and "blew up the clown". They are all over the place in the Southwest and on the West Coast.
Never knew Chicago once has Jack In The Box restaurants. I for one don't miss them after all the scary stories my aunt told me about them.
All those issues were cleared up and fixed in 1993 following the e. coli incident.
The only Jack in the Box I went to in Chicago was the one at Chicago Avenue and Michigan Avenue across from the actual Water Tower, next to the Gap. This was back when Fall in to the Gap was the Gap's slogan. That's the first tacos I'd ever had.
There was one on Dundee west of 53 in the mid to late 70’s. I think it was gone by 1980.
I live right near there. I wonder if it became a Wendy's (which has been empty for about 10 years, I think) There also is a Currency Exchange on Rand Rd which looks like it was a PIzza Hut in the 70's
From what I was told, there was couple more in that area - NW Highway and Palatine Rd (torn down/now a Walgreens) and Kirchoff Rd in Rolling Meadows (Now Fratello's Hot Dogs and the building still looks the same). Also, that Jack/Wendy's on Dundee was bought by Krispy Kreme, so watch for that to change soon. The Pizza Hut on Rand was open as late as 2003 (memories of taking my daughter for the lunch buffet after she was finished for the day in Kindergarten).
There were two that I recall, in the far northern suburbs; Zion had one on Sheridan Rd (the building later was used for a real estate agency) and one in Waukegan at Grand and McAree, across from Quonset Pizza (legendary to Waukegan). As I remember, the food was no worse nor especially better than any other fast food joint. I DID like the apple pies they had. The tacos, like Jack Demus said, were like the ones you can get at Burger King. I think it was a trick of youth that only anyone under 25 thought those tacos were good (though to be fair, I do still like BK's tacos in that weird sort of "yeah-they're-lousy-but-oddly-good way).
There was one on Dempster St. in Skokie in the 70s..I should know i worked there!
The old Chicken n Spice in downtown Joliet used to be a Jack in the Box.
Why is it every time I hear the name Chicken and Spice I start thinking of John Mellencamp’s “Paper in Fire” and sing it with new lyrics?
I remember the one on Joe Orr Rd. In Chicago Heights
I lived in Zion when I was a kid and we had one. Moby Jacks were my favorite.
There was one in Chicago Heights in the 70's.
That and a Prince Castle. Hmmm square ice-cream.
Would that have been on Lincoln Highway? I remember there were many fast-food chains there.
@@RadioLaPrincess I think the Jack in the Box was on Joe Orr, The prince castle was on lincoln highway By Roosevelt School.
@@salty6pence672 That makes sense. I used to go around that street for restaurants. Not sure if I remember Prince Castle there but remember one in Harvey.
@@salty6pence672 You're probably right. I think it was across from Olympia plaza.
The guy narrating is the same guy who would later do the ads for one of Jack’s rivals, Wendy’s…
I am old enough to remember them being here.
Lived in South Chicago Heights in the early 70's. Remember my mom taking my through the drive thru and the big Jack Head being there. I think some food poisonings deaths out west at other locations caused a contraction of restaurants.
The DC and Baltimore markets had Jack as well until about 1980-1981; they were mainly replaced with Wendy’s, Taco Bell, or Popeyes
NJ is another place that used to have it decades ago but no longer does. People don't believe me when I say we had it here. I don't remember if I ever actually ate there but definitely remember it.
I went to HS in a Chicago suburb. There was a Jack near the school. I think they used to have 25 cent taco specials sometimes and we'd go over there and eat 5 or 6 at a time.
My dad loved their burgers. I liked their shakes. I think it was on LaGrange Road in LaGrange, somewhere south of 55th.
One in La grange or around there in the early 1970s, I believe. I was in grade school then and remember the drive through. 1970s in the western suburbs was great! I had a blue Schwinn typhoon a skateboard with clay wheels 1972,73, the pet Parade...
In La Grange? Very cool! Where in La Grange?
@@wounded625132 7th street. A few blocks from downtown. La grange had a great movie theater, hobby shop...
@@Mark.G475 thanks! I am from La Grange and absolutely love the history of downtown La Grange and the surrounding area. The movie theater is still there but it hasn't reopened, yet. I hope so badly it makes it through. The theater and Ace Hardware, I think, are the oldest surviving businesses on the strip right now.
@@wounded625 you should look up the movie/tv stars that were in the pet Parade back in the 1950s and 60s, it's amazing. I also read once that the The Marx brothers had a farm/house in La Grange in the 1920s? I don't know if that's true. Mark in Milwaukee 🧀🍻
NOT AT ALL LIKE THAT HERE ANYMORE. 😢
I remember there being a Jack in the Box in Elgin when I was a little kid in the 70s. We moved to the south side in 1978.
I was born and raised in Elgin. It was on the NW corner of Dundee and Kimball. It closed around 1979-80 and became a Popeye's when Jack in the Box was purchased by Ralston Purina and scaled their operations back to west of the Rockies and Texas.
@@dalethelander3781 I remember that. I was devastated when I decided to check out Elgin on the way to Dekalb some time in the 90s and found that old fire truck in front of Trout Park was gone. I still think about the days feeding the ducks at Lords Park with my grandfather and driving on Rte 25 to get to the K-Mart. I am glad the buffalo were still residing at Lords Park as of 2019, the last time I was in Elgin.
Seem to recall on on North Ave. in Addison or Glen Ellyn?
I grew up in the south suburbs…we used to go to the one in Chicago Heights. There was a Red Barn there too (I think that’s what it was called…)..
Hot damn! ☺️😆
I remember seeing the big "Jack In The Box" toy thing on top of a building as a kid, but I think it was no longer in business. It was somewhere on the West Side. I had always wondered about that place.... 🤔
I can't remember what years in particular but there was one on the corner of Fullerton and Central across from Hanson Park :)
Wow jack in the box had good commercials even back then lol
It never conquered Portland either, despite the presence of one location in SE by the Ross Island bridge.
The VO in this ad also did Wendys ads in the 80s and 90s.
I have never been to a Jack In The Box. definitely have to put it on my bucket list.
🤯🤯 Still Haven't Had It ☹️
There was one on the corner of Stare and Michigan Ave in the 70's and my high school was nearby. It had two floors and was where we would hang out. Loved the food.😋
'State and Michigan Ave...'
Wait.. Are There actually a few jack in a box's location in Illinois? Because if so, That the biggest culture shock I gotten, since I always have though that only an California exclusive. But the fact that they exist as far back as ..the 70's?! Damn, this is an bigger culture shock that the last one.
Whatever, might consider eating there for the weekend. I Already can taste that jumbo jack and those tacos going into me mouth right 'bout now.
I lived near the one that was on Clark and Peterson in Edgewater, loved that it was open 24 hours, i'd stop there for some breakfast onion rings on my way to class at Senn.
There was one on 83rd and Cottage Grove when I was a kid in the late 1970s
Wasn't there one that was Across 110th Street too? :-)
We used to hang out at the Jack in the Box in Oak Lawn on Cicero.
The Popeyes on Addison and Western was a Jack In The Box, from what I’ve heard.
Jack in the crack
Now you're cracking Jack
I think the last Jack and the Box in Chicago if I remember was North Ave and Harlem in 1984?
It had to be eatlier than that. Ralston Purina bought JITB around 1979 and by the next year they closed all restaurants east of the Rockies.
I've been to North & Harlem over the summer in Chicago, the Sears store is gone, now it's just a vacant lot.
Used to have it in New York too
I remember one in Upstate NY. Used to have to speak into a clown head to order!
I mean New Jersey and Southern New York, like New York City
oh how i miss the steak sandwiches from jack in the box they were so good .
My Dad didn't like Jack in the Box but I thought they were great and use to bicycle to the one in Rolling Meadows. We moved out of state about the time of this commercial so I don't know what happened to them.
Lars, don't get me started on your drumming...
@@dalethelander3781 "Shave & a hair cut... two bits." ;)
@@larsulrich2761 That's the entire 20-minute drum solo of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."
great commercial
Before Jack in the Box Guy
They pulled out of the Boston area as well...
"Jack In the Crack".
There was one in Elgin.
I worked at the one on Archer and Narragansitt for a while. Heres a couple of more rare ones, Yankee Doodle Dandy and Italian U-Boat.
I LOVED Yankee.
I knew that there was one. right in oak lawn on 103rd and Cicero right where arena bowl was.
I thought he was Hunter S Thompson!
This is a fairly long commercial for fast food 1 min?
What are all the comments talking about how jack didn’t catch on and hope it makes a comeback?? There’s more jack than 711 around me
Didn’t catch on in Chicagoland they mean.
I already knew because apparently when she was pregnant with me, she lived on oranges and JITB tacos.
Can I have some e coli to go?
You want fries with that?
That’s Chipotle. Because you can’t spell Chipotle without e.coli
@@chrisw6164 it is an old joke from when I was younger. Jack had a salmonella scare....twice.
So we used to pull up to the drive-thru and order something and when they said do you wish anything else someone would yell out can we have some e coli to go. Usually there would be a lot of laughing by the younger employees in the drive-thru.
@@carmelopappalardo8477 Gross lol
What an odd title. Proof? Was anyone disputing that it was in Chicago? Very weird that someone made it such a bone of contention as to warrant such a response.
It was meant to be mildly humorous. Also, this is literally the first Jack in the Box commercial I've ever found on a Chicago-based recording, so it is quite rare to find "proof" in the form of a commercial broadcast.
0:58
Who needed proof?

Chicago is not mentioned in that commercial. Where is the proof that Jack in the Box was in the Chicagoland area?
Read the video description - this commercial aired within a Chicago station broadcast.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTVWhere is the proof? The description is not proof.
That IS the proof. I guess you’ll just have to take our word for it.
They was a Jack In the Box at 79th & Halsted in Chicago. One of my aunts used to live two blocks away from it but I never went there.
