I recently blogged a silly (which is rare! I promise!) topic on combining a Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack with a Taco in honor of Jack's Jumbo Deal. Amazingly, it's become the #1 hit according to my visitor statistics. Go figah.
Anyhow, a few folks commenting mentioned Frings®, which apparently was a combination of - as obvious as it sounds - French Fries and Onion Rings! Duh.
Here's their online official documentation on it: "Gone, but not forgotten, Jack in the Box has a few renowned menu items that have gone the way of mood rings and shag carpeting, including a fish sandwich called the Moby Jack, introduced in 1970, and Frings, a combination of onion rings and french fries, introduced in 1979."
You know, now that I think about it, I don't think Kaneohe even had a Jack in the Box in 1979. Back then, IIRC, we only had McDonald's and Burger King.
Also, IIRC, the next mega-chain burger joint to arrive in Kaneohe before JITB was Wendy's. This is in Kaneohe Shopping Center where Time's Supermarket is still located. Then Wendy's left town and Jack in the Box took their spot there, but I can't remember exactly what year that was. Any "Kaneohe'ians" out there remembah?
Also, do you remember Frings®? I don't. I do remember the Moby Jack® though.
But I think the number one fast food menu item of the past folks will toast is none other than the McRib® Sandwich. I almost threw up just typing that. lol
What other fast food menu items of the past do you have memories of? Or location information, like who was there before, and who is there now? What was your favorite small keed grinds. Or a particularly-funny dine-in or drive-through/take-out experience. That kinda' stuffs.
This should be fun. (and Scriv', please don't scold me for this one!).
