Jack in the Box Tacos - Why Are They So Popular?

When the Wall Street Journal talks to you about tacos, you know you've done something right. At least it feels that way, 7 or 8 years deep into my competitive eating shenanigans. Back in 2008, when it all began, I never pictured myself being a subject of newspaper or magazine interviews. Apparently, eating large quantities of fast food makes your opinion relevant to things.

So, a couple weeks ago, I received a kind email asking for information relating to my experience of eating 50 Jack in the Box tacos. It's not the kind of thing people ask me about everyday. The main story was about Jack in the Box tacos - why are they so popular? And, as any internet search will show you, I was foolhardy enough to try to eat 9+ pounds worth of the stuff. Clearly, I held some opinion about WHY I'd want to eat so many of Jack's tacos.

I'll leave it to you to check out the article. It's a well-written, thoughtful read about popularity that has me wondering how long it's been since my last taco. On that note, I think I'm heading down to Jack's to sample another one (or two) of his greasy, crunchy, delicious tacos.

... And I'm not even hungover.
