FAST FOOD NEWS: Jack in the Box Snack Pockets

Jack in the Box Snack Pockets

Jack in the Box is testing a product called Snack Pockets. It’s available in two varieties — chicken nugget with buttermilk ranch sauce and cheeseburger with secret sauce. The photo above was sent in by reader Peyten Z who took it at a Jack in the Box in Yuma, Arizona (3951 S Avenue 3 E, Yuma, AZ 85365, to be exact).

In the photo, it looks as if they’re wrapped in flour tortillas like a Taco Bell Crunchwrap. Both also appear to have a slice of American cheese. If you’ve tried the Snack Pockets or seen them at a Jack in the Box location near you, let us know in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s Bourbon BBQ Sandwiches

Arby s Bourbon BBQ Sandwiches

Remember last year’s Arby’s Bourbon Bacon Sandwiches? If so, take them, remove the creamy bourbon dijon, replace it with Kentucky Bourbon BBQ sauce, and you’ve got yourself Arby’s new Bourbon BBQ Sandwiches.

There are four of them in the lineup: one with smoked brisket, one with Angus steak, one with roast turkey, and one with all three meats. Along with the meats and BBQ sauce, the sandwiches also come with brown sugar bacon, crispy onions, smoked cheddar cheese, and a Star Cut bun.

The brisket one has 720 calories, 39 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 1600 milligrams of sodium, and 42 grams of protein.

The steak version has 610 calories, 26 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 1910 milligrams of sodium, and 41 grams of protein.

The turkey one has 590 calories, 25 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 2100 milligrams of sodium, and 39 grams of protein.

Finally, the Triple Stack has 760 calories, 36 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 2470 milligrams of sodium, and 58 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s Smoked Turkey Leg

Arby s Smoked Turkey Leg

It appears there are Games of Throne fans at Arby’s. And as you can tell by the first sentence, I do not follow the show. But I’ve seen enough “Winter is coming” references on social media to know what Arby’s is doing in its Smoked Turkey Leg promo photo above.
