The BIG DEAL is Back

So after dissing Jack In The Box's sirloin burger a few days ago, they quickly bounce back with the almighty BIG DEAL. This is a slight modification from the last big deal, which featured a chicken sandwich, 2 tacos, and a drink, but now you can substitute the chicken sandwich for a cheeseburger. Time to take a fatty tip from Jack and start the new year off with a big deal combo. Here's the press release.
