I've always wondered how their ads aren't considered false advertising. Imagine if new car ads were as inaccurate:

Examples from the web page linked to above:
Yeah... it's like that movie scene in "Falling Down" where he orders a "Whammy Burger" with the picture looking like #1 and what he gets is #2... LMAO...
I DESPISE Jack in the Box tacos... admittedly I used to eat them when I was like five years old, but then five year olds eat a lot of stupid stuff...
The JIB tacos aren't made like Taco Bell tacos (or any taco worthy of the name...) The JIB tacos are actually made from a half-cooked (still soft) corn tortilla on an assembly line, where "automated guns" squirt the meat paste into them like caulk, then a bit of finely shredded lettuce is rained down on them, and some sort of cheese product is dispensed over them, then they're mechanically folded in half and then flash frozen at like 50 below or whatever... they're then packaged in boxes for distribution to the stores (restaurants).
When you order one, they pull these frozen things out, line them up in a basket that keeps them up on edge (like big patty hash browns at McD's) and then drop the basket into the hot oil fryer and fry the things up. This crisps up the tortilla "shell" into a semi-hard "taco shell" and heats the frozen meat, cheese, and lettuce to the point that it's edible and 'cooked'. When the buzzer goes off, they fish them out of the fryer, let them sit a bit to drain off the excess oil, and put them in the paper sleeve and call your number.
Sorry, that's not a taco... that's some sort of an abomination. A taco should be made at least the way Taco Bell makes them-- from a cooked ground beef product put into cooked (at least heated) pre-made shells, then fresh lettuce and tomatoes (if so desired-- I don't care for uncooked veggies myself so I have them hold the lettuce/toms), and then shredded cheese on top.
Those JIB tacos are disgusting...
