Thanks to YouTube, I’ve seen some pretty corpulent culinary concoctions emerge from channels like Epic Meal Time. It looks like Jack In The Box (symbol: JACK) is testing the waters of the fat laden phenomenon that’s sweeping the internet; trying to snare some of the free viral publicity for the fast food chain. And with tens of millions of views per episode, who can blame them. According to Business Insider, the Bacon Milkshake will be offered for a limited time and customers will have to whisper their order. Vegetarians shouldn’t feel left out though, since the bacon flavoring is derived from Torani bacon-flavored syrup rather than real meat. For the curious bacon addicts who are still counting their calories, a regular sized shake weighs in at a lean 773 calories and 40 grams of fat. JACK is trading relatively flat intraday on the announcement.
