San Diego—(Business Wire)—Jack in the Box is collaborating with Hot Ones to introduce the Hot Ones Munchie Meal, a limited-time bundle. The collaboration references the Jack in the Box 75th anniversary and features two limited-time offerings in The Jack Pack.

An exclusive packet of The Last Dab™: Apollo is available for an additional $1.25.

“With the Hot Ones™ Sriracha Curly Fry Burger and the Chick-N-Tater Melt, we wanted to create something that felt true to both brands,” said Ciaran Duffy, Executive Chef at Jack in the Box. “The result is a bold, elevated take on familiar favorites that bring the collaboration to life in a way that still feels distinctly Jack.”
