Latest Real Ice Cream Shake Debuts Today at Jack in the Box® Restaurants
SAN DIEGO – Before the “Blackberry” was a communication gadget worshipped
by e-mail junkies the world over, it was … well, a berry … and a mighty tasty
one at that. Now, thanks to Jack in the Box® restaurants, the humble blackberry
is ready to take back the spotlight as the star in the quick-serve chain’s
latest real ice cream creation – the Blackberry Shake!
Available now, the Blackberry Shake is a frosty delight of real vanilla ice
cream blended with pieces of real blackberries served with creamy whipped
topping and a maraschino cherry.
“While strawberry and blueberry shakes are fairly common, blackberry is a
unique flavor that’s growing in popularity,” said Teka O’Rourke, director of
menu marketing and promotions for Jack in the Box. “Our new Blackberry Shake has
a refreshing fruit flavor our guests will find very appealing as the days grow
longer and warmer.”
Jack’s new Blackberry Shake is available in 16- and 24-ounce servings for the
suggested prices, excluding tax, of $2.49 and $2.99, respectively, at all
participating Jack in the Box restaurants.
