If you believe bacon is only good for a burger topping or as a side with your pancakes, it’s time to think outside the box… or just stop by Jack in the Box. The fast food joint has brought bacon and ice cream together in marriage, creating an odd dessert.
Bacon and ice cream: A match made in heaven
TheHuffington Post reports that the Jack in the Box bacon milkshake is available at the fast food joint, but only for a limited time. Awesome! The sugar laden dessert is now complete with salty meat. But this isn’t just another menu item. Oh no, it’s top secret stuff.
“The shake is not listed on our menus in the restaurants, so it’s more of a ‘secret item’ that people can order,” a Jack in the Box spokesperson told the Huffington Post. “Each restaurant is getting a very limited quantity, so we don’t know how long they will last.”
The bacon appears to be out of the bag, as news of this calorie bomb spreads. A large bacon milkshake (24 ounces) packs a diet busting 1,081 calories and 54 grams of fat.
