History[]
Starting in 1980, on top of the drive thru window was a ball-shaped man inside a box (a jack in a box). Their previous ad campaign, "We're blowing up clowns!" was a controversy due to recent bomb attacks at the time. Jack in the Box seemed to be done for until employee Dick Sittig created Jack, a no-nonsense businessman with a ball-shaped head. Thus, Jack was created.
