Jack in the Box brings back fan-favorite side as customers tell KFC to take notes'

JACK in the Box has bought back a fan-favorite side dish once served by KFC.

Customers are telling the chicken chain to “take notes” as they enjoy the burger joint’s new menu offering.

Jack in the Box has introduced potato wedges as a side dish at its approximately 2,200 restaurants.

There are two “sauced” options to choose from:

Both feature melty shredded Cheddar, cheese sauce, and bacon crumbles.

‘TAKE NOTES’

“If only KFC could take notes.” wrote one on Reddit.

“Yeah, KFC's current fries are just not it,” agreed another user.

The chicken restaurant decided to switch to fries three years ago despite a near-70-year history of serving its secret recipe meals with wedges.

It’s not the first time Jack in the Box has taken the opportunity to adopt the KFC fanbase by serving up discontinued items.

When KFC shocked customers by ditching popcorn chicken earlier this year, Jack in the Box added it to the menu as a limited-edition item.

But Jack in the Box and KFC aren’t the only fast-food restaurants that are keeping fans on their toes with menu options.

Taco Bell is testing out a bunch of new items, ranging from spicy Chile chicken to a grilled cheese dipping taco.

The chain even bought back a fan-favorite burrito after customers voted for the item they missed the most.
