While not everyone has a Jack In The Box Restaurant, almost everyone knows about Jack, the Jack In The Box mascot. However, he's actually been around as long as the restaurant chain has: since 1951. Due to this, lost media was inevitable. However, the most interesting Jack In The Box lost media are the 1970s animated commercials. Only three of them are on Youtube:
Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh and voice of the Tootsie Pop Owl, did the voices for the Jack In The Box Bunch. It's most noticeable with Jack himself and Onion Ring Thing. Fun Fact: Paul Winchell also invented the artifical heart. I have some information that could potentially lead to more commercials being found, but given the age of these ads, the chances might be low. The Jack In The Box Bunch were introduced during 1971, and on various 70s era Jack In The Box products [on Worthpoint, which is very useful for learning about fast food merch], the copyrights usually mention a Jimini Productions from Hollywood, California. While Jack In The Box was never as big as Mcdonald's and Burger King, they were in a decent amount of states back then [and even now], and ads could possibly be anywhere in a 1970s compilation. Interestingly, a 1978 poster [on Worthpoint] mentions other restaurants Purina [the then-owner of JITB] owned, and other ad jingles, like "Watch Out Mcdonald's!". This topic is very interesting to me, as I find lost fast food commercial mysteries to be very interesting, but it's also infurating knowing that Jack In The Box refuses to acknowledge their past. Note that in modern Jack In The Box media with the current version of their mascot, whenever the ad flashes back to Jack's in universe past, there are no easter eggs or any reference to the pre 1990s era. Even Jack's Uncle Trillby from the 1970s Jack In The Box comics [also on Youtube, and Paul Winchell reprises the roles], isn't in any of the Jack In The Box family reunion ads. At least Mcdonald's acknowledges their history.
