Even Charlie won't finish Jack in the Box tacos..and he eats legitimate poop.
This week's Shit List could not be more literal. To say I'm not a fan of drive-through fare would be an understatement. In a town where you can indulge in Dick's or Zippy's burgers for a couple of bucks more, it seems silly to resort to the value menu for a deliciously greasy fix.

Let's just be honest: "Value" items are best reserved for the brokest of the broke or budget conscious bulimics on benders. In an effort to preserve the Weekly's, huh-hmmm, "journalist integrity" I took a bite of each of these items, just to see if they were as truly awful as they are rumored to be. For you dear readers I was willing to ingest food allegedly filled with foaming agents, meat by products and just a little binding rubber. I needn't have worried about their long term effects however, as 25 minutes after my nibble test I got so sick they came back up. The un-nibbled remainders I left to my pooch, who has as iron stomach. He didn't seem to mind them, but he also been known to chow down on other dog's feces on occasion.

So here's our salute to the lowest of the low--Five truly shitty items that prove you really do get what you pay for:

Jack in the Box- Taco Combo-2 for $.99 This ranks right up there on the list of worst foods I have ever eaten. A soggy shell,lined with processed cheese food, garnished with lettuce and taco sauce and filled with the scariest "ground beef" I've had the displeasure to taste. All around awful.
