Jack's Late Night Munchie Meal is a packaged meal for $6 & $5 sold primarily between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., when "things at Jack in the Box get a little twisted."[1] After some testing in 2012,[2] it officially launched in September 2013.[1]

The marketing campaign surrounding Jack's Munchie Meal has been accused of targeting stoners,[3] as "having the munchies" is a common affliction associated with drug use. The website GrubGrade quipped that it's "a meal for the drunkards, the stoners, the man with glassy eyes and shaking palms."[4]

Officially, Jack in the Box maintains that it is "targeted at folks looking for indulgent treats," including late shift workers (deemed "the other nine-to-fivers"[1]) and "Millenials who get the munchies at odd hours."[5]

The supposed late-night exclusivity of Jack's Munchie Meal is something of a reversal of previous ad campaigns, such as the bus accident saga, which emphasized that Jack's full menu is available any time of day. According to one Twitter user, Jack's Munchie Meals are available during the day for $2 extra.[6]

In 2023, the "exclusive" Munchie Meal entrees were discontinued and replaced with other Jack in the Box sandwiches.

In 2014, Jack's Munchie Peel was introduced where you peel the sticker off and play it.
