Jack in the Box, which is going all out for its 75th anniversary with new menu items and fun merch, has officially become the first fast-food chain (at least one that focuses on food, not beverages) to introduce matcha to its menu. While coffee shops like Starbucks and Dunkin have long embraced the coffee alternative, this marks the first time a chain most well-known for its food offerings, like tacos and burgers, has hopped on the bandwagon. The U.S. locations of Burger King, Wendy\u2019s, and McDonald\u2019s, for example, do not have matcha on their menus.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1fm2v8u e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-18s47pf e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But Jack in the Box isn\u2019t just serving matcha; it has invented a whole new Matcha Platform to showcase the vibrant Japanese tea in all its glory. Currently, the chain offers two matcha-forward beverage options: the Matcha Iced Latte and the Oreo Matcha Shake. The latte features matcha tea swirled with sweetened cream and vanilla over ice, while the shake blends matcha tea into creamy vanilla ice cream with Oreo cookie crumbles, then tops it with whipped cream. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The new beverages were recently rolled out nationwide, and fans of the chain are already drooling. \u201cWHAAAAA- THAT LOOKS SOOO GOOD,\u201d one fan commented on a social post. \u201cREVOLUTIONARY as always what more do we need from you jack,\u201d another person commented. <br data-node-id=\"6.1\"\/><\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cOkay now this is EPIC,\u201d one fan wrote. \u201coH??? jack in the box i was unfamiliar with ur game\u2026.\u201d another person chimed in. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThe Matcha Shake was \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25,\u201d one fan declared.
