"Remember the 1980s hair metal band Meat Riot? Probably not. The fictional band was featured in a 2013 Jack in the Box commercial for the Super Bowl. The ad, which you can watch on YouTube, showed Jack Box, the chain's round-headed mascot, rocking out "Spinal Tap"-style in Meat Riot, promoting a burger called Hot Mess. It featured a beef patty with pickled jalapeños and a lot of cheese on sourdough toast."
"Jack in the Box will set up a pop-up on Saturday, Feb. 14, at 1515 Abbot Kinney Blvd., about a mile from the beach. It will be serving the Hot Mess from noon to 4 p.m., according to a news release. Saturday's festivities will include free food, Jack Antenna Ball heads and some surprises, the news release said. And there will be a "special guest appearance" by streetwear brand The Hundreds, which has a tie-in "Jack Was Here! Adam Bomb Collection." The first 75 attendees will also get a free limited-edition Jack in the Box/The Hundreds T-shirt, the news release said."
