Menu Innovation. We believe that menu innovation and our focus on higher-quality products will further differentiate Jack in the Box from competitors, strengthen our brand and attract a broader consumer audience. In support of this initiative, in fiscal 2006 Jack in the Box enhanced its menu in the following ways: expanded our line of burgers and sandwiches served on artisan, hearth-baked ciabatta bread to include the Chipotle Chicken Ciabatta and Breakfast Ciabatta sandwiches; introduced buttermilk biscuits with two sandwiches a Bacon, Egg & Cheese and Sausage, Egg & Cheese; and enhanced our real ice cream shakes, including new flavors like Vanilla Malted Crunch and Orange & Cream, by adding a retro-style swirl of creamy whipped topping and a cherry. We also leveraged partnerships with several major brand-name vendors and added the following: a fresh fruit cup from Del Monte; Minute Maid orange juice, Dannon bottled water, and a Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake made with Nestle Toll House semi-sweet morsels. Additional premium-quality products are in various stages of test and development as we continue to innovate and enhance product quality as a means to differentiate our menu from other quick-service chains
