David&Goliath Makes ‘Declaration of Delicious’ for Jack in the Box

By Erik Oster 

Jack in the Box unveiled the full-length version of “Declaration of Delicious,” the regional Super Bowl spot created by agency David&Goliath. It’s the second year the agency created a regional big game effort for the brand, following last year’s “Legendary” effort and the brand subsequently officially taking over for long time incumbent Secret Weapon as agency of record.

The ad opens on Jack decked out as George Washington (who seems to be getting a fair amount of love this year) crossing the icy Delaware River. “In the battle of the burgers, one man made a Declaration of Delicious,” begins the mock-cinematic voiceover. So while Washington crossed the river to fight the British, Jack brings boxes and boxes of burgers “in the name of life, liberty and the pursuit of flavor for all,” with the “Declaration of Delicious” representing the brand’s purported commitment to “fresher, tastier ingredients.” The spot, which doesn’t really gain anything from the extended treatment, ends with a twist revealing that the narrator is a different American icon.
