The Medium Soft Drink is one of the recognizable beverages options on the Jack in the Box menu, and it sits squarely in the chain's burgers identity.

If you are ordering through a third-party delivery app, prices may be marked up modestly versus the in-store list price, so checking both options is worthwhile for frequent orderers.
