Little Known Jack Box Facts
Surprisingly, we haven’t covered Jack Box’s history in-depth all that much here at PopIcon. (He hasn’t even won one of the coveted spots on the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame yet!)
What we do know about Jack is he’s a mascot with plenty of lore behind him. You probably don’t know these fun facts about Jack:
- How tall is Jack? He’s 6’8” according to his California driver’s license.

- Jack ran for president during the 1996 election. In a national independent Virtual Vote poll, he beat former president Bill Clinton. No recounts were required.
