Cricket Box is Jack Box's wife. Together they have two children, Jack Jr. and an unnamed daughter.
Biography[]
Cricket and Jack met in 1989 at Meat Riot concert in Oakland, California.[1] They married at some point between October 1991 and early 1995,[2] and Cricket gave birth to their son Jack Jr. soon thereafter. The couple renewed their vows in 2009.[3]
In 2016, Cricket became pregnant with the couple's second child and her subsequent cravings spurred Jack to launch the "Brunchfast" campaign.[4] Although there was a baby shower held,[5] the only mention of a second child is a November 2018 tweet indicating a daughter.[6]
During Jack's feud with Martha Stewart in early 2018, Cricket could be heard on a message Jack left on Martha's voicemail announcing dinner was ready.[7]
Appearance[]
Cricket is considered highly attractive. A young Jack in the Box employee once expressed his desire to "win a night with her" after seeing a poster for the "Win Jack's Stuff" contest.[8]

Behind the scenes[]
Cricket has been portrayed by several actresses, including Laura Dunn[9] and Gillian Vigman.[10]
The character's first appearance was likely intended to be Phone Call, but it is unknown if that commercial ever actually aired. In that commercial, she is depicted as a redhead and implied to have a professional career, signified by her business attire. Later depictions would portray her as blonde, and the professional aspect of her character was dropped.
Cricket made her official debut in Election Ad, which aired in July 1998.[11][12] She was referred to as "Mrs. Box" until her first name was revealed in Big Announcement.[13]
Although occasionally referenced, Cricket has not made a physical appearance in Jack in the Box advertising since 2016.
