Quick answer: If a Jack in the Box restaurant has run out of the glow-in-the-dark Simpsons cups when you buy a Munchie Meal of Horror, you get a voucher for the cup you paid for and 2 free tacos when you come back to redeem it after the restaurant restocks.

How the out-of-cups offer works
- Buy a Munchie Meal of Horror at a restaurant that has run out of the collectible cups.
- Ask for the voucher for the cup you paid for. Keep it with your original receipt.
- Return after the restaurant restocks to redeem the cup. You also get 2 free tacos on that visit.
Jack in the Box’s Instagram post put it this way: “Out of cups? Don’t worry, Jack’s got you,” with “2 free tacos, on me.”
Why restaurants ran out of cups
According to Dexerto, Jack in the Box said it underestimated demand for the Treehouse of Horror menu, which is why some restaurants ran out of the six collectible cups. The cups come with the Munchie Meal of Horror and are limited to supplies on hand, so a restaurant that sells out cannot hand one over until it restocks.
What to do if your restaurant is out
- Ask staff before you order whether cups are in stock. If you buy the meal anyway, ask for the voucher.
- Photograph the voucher and keep the receipt in case either is lost.
- Check the Jack app before you return, since stock differs by restaurant.
- If you only want the cup, call the restaurant first, because the offer is tied to buying the Munchie Meal of Horror.
What you are buying
The Munchie Meal of Horror includes your choice of Double Krusty Burger of Terror or Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror, two tacos, seasoned curly fries, a drink, one glow-in-the-dark cup and the meal box. The six collectible cups feature Hugo, Krusty the Clown, Marge, Kang and Kodos and more, while supplies last. See the full list in our Simpsons Munchie Meal of Horror guide, and what is on the burgers in Krusty Burger of Terror and Spooky Simpsons Sauce.
Tips before you go
- Check the Jack app first. Availability can differ by restaurant.
- Keep the voucher and receipt. They are what you show when you return.
- Restock timing was not announced, so ask the staff when to come back.
