Jack In The Box Is Testing $4.20 "Munchie Meals" For Stoners in California

RGJ - Knowing that marijuana smokers can get serious hunger pangs, one fast-food chain is looking to take advantage of the start of California’s legalization of pot for recreational use.

San Diego-based Jack in the Box plans will sell a weed-themed Merry Munchie Meal at three southern California locations in mid-January.

In November 2016, Californians approved Proposition 64, which legalized sales of recreational marijuana for adults starting Monday, the beginning of the new year.

The limited-time offer is in partnership with cannabis lifestyle website Merry Jane — itself an allusion to marijuana’s “mary jane” nickname — backed by rapper and TV game-show host Snoop Dogg.

The meal box, part of Jack in the Box’s late-night menu, has half-servings of curly fries and onion rings, two tacos, five mini churros, three crispy chicken strips and a small drink. The price is $4.20 — April 20, or 4/20, is “Weed Day” — plus tax.

I saw that gif and was like “I wonder how long people will watch that gif waiting for it take off?” I went 35 seconds.

But anyway, great idea by Jack In The Box. California just legalized weed, stoners love fast food, it’s a match made in heaven. I will say though, JITB is pretty overrated. Some of the grossest food I’ve had. While In-N-Out lives up to, perhaps even surpasses the hype, JITB is bad and will give you bubble guts for days on after. It won’t stop stoners across the great land of California from going in droves to get the Munchie Box though. It’s really called the Munchie Meal but Munchie Box sounds so much better. That one’s free, next one will cost ya.
