For years fast food chains more or less catered to late-night cannabis consumers, without ever making it official—that is up until recently. In 2018, the Chronic News’ running list of fast food joints offering deals this April 20 includes, but is not limited to: Wingstop, Cheba Hut, Del Taco, Jimmy John’s, Chronic Tacos, Jack in the Box, and Fatburger.

It is very common to report on the munchies. As a first step, many mainstream food outlets that are able to satisfy the munchies have begun to embrace cannabis. 

There are many 420 fast food deals that can go wrong. In 2019, Carl’s Jr. launched the infamous CBD burger, the CBD-infused “Rocky Mountain High: CheeseBurger Delight,” but only the limited edition Santa Fe Sauce contained 5mg of CBD. Other marketers have gone beyond the limits of marketing.

Let’s take a look at what chains are openly marketing to cannabis consumers. Fast food restaurants are being creative this year with additional terpenes and rolling papers. They also offer free delivery so that you don’t have to drive while stoned.

Wingstop

Wingstop is honoring their cannabis-loving patrons with a limited-edition, terpene-infused flavor, Blazed & Glazed, which is only available from April 18 through 22, while supplies last. You can order from anywhere in the country at Wingstop.comYou can also use the Wingstop app.

The new flavor balances ingredients such as a terpenes, hemp seeds, strawberry, and cayenne pepper to give fans “the second-best herbal experience they could have on 4/20.” Wink-wink. 

“Flavor is what puts Wingstop in a category of one, and we recognize that many fans turn to our brand to satisfy their munchies craving, Wingstop Chief Growth Officer Marisa Carona told Chronic News. “In typical Wingstop fashion, we wanted to go one step further and create a limited-time flavor for 420 that has a unique flavor profile, and may even produce a mouth-tingling sensation.” 

“So, we bring you Blazed & Glazed,” she said.

Blazed & Glazed wings don’t contain any THC, but any experienced cannabis consumer knows that terpenes are part of the magic when it comes to flavor. 

Wingstop is even taking part in one of San Francisco’s biggest holiday get-togethers where smokers converge on a massive scale. The Wingstop food truck will be bringing free Blazed & Glazed wings directly to Hippie Hill in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on April 20. Imagine the festival goers’ hunger pangs being satisfied.

Cheba Hut

Chebahut is joining the fray, you can guess. This April 20, Cheba Hut, a cannabis-inspired restaurant, is partnering with Long Play, a national cannabis portfolio company that prioritizes sustainable cultivation practices, to offer “nug-sized sandwiches” that are served on a frisbee with a side of Willie’s Reserve™ rolling papers for, you guessed it, $4.20.

But Cheba Hut’s approach to its deal sets it apart from the rest. Each rolling paper comes with a QR code that customers can scan to enter for a chance to win a trip to the The Emerald Cup in Hollywood, along with two Willies Reserve™ gift packs. You must be at least 21 years of age to participate in the QR code giveaway. The winner will be announced May 2nd.

This deal is valid at Cheba Hut locations across 15 US states: Arkansas, Arizona and California; Colorado, Florida; Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana; Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas; Wisconsin.

“Cheba Hut is a Colorado-based company, and Willie’s Reserve is also based in Colorado,” Nicole Kennebeck, marketing director at Willie’s Reserve™ told Chronic News. “That’s where Long Play is also based. Both of us saw the opportunity to raise our voices together in a playful way. It wasn’t just focused on cannabis sales, but as the cannabis community as a whole. 

“Cheba Hut makes cannabis strain-named sandwiches so it’s a fun space for us to be in,” Kennebeck added. Cheba Hut Toasted Subs was started in 1998 by Scott Jennings. Before other subs were toast, it offered 420 deals annually.

Del Taco

This year, Del Taco isn’t missing out either. For a limited time, Del Taco will offer Five Chicken Cheddar Rollers at $4.20. 

“Del Taco’s 4/20 Rollerdaze deal is timed to coincide with the unofficial national cannabis holiday to fulfill those mass munchie needs, but whether you wake and bake or don’t partake everyone can enjoy a smokin’ deal in the Del Yeah! Rewards app to try the new Chicken Cheddar Rollers,” the company stated in a news release.
