The national burger joint Jack in the Box is offering Pineapple Express Shakes just in time for 420, though the frosty treats will only be available for a limited time.<\/p>\n
If you’re wondering if this promotion is a play on Seth Rogen’s iconic<\/u><\/a> stoner action flick Pineapple Express<\/em>, the answer is yes. Besides launching the shake on the officially unofficial weed holiday of April 20<\/u><\/a>, each shake will go for $4.20, Thrillist<\/em> reported<\/a>. While that may seem pricey for a non-infused drink (sorry, there’s no THC in these puppies), it’s actually a two-for-one deal, so the second shake is free.<\/p>\n Also, each sale goes to a good cause: In recognition of Earth Day, for every shake sold, Jack in the Box will plant a tree. (Get it?)<\/p>\n While it’s good to see Jack in the Box is down with legal weed, the man behind the Pineapple Express isn’t pleased with the burger joint’s latest promo. <\/p>\n On Sunday, the cannabis-loving Canadian took to Twitter<\/a> to blast the Jack in the Box campaign:<\/p>\n \u201cThis has nothing to do with the movie Pineapple Express,\u201d he tweeted in response to the fast-food chain. \u201cWe had nothing to do with this and weren\u2019t asked if we wanted our film associated with this. And obviously if we did a tie in, it would have to be to promote those bizarre fucking diarrhea inducing taco things they sell” [sic].<\/p>\n This has nothing to do with the movie Pineapple Express.
