Jack in the Box first started serving its Munchie Meals—nighttime meal offerings that are exclusively sold between the hours of 9 PM and 5 AM—in 2012, and as of the new year in California, full marijuana legalization goes into effect. To celebrate the legalization of recreational cannabis in California, Jack in the Box is teaming up with Merry Jane (a cannabis-focused digital media platform created by Snoop Dog) to offer a limited-edition 'Merry Munchie Meal.'
Inside the Merry Munchie Meal, the collaborators are teasing "the most craveable and snackable products that Jack in the Box has to offer," including fries, onion rings, tacos, mini churros, chicken strips and a small drink. In terms of price, the Merry Munchie Meal is being sold for a fitting price of $4.20.
