Got the Munchies? Here’s Why Chicken Wings Are The Best Food to Help You Conquer Your 420 Cravings

Sunday, April 20th, 2025. It’s Easter Sunday, and people all over the world are getting together with their friends and family to celebrate. The dinner table is set, a big feast of food is prepared, and everyone gathers around in their Sunday best to celebrate the season. We love a good old-fashioned family celebration, but this year, we couldn't help but notice that another important holiday is taking place on the exact same date. It’s not as widely-known as Easter, but millions of people celebrate it every year in a unique way that involves a good amount of the devil’s lettuce…

That’s right; we’re talking about 420.

When Did 420 Become A Thing?

There’s a lot of myths surrounding why 4/20 became the de facto date for smoking green, but most historians agree that it all started on the campus of San Rafael High School in the Bay Area of California. A group of students would gather at 4:20 pm–just after classes would let out–and smoke joints in each other’s company. They would pass notes and write letters mentioning this time of day, and eventually, “4:20 pm” was shortened to “420.” This new term eventually caught on with the rest of the public, and April 20th has since been cemented as an unofficial national holiday. 

How Can I Get Over The Munchies?

For some, there’s nothing quite like chilling with your friends and puffing some jazz cabbage (our new favorite term for the green stuff). However, anyone who’s smoked a little green knows that getting the munchies is an inevitable part of the experience. That’s why many people keep chips, candy, soft drinks, and other (mainly junk) foods around for snacking on. Sometimes, however, snacks just aren't enough. The best way to conquer the munchies is by getting protein-rich food into your system; chicken wings, sandwiches, and tenders are all great choices for satisfying your cravings since they pack tons of flavor and are very filling–plus there’s tons of flavor options to choose from.
