I tried Wingstop's new '4/20-inspired' wings that don't get you high. They tasted like Pop Rocks and tires.

• Wingstop just launched a new "Blazed & Glazed" wing flavor for 4/20. It'll be in stores through April 22.
• The flavor is meant to "taste like 4/20" but won't get you high. I tried it.

If you're a cannabis consumer and wing connoisseur, then you're in luck (at least for the next day or so).

Wingstop Blazed & Glazed chicken wings

Wingstop just launched its new "Blazed & Glazed" wing flavor for 4/20, which will be in stores through April 22.

The sauce is crafted with a blend of hemp seeds, strawberry, cayenne pepper, and terpenes, which are highly aromatic compounds that create the scent of plants and herbs such as marijuana.

The new flavor may also produce a mouth-tingling sensation, although it won't actually get you high.

A wing that tastes like weed but won't get you high? I had to try it for myself. So, I decided to stop by my local Wingstop and order some bone-in and boneless wings.

Wingstop is known for its menu full of munchies — specifically, popular flavors like original hot, garlic parmesan, and lemon pepper.

So, “in celebration of the most chill day of the year” (and perhaps in preparation for the most sales in a day), the wing spot jumped at the opportunity to create a limited-edition wing.

I took a bite of my own boneless wing, and my first thought was "yuck." (Sorry, Wingstop!)

Stephanie Nieves

I was living for the quality of the chicken itself, but the flavor was not it.

Stephanie Nieves

It had the taste of weed, the smokiness of a tire, the sweetness of honey, the tingle of pop rocks, and the coolness of mint, with a hint of spice.

Stephanie Nieves

I know — I'm just as confused as you are.

Stephanie Nieves

The bone-in wing had a little less zing to it, but still contained all the contrasting flavors. I preferred the bone-in wing to the boneless wing, mostly because I'm not a fan of the flavor.

Stephanie Nieves

Here’s why: It’s one thing to eat an edible for the THC, but it’s a totally different thing to eat an edible for the taste of the weed itself.

Stephanie Nieves

That's arguably the worst part of an edible, so for Wingstop to aim for that flavor was a … choice.

You can also taste the smokiness right away. But I don't mean smoky as in charcoal — I mean smoky as in fumes. I imagined swallowing the smoke that would come from a tire after a sharp turn.

Stephanie Nieves

The sweetness is probably the best part, but it's definitely just there to balance out the other flavors. The tingling sensation is what your mouth would feel like after Pop Rocks settle on your tongue.

Stephanie Nieves

The last sensation you get from the flavor is a mild coolness. My tongue felt like I had had a Listerine strip, like, 10 minutes ago.

Stephanie Nieves

If I were high, I think this would've been fantastic. I imagine being spaced out and experiencing multiple flavors and sensations from a pile of wings, and I'm instantly entertained.

Stephanie Nieves

But while the new wings may be good with a puff, sober me is just going to have to pass.

Stephanie Nieves

Other Wingstop customers aren't loving this new flavor either, and many have taken to Twitter to share their disgust.

One Twitter user said they didn't know what they expected, but it wasn't good. Another said as a wing enthusiast, they were let down and called it an "okay" flavor with notes of "fruity pebbles."

Wingstop isn't the only franchise celebrating the holiday with a limited-edition menu item. Jack in the Box launched its new "Pineapple Express" milkshake for $4.20 on 4/20.

TGI Fridays also joined the bandwagon with a new "Blazed & Glazed" bundle, which includes three mini chicken slammers and loaded, seasoned fries.

But if you're curious about Wingstop's new flavor — high or not — you have until Friday, April 22 to try it.

That's probably fitting, anyway, because it's Earth Day.
