What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen on a Jumbotron at a sporting event?
I bet a man lighting up a single rib with his lighter is up there.
Over the weekend, a video of a man at the Grambling State and Southern game who looked like he was rolling a blunt and heating it up on the Jumbotron went viral.
A blunt is a cigar that has been hollowed out and filled with cannabis. It is rolled with the tobacco-leaf “wrap”, usually from an inexpensive cigar, or any other wrap that isn’t a joint paper that has glue. A blunt is different from a joint, which uses rolling papers.
The practice originated in cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Blunts take their name from Phillies Blunt brand cigars, although any commonly available inexpensive cigar or cigarillo may be used, depending on suitability and availability. Other common synonyms for a blunt include “El-P” or “L” (from the El Producto brand) and “Dutch” (from Dutch Masters). Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, White Owl and 4ks cigars/cigarillos are other popular brands for rolling blunts.
Blunts also come as ready made tobacco wraps with hundreds of flavors across numerous brands. In addition to using cheap cigars and cigarillos to smoke cannabis, cigar wraps or “blunt wraps” are also used.
In the tobacco industry, a blunt is defined as a cigar that is wider than a cigarillo and not quite as wide as a Corona. A cigarillo that has been split and re-rolled with marijuana is still called a blunt in cannabis culture.
Too viral because it got back to the family, and they had to clear things up.
He wasn’t rolling a blunt to smoke it. He was heating up a single rib so he could eat it. There were no other ribs in sight, so it seemed like the man just had the rib in his pocket or something.
Twitter had a field day finding out it went from heating up a blunt to heating up a single rib.
