In its 27 years in operation, nothing good has ever come of Cinnabon. Sure, it’s good for an awkward break-up in a shopping mall food court or a really embarrassing snack while you wait for your connecting flight to Denver, but come on.

Then again, Cinnabon is also maybe the best place in the world when you’re stoned out of your mind. Something like three joints deep. Like, really fucked up.

That had to be the methodology Cinnabon used when cooking up its latest offering—a pizza on top of one of its sticky rolls. For reals.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution broke the Pizzabon’s introduction earlier today, and for good measure—it’s a hometown favorite. Cinnabon, which is based in Sandy Springs, Ga., will be testing this new corruption of nature in an Atlanta shopping mall, with the potential for its franchisees to add the Pizzabon to their menu in the near future.

How did Cinnabon executives describe this abomination?

“In this day and age, it is incredibly important” to diversify, said Karen Bremer, executive director of the Georgia Restaurant Association. “If consumers are making the trip to your establishment, you want them to find everything they want in one place.

Broadening the menu with sandwiches attracts customers who want both, she said. And it uses ingredients more effectively, especially when coupling products with its cinnamon flavoring.

So essentially, it’s a Cinnabon—standard roll contains 880 calories and 36 grams of fat—with a pepperoni pizza on top. That’s a worse idea than a bacon sundae!

If you’re in Atlanta and you’re reading this, Cinnabon will be giving away free Pizzabons at the Cumberland mall on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. And whether this abomination remains in Georgia or quickly floods all Cinnabon locations—there’s one in Columbia Heights attached to Carvel—let’s lay down a very simple ground rule: If you’re not completely baked when you order a Pizzabon, you deserve the calories.
