But the writers behind "This Is the End" and "Superbad" admit that their upcoming R-rated animated movie, "Sausage Party," was born from such an encounter.
While doing a panel for the Producers Guild of America in the summer of 2014 (watch here), Goldberg explained that some weed-smoking with Jonah Hill helped nail down the movie.
"It started out with a bunch of dudes and then Jonah said, 'What if it was literally sausages?' and it became our passion project," Goldberg said.
While recently talking to Business Insider, Rogen confirmed that weed was involved and went into a little more detail about the origins of the plot.
"It actually came from me and Jonah and my wife having dinner together," Rogen said. "We started talking about what it would be like if we made a Pixar-style movie about food and how f---ed up that would be and how potentially hilarious it would be. And that was almost 10 years ago, and we've been tirelessly trying to make it ever since then."
You can see how the idea turned out when "Sausage Party" hits theaters August 12. But for now, here's the trailer.
