America loves weed. With marijuana now legal in so many states, and, indeed, even our nation's capital now allowing medical marijuana to be sold legally, there has been an even greater influx of stoners in search of food, perusing their local 24-hour convinience stores with a mean case of the munchies. And, fast food restaurants and big food companies have not failed to notice.
In fact, places like Taco Bell, with its "Fourth Meal" menu—the meal eaten between dinner and breakfast, ya feel us?—and the even-less-subtle targeting from restaurants like Cheba Hut, are paying extra attention and taking good care of tokers everywhere. Today, you can get munchies like Rob Dyrdek's Big Mouth Burrito, which contains exactly 420 calories each (we can almost see Dyrdek winking at us now), and Carl's Jr.'s Strawberry Pop Tart Ice Cream Sandwich, so stoners can have a delicious and danky time. Check out our History of Foods Marketed Towards Stoners, and be sure to have a snack on hand.

Strawberry Pop Tart Ice Cream Sandwich
Company: Carl's Jr.
Gone are the days when you have to fix yourself a ridiculous treat when you're blitzed! Now at Carl's Jr., you can order a Strawberry Pop Tart Ice Cream Sandwich. Oh god, oh god, please let them make a S'mores Pop Tart version next!
Munchies Snack Mix
Company: Frito-Lay
Frito-Lay invented this trail mix for those times when we can't decide on what snack we want to eat, which just so happens to be a common occurence when people are too faded to function. Also, it's called the "Munchies Snack Mix." Hmm...
Half Baked Ice Cream
Company: Ben & Jerry's
It's called the "Half Baked Ice Cream." Ben & Jerry's named it so because it's a flavor packed with baked fudge brownies and chocolate chip cookie dough along with vanilla and chocolate ice cream. It's the only thing you should be consuming when you're completely baked.
Bacon Shake
Company: Jack in the Box
Likewise, the Bacon Shake was definitely created so blazers everywhere could get their fix of something sweet and, well, bacon.
Donut Burger
Company:: Slater's 50/50
The Donut Burger from Slater's 50/50 is a rich combination of the sweet and salty. It's a sunny-side-up egg sandwiched between two glazed donuts. Sounds like a trippy adventure for our taste buds!
Mountain Dew A.M.
Company: Taco Bell
Because no one other than a pothead would want a Mountain Dew in the morning. No one. Although, a Mountain Dew A.M. isn't just straight soda. It's mixed with orange juice, too.
Bacon Sundae
Company: Burger King
We don't think this really needs an explanation. Burger King either knew people everywhere would love them a good Bacon Sundae after smoking a bit fat joint, or they figured people would enjoy bacon in general. Both are correct.
Mac & Cheese Nibblers
Company: White Castle
Likewise, White Castle's Mac & Cheese Nibblers are pretty darn good as well. It's ideal for times when you're too smoked out to use a fork to eat real macaroni and cheese. White Castle provided tokers with the perfect fix—mac and cheese in bite-sized chunks!
The Baconator
Company: Wendy's
Because there's nothing like bacon on bacon after you've just hit the bong.
P'Zone
Company: Pizza Hut
Cause when you're high, you'll want both a pizza and a calzone. The only solution to this dilemma? A P'Zone! Thanks, Pizza Hut.
Famous Bowl
Company: KFC
It's no coincidence that this famous meal from KFC, made up of crispy fried chicken, mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, and sweet corn, is called the Famous Bowl. It's the perfect bowl to follow after smoking a packed bowl.
McGriddle
Company: McDonald's
McDonald's is well acquainted with the term "wake and bake," and this sandwich is proof. A McGriddle consists of eggs, sausage, and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of griddle cake and maple syrup. A creation this ingenious ensures potheads everywhere will hit up McDonald's before anywhere else at the start of their day. What a brilliant marketing plan.
Frosty
Company: Wendy's
Not only is the Frosty the best fast food frozen treat ever created, it's also the perfect cold treat to have after blazing. Something about the savory chocolate dessert just tastes even better when stoned.
Snickers 3x Chocolate Bar
Company: Snickers
Okay, this one might be a bit of a stretch, but a 3.14 oz packet of Snickers 3x Chocolate Bar comes with two little chocolate bars. Guess how many calories are in each chocolate bar? 210. What's 210 calories doubled? 420, my friend.
Pothead Ring Pots & Pothead Lollipops
Company: Kalan LP
A company by the name of Kalan LP outraged politicians and parents in 2011 for selling "Pothead Ring Pots" and "Pothead Lollipops." They're candies, which don't contain any marijuana in them, but have been shaped to look like large pot leaves. The company did not have the intention of encouraging young kids to try drugs, as so many people thought. They were merely trying to promote legalization, targeting adult smokers.
Toasted Subs
Company: Cheba Hut
Aside from toasted subs, Cheba Hut also offers stuff like Majic Mushroom, Danks, Kush, Jamaican Reds, and more. In fact, Cheba Hut explicitly says on its website that it's a counter-culture restaurant. And its logo basically features two palm trees that magically transform into two huge pot leaves.
Double Decker Taco from "Fourth Meal"
Company: Taco Bell
The Double Decker Taco is like a new form of art. Consisting of your classic hard-shell taco, this marvelous munchie is tucked into another layer of warm tortilla spread with hearty beans. The Dub Decker makes for the perfect munchie food because the soft tortilla keeps us from making a huge, crumbly mess.
Sliders
Company: White Castle
What else do you think Harold and Kumar went to White Castle for? Their sliders are miniature hamburgers, which is perfect because you can feast on an entire meal but feel like you're merely snacking on some munchies.
Honorable mentions also go to every single other item on White Castle's menu.
Fried Cheese Melt
Company: Denny's
What could possibly be better than a grilled cheese sandwich? One stuffed with mozarella sticks! Only a stoner could have come up with this intricately delicious design. And while it may seem like a combination only a smoker could appreciate, trust us when we say this tastes just as good sober!
Carl's Jr.'s Breakfast Selection
Company: Carl's Jr.
Their slogan was, "wake and bake." Enough said.
Cheesy Tots
Company: Sonic
How blazed do you think the creative director behind this commercial for Sonic was when he conceived this idea? The brief commercial, which hit television in 2011 features a hungry, presumably definitely stoned dude pulling into a drive-in in search of something to satisfy his munchies. Upon learning that Sonic can make his food any way he wants it, he starts dreaming of massive cheesy tots floating through outer space—trippy shit we would see only if we were sky high. Not that we blame him. The cheesy tots are to die for.
Fiber One Bars
Company: General Mills
General Mills called forth the talents of Grammy-winning Cheech & Chong to film a commercial advertising the company's Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownies. You'd have to be oblivious to miss all the weed references. Throughout the 2-and-a-half-minute long flick, the two counterculture comedians continually allude to "magic brownies" and a bunch of random stuff ensues (of course). While these Fiber One brownies are just regular brownies, they sure taste a lot like magic after smoking a j.
Doritos Taco
Company: Taco Bell
How many times have you gotten stoned and then wanted to eat everything all at once? Fret not. Taco Bell's got your back with its Doritos Taco, which is exactly what it sounds like. You can eat a snack and an entree at the same damn time. Genius.
Tacos
Company: Jack in the Box
Tacos are good when we're sober. But tacos when we're stoned? Heavenly. The taco's hard shell together with the juicy shreds of lettuce, cheese, and savory taco meat just melt in our mouths. The guys at the Jack in the Box headquarters knew exactly who they were trying to satisfy when they launched this deal—two tacos for 99 cents? Allow us to remind you of Jack in the Box's famous pothead. This dude reminds us of ourselves after a wicked good smoke sesh.
Frozen Burritos
Company: Loud Mouth Burritos
With stuff like Taco Bell's Double Decker Taco and Burger King's famous Bacon Sundae, we didn't think it could get any better. Then along came MTV's Rob Dyrdek. Together with his cousin, Chris "Drama" Pfaff, the two innovated and introduced their own brand of Loud Mouth Burritos. These tortilla bad boys come in two forms: There's the cheeseburger burrito, which contains burger meat, cheese, and all our favorite condiments. Then there's the pizza version, which is a chock full of mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and pepperoni. How do we know for sure these are marketed towards stoners? They're each exactly 420 calories. It says so on the back. Subtle, Dyrdek. Subtle.
