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.

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.

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.

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.
