Snickers Bars Marketed To Stoners

Oh you won't find out the secret ad campaign The Mars Company is conducting in any official white page, like this one, but look at the facts - they're definitely cozying up to the potheads of America hoping to be their sweet-tooth munchie of choice. As if they aren't already...

Now I personally don't partake of the herb very often, maybe once or twice a year; like when I visited Ric's veritable tweakin' twinks opium den just before the holidays, but I know the feeling of getting the munchies. Everything you eat just tastes so good!

Stoners I know like Jay and Gary (back in the day) and now Joe and Zach (well, Joe when he's not in jail and Zach when he's not in the mental hospital...oy vey!) really get into the whole Munchie Ritual.

It's part non-verbal communication and part sensory exploration as each doped-up stoner gorges on their food items (or items) of choice.

Some go for the salty and crunchy stuff like Funyuns or Cheetos but others like the soft and sweet, like Ho Hos, Sno-Balls and Three Musketeers.

I'm pretty sure Snickers are a big time crossover favorite because it satisfies both the salty crunch (peanuts) and soft sweet (nougat and chocolate). Plus you got the caramel which satisfies chewy-sweet lovers (Twizzlers freaks) and oozy-fat lovers (McDonald's french fries quaffers).

Here though is why I think Snickers is going all-out and totally courting the Rasta set:

Their newest variety, Snickers 3X Chocolate, sounds so overboard and extreme...just the thing a doper wants to hear...Extreme Man, Extreme!

The bar comes in two pieces. Perfect for sharing, just like you shared that doobie.

The total calorie count of the bar is exactly 420 calories. 420. Really.

The wrapper can, as indicated, twist to close the remaining piece if you chose just one and want to save the other for later. It really does stay closed with a twist, like some sort of witchcraft or something, man...'cause it's otherwise just a normal wrapper. Far out!

They had a big box of them for sale right on the counter near the register at 7-11 over here on Highway 17-92. And what's right across the street from this store? A "smoke shop" called Pipe Dreams.

I mean c'mon...isn't this proof enough?

EDIT: Damn, I should have waited 5 more minutes to publish this post...
