The 7 Best Foods to Eat When You're Stoned

June 4th, 2009 | 11:11 am
For the past week or so, we've had this "Stoner Sidekick Quiz" ad over on the right side of our page, where you can win a TV or a PS3.  The good people at Land of the Lost also asked us to write something about smoking weed, which got us thinking...and smoking weed...and eating a lot of food.
 
Eating food when you're stoned is like having a thousand orgasms in your mouth all at once (maybe I worded that incorrectly), and during our extensive research sessions in preparation for this article, we discovered a collection of foods that we feel stimulate the stoned palate more than any other delicacy on earth.  These, in our opinion, are the 7 Best Foods to Eat When You're Stoned:
 
1.  Pop Tarts
 
 
For most of us, Pop Tarts are the foundation of our understanding of what a pastry is. You can pop them in the toaster for a simultaneously crispy and gooey treat, or you can eat them raw, right out of the thin aluminum wrapper, just like the astronauts eat!  The extensive variety of Pop Tart flavors can appeal to nearly any taste, whether it be the traditional Cherry, S'mores-flavored, or even the brown sugar ones with the diahrrea-colored frosting.  They also come in two-packs, and there's nothing better when you're high than suddenly remembering you actually have twice as much food as you thought you did.
 
The Super-Special Recipe: For a real flavor kick, try toasting a couple of Pop Tarts, and then spreading butter on them while they're piping hot.  The butter will melt into the frosting and create an unfathomable concoction of goodness.
 
 
2.  Sonic's Chili-Cheese Tater Tots
 
 
Anyone who's fortunate enough to live near a Sonic Drive-In can verify that Sonic's regular menu is basically a Stoner Paradise, but their Chili-Cheese Tater Tots are easily the top contender.  They're reasonably priced, so that you can get about 5 orders of these puppies before you're even approaching the price of a normal fast food meal, and the dish contains three stoner staples: chili, cheese, and tater tots, a flavor combination that kicks you in the face like the love-child of a rabid kangaroo and the physical manifestation of awesomeness. 

The Super-Special Recipe: Throw a handful of Fritos (or Chili-Cheese Fritos, if you're feeling extra bold) into the mix for an added crunchiness and a little bit of a salty flavor that might make you pass out from sheer mouth ecstasy.
 
 
3.  Late Night Jalapeno Popper Doritos
 
 
The most amazing thing about this flavor of Doritos is that they actually taste exactly like jalapeno poppers late at night.  I don't know how it's possible, but the people at Doritos (who have to be high all the time) have really outdone themselves this time.  There's another flavor in the Doritos "Late Night" collection, called Taco Stand or something like that.  That one is pretty good, too, but the jalapeno poppers are so tasty they'll make your balls tingle a little bit, and the best part is that they're incredibly easy to find when you're stumbling through the grocery store, blazed out of your mind and looking for something to munch on; they'll be the only product on the chip aisle that's in a black bag with neon light lettering on it.  Well-played, Doritos, well-played.
 
The Super Special Recipe: Two words: QUESO DIP. 
 
 
4.  Bagel Bites
 
 
Bagel Bites are easily in the top five greatest inventions of the century.  It goes:  bikinis, television, video games, rubbermaid furniture, and Bagel Bites.  They're adorably bite-sized, packed full of flavor and texture, and you can get a box of thirty of these little buggers at your local grocery store for under $10.  That means that you and three of your closest friends can enjoy a feast of nearly 100 Bagel Bites for around $8 each.  Throw in some XBox and some late-night internet porn (after your friends leave, of course) and you've got the recipe for a great night.
 
The Super-Special Recipe: Remember that half of a jar of pasta sauce that's just sitting in your fridge? Well, it will compliment Bagel Bites perfectly.
 
 
5.  Gatorade
 
 
Y'know those soap commercials on TV, where it shows the guy sniffing the soap and then he suddenly gets hit in the face with spring water, or snow, or whatever else can be used as an analogy for freshness, and then it comes back to the guy in the store, and he makes a face like, "Woah, that's fresh!" and then he puts the soap in his cart?  Well, imagine if that commercial was in 3-D, because that's what it's like to drink Gatorade when you're high.  It doesn't matter what flavor you choose, your Gatorade is going to taste awesome.  Maybe it's the electrolytes.  Maybe it's the subtle fruity goodness. Maybe it's the cool shaped bottle...or maybe it's all part of Gatorade's devious little plan to-- no, on second thought, it's probably the electrolytes.
 
The Super-Special Recipe: Gatorade pops, anyone?  Try pouring some gatorade into a cup and leaving it in the freezer for a couple of hours to make delicious gatorade popsicles.  You can try putting a stick in them when their partially frozen, but you'd better try that before you start smoking, because it'll be way too complicated when you're high.  Otherwise, just let it freeze and eat it with a spoon.
 
 
6.  Jack In The Box's Taco Nachos
 
 
Somewhere deep within the bowels of Jack in the Box's headquarters, there's a super-blazed kid sitting in a room somewhere, and a bunch of scientists keep bringing strange concoctions of food into him and saying "How does this taste? Is it good? Would you buy it?".  Of course, the kid is super-blazed, so he says yes to everything, and that's why you can go to Jack in the Box and get a hamburger, or tacos, or egg rolls, or a teriyaki bowl, or a breakfast chicken sandwich at any hour of the day.  The undisputed champion of Jack in the Box's incredibly stoner-friendly menu is, without a doubt, their new Taco Nachos.  Basically, they've taken a bunch of their tacos (already a tried-and-true stoner favorite), dumped a bucket-full of nacho cheese on them, and garnished it with jalapenos and BACON.  This one is going to hurt on the way out, but going in, it'll be pure bliss.
 
The Super-Special Recipe: Just add Hot Sauce.
 
 
7.  Hawaiian Shave Ice
 
 
I used to work at a Shave Ice stand in Arizona.  About 75% of the customers on any given day were clearly stoned out of their minds, and now I know exactly why: shave ice is great when you're sober, but when you're high, it is f*&kin' incredible.  Shave ice is different than a sno-cone, because the ice is shaved off of a large cube with a razor blade, not chipped away with an ice pick, like a sno-cone.  That means that it has a much softer texture, and it absorbs juice a lot better than a sno-cones do, and stays frozen longer as well.  Also, most shave ice places have a wide assortment of flavors, aside from just your standard sno-cone flavors.  Obviously, shave ice is not as readily available as some of the other items on this list, and it may be hard (or impossible) to find, depending on where you live and what time of year it is, but that makes the experience that much more magical: when you find a shave ice stand and you're incredibly high, it's like the stars have aligned. Cherish that moment.
 
The Super-Special Recipe: Most shave ice places will give you two flavors for free, so experiment and have a blast. It's virtually impossible to f*ck it up with the wrong flavors, because it's going to be delicious no matter what.  My personal favorite has to be cherry and green apple.  It sounds a little basic, but the sweet and sour combination in those two flavors is unbelievable.  Some shave ice places will also offer cream on top of it, which will blow your f*&kin' mind!

    So go eat healthy then asshole. Meanwhile we will enjoy the unhealthy stoner foods.

    "Dank" is one of these new "bad-is-good" terms that I cringe when I hear. Lots of the new generation stoners use the term to mean "potent marijuana." What it really means is "disagreeably damp." Its a derogatory term. Whats next, "moldy" means good weed? Shelf that term for the love of David Caradine.

    And you, sir, are a dirty, foul smelling vegetarian. You don't count as a stoner ... even if you smoke weed. Any other distinction you think applies to you vanishes in the shadow of the only thing you really are; Which is a vegetarian.

    Fast food. That you hate it numbers among its qualities.

    Meh... I can do much better.

    Kraft Mac n' Cheese (the shapes of course, they are so much better)

    A bag a cheddar broccoli rice (think the brand name is Knorr?)

    While those are cooking, throw some oil, italian herbs, and crushed red pepper in a skillet and add polish sausage.

    Combine all 3, adding parmesan cheese if desired.

    Bonus: this is even awesome not stoned. But still, a lot better if you are.

    One word: POUTINE.

    Fries, mozzarella cheese, gravy.

    That is all.

  27. Codyp Says:

    Thats not Poutine. Thats just just an imitation. Got to get a specific cheese thats really only available in canada. With a few exceptions here and there in the US. I have had the real thing a ton of times. It makes a difference.

    This isn't the first time I've seen something about Sonic and said to myself "Damn, Sonic! When are you going to expand into Massachusetts! We have more college students per capita than anywhere else and you are the answer to our late night muchie prayers!!!"

  32. Ookla the Mok Says:

    The aforementioned chili tots may be good/ok but thats about it. My problem with Sonic is that everything is kinda sweet. The onion rings taste like onion doughnuts, the mayo is sweet, the mustard is sweet, and most any sauce ya get is sweet. I realize theres no accounting for taste but overall Sonic ranks below average and ranks about average among all night joints.

    It is the tater tots, the hours, and the drinks that elevate Sonic above other base-line fast food names. Barely. 6/10 stars

    This list sucks. I would not eat any of these items when I am sober. It's people like you that give stoners a bad name. It is not all about smoking and eating. Be productive. Do something useful when you smoke.

    As for foods that I would eat while stoned, I particularly like anything that I can cook myself: chicken parm, burritos, anything homemade!

    Ground beef form around cubes into a small meatball

    crush up some doritos (flavor of choice...the jalepeno popper ones would be good)

    Egg in a bowl (mixed)

    no wonder americans are so fat

    as I said, it shits all over England for food

    Yes to the cereal. Doesn't matter what kind- if there's sugar in it, it's fucking awesome. Ice cream on damn near anything in the 'bread' family. Any thing followed by the word -dough (i.e. cookie dough, brownie dough, cake dou...err, batter, even bread dough if you roll it around in sugar first). Combos, but they have to be the nacho cheese kind. Ditto for Bugles. All you have is a Hershey Bar? Put it in the microwave. Good that way- but better if you stir the melted goodness up with some peanut butter. Honey Mustard on anything and everything (dope with Doritos). God, now I'm hungry and I'm stone cold sober.
