Dankies: High Fructose Weed Twinkies

Posted on July 25, 2014
We spotted these spongy beings at a local pot shop in Irvine, California. At $10 for a pack of two weed Twinkies, the fittingly named “Dankies” looked promising. However, if you’re having visions of freshly-baked cannabis cream-filled cakes — the budtender at said location claimed that the snacks are actual Twinkies whose original vanilla cream has been hollowed out and swapped with 1000 mg of THC-infused cream.

So, yes, they’re just gas station Twinkies that have been injected with sweet cream that will get you high and repackaged under a new stoner-friendly name. Still, we were curious and brought some home to enjoy as a pre-dinner treat.

After undressing the tiny cakes — kudos to the Dankies design team for the slick wrapper — we each tried a single weed Twinkie each. The taste was phenomenal — the Twinkie’s signature high fructose crack flavor complimented the light, earthy flavor of the weed cream. We kicked back and waited for the high to kick in.

An hour passed. 8 pm. Another hour. 9 pm. After 2 hours of feeling zilch, we started to get an inkling that these were a dud. By 9:30 we grabbed a greasy meal of fry-stuffed gyros with a notable lack of munchies. By 10:30 we still felt nothing and decided to call it day by smoking a bowl.

Lesson learned: Not all edibles end in glory. Sometimes, life is just a fancy Twinkie filled with false promises.

Maybe try eating about 6 of them?
