Growing up in a small town that consisted of bars, cornfields, and churches, I noticed that having the last name Weed always drew attention and most of the time a smile or wisecrack. When I headed off to college, I was always known as Weed. Realizing that my last name created a buzz with everyone I associated with, a far fetched vision came to me. I envisioned a snack that was great in taste and had a name that everyone would remember. I told my buds about Mr. Weed's Munchies and they instantly loved the idea.
In 2004, I finalized my original Mr. Weed's Munchies logo. I started with creating Mr. Weed's Munchies T-shirts with the tagline Got the Munchies, but I didn't want to stop there. I thought to myself, “What if I put Mr. Weed in different outfits?.” So I came up with cool new designs using the Mr. Weed's original logo along with catchy taglines like the hippie with the tagline Sex, Munchies, and Rock N' Roll. The T-shirts became a huge hit almongst all different walks of life that love to munch.
In 2008, I introduced three munchie items that you can find around the Chicago area. The first munchie that was produced was
Trail Blazin Munchie Mix. Of course growing up in no mans land, the first thing I think of when it comes to Trail Mix, is hiking. We took the original Mr. Weed's logo and transformed him into Scout Weed. This trail mix will make any trip, tasty. Second was
Smokin' BBQ Munchie Mix. The word BBQ makes me think of Wild Wild West scenes. Sheriff Weed was born and this munchie is Munchers Most Wanted. Third was the
Pipin Hot Munchie Mix. I haven't been to many places, but I have been to Mexico and it was hot. Senor Weed was designed and one word to describe this munchie, caliente!
In 2009, Mr. Weed’s Munchies opened its first kiosk inside Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, IL. There wasn’t another store that caught more attention and more comments than Mr. Weed’s Munchies. The Munchie Crew and I meet some great munchie maniacs and we appreciate all the support we received.
After the contract with the mall expired, the Munchie Crew and I decided to focus on fundraising and distributing our products solely online. So, if your searching for some great munchies and catchy apparel for yourself or a gift for a bud, enjoy shopping on
