10 Must-Have Snacks For When You’re Streaming (And Stoned As Hell)

Happy 4/20, everyone! Hey mayyyyan, isn’t it super cool that we have a whole day where it’s socially acceptable to make as many, huh-huh, pot jokes as we can?!

Oh boy, and just think of all the munchies we’ll consume later this evening when we get home from work (if you aren’t already playing hooky). If there’s one thing we love more than getting stoned and streaming stuff, it’s food. Thus, in an effort to further our mission from helping you decide what to stream every night, we’re going to help you decide exactly what to eat while you stream tonight. Nope, no need to thank us.

MUST-HAVE MUNCHIE: Burgers
WHY?: Fast food always satisfies stoned cravings, but if we've learned anything from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Goodburger, Bob's Burgers,, and our favorite fry cook, SpongeBob Squarepants, it's that burgers — slathered in pickles, mustard, and ketchup — are like little slices of heaven in your mouth after you toke up.
