Marijuana: Proud supporters of the Snack Food Industry.  Postcard.  The following is NOT mentioned on this postcard.

Perhaps the snack food industry is capitalizing on this support, as we can see from the launching of the new Munchies Brand of snack foods, by industry giant Frito-Lay.  See scan of their product package above.  Who is Frito-Lay?

Frito-Lay, Inc.  is an American subsidiary of PepsiCo that manufactures, markets, and sells corn chips, potato chips, and other snack foods.  Through Frito-Lay, PepsiCo is the largest globally distributed snack food company, with sales of its products in 2009 comprising 40 percent of all "savory snacks" sold in the United States, and 30 percent of the non-U.S. market.  The primary snack food brands produced under the Frito-Lay name include Fritos corn chips, Cheetos cheese-flavored snacks, Doritos and Tostitos tortilla chips, Lay's and Ruffles potato chips, Rold Gold pretzels, and Walkers potato crisps (in the UK and Ireland). Each brand generated annual worldwide sales over $1 billion in 2009.

What does Muchies mean?  A strong hunger.  In particular, see Effects of cannabis on appetite.    Munchies (confectionery), sold by Nestle. Munchies (snack mix), sold by Frito-Lay.  It even appears there is competition for the use of the term Munchies.  Cannabis meets capitalism.
