Light it Up: Smoke Shop Illusions

“Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons!”

We've all found ourselves standing around in a living room a time or two in our lives, giving the proverbial midnight munchies rant to a group of friends. Hey, I ain’t judging! Bob Marley was one of the greatest people to walk the face of the planet, and whatever he says goes. That being said, would you please pass the dutchie on the left hand side?
