Weetos are offered in Crunchy Cheese, Flaming Hot and Extra Flaming Hot Varieties, each of which is infused with 100-150mg of premium THC. As the brand describes, these products were developed for the purpose of "making the sometimes bland edible experience flavorful and fun." With the rise in CBD- and THC-infused edible snacks, brands are launching snack food products that reinvent familiar comfort foods with a subversive, grown-up twist. This wave of new, nostalgic edibles appeals to a consumer's desire for an experience that is at once comforting, but also novel at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Thc-infused Snack Foods:** The trend of infusing snacks with CBD and THC is on the rise, presenting an opportunity for brands to develop new, exciting products for a growing market. - **Nostalgic Edibles:** Brand can capitalize on the trend of nostalgic edibles by recreating classic snack foods with a subversive, grown-up twist. - **Flavorful and Fun Edibles:** The rise of infused edible snacks presents an opportunity for brands to make the sometimes bland edible experience flavorful and fun. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cannabis:** The cannabis industry can develop and market new THC-infused edibles to cater to a growing consumer demand for infused snacks. - **Snack Food:** The snack food industry can innovate by infusing classic comfort snacks with CBD and THC to create new, exciting products for consumers. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of nostalgic edibles by recreating classic snack foods with a subversive, grown-up twist. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [THC-Infused Snack Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snazzle-os.md) - [Savory THC-Infused Potato Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-elixirs.md) - [Crunchy Cannabis Edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-cannabis-edibles.md) - [Puffy Plant-Based Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peatos-puffs.md) - [Savory Cannabis-Infused Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-crackers.md) - [Cheesy Pea-Based Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-and-funyuns.md) - [Puffed Cheese Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-puffd.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Seafood Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-shrimp-chips.md) - [Wholesome Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezmos.md)
