The Most Popular Marijuana Flavors

Seems everything from gum to vodka to Cheetos has some new flavor profile.  What are the most popular ones in the weed world?

Cheetos, chips, hot sauces and more all now have multiple flavors.  Bailey’s new chocolate is a raging success…but they have also have strawberry, colada, vanilla cinnamon and more.   In the 1800s, the Germans and Swiss were the first to expand the flavor market significantly, generally through the derivation of flavoring substances occurring naturally in foods. In the United States, many flavor companies began as importers of European essential oils and extracts.  According to Datassential, 81% of consumers love or like vanilla and 94% have tried it. But consumers are curious so a variety of new flavors pop up – remember the start of the chipotle frenzy?
