Moon Rocks, Key Lime Dreams & Cannabis Creativity"In this episode, the crew sits down with Kevin Trinh from MLLW (that’s M-L-L-W, no vowels until further notice) to taste-test some seriously innovative THC goodies and swap stories about flavor, passion, and building a brand that actually cares about taste. The vibe is relaxed, funny, and just a little bit snacky—you’ll probably leave craving chocolate and spring rolls.Kevin opens up about MLLW’s award-winning Key Lime Pie chocolate (yes, it has a graham cracker crust baked right in), their new “moon rocks” (think pop rocks, but THC), and how his background in the restaurant world pushes him to put flavor first. From strawberry limeade seltzers to Palmertini tea blends, this conversation is part product sampling, part industry real talk, and part food tangent (Buffalo Wild Wings, cilantro haters, and spring roll classes all make an appearance).
