Open Post: Hosted By Mike Tyson’s Ear-Shaped Weed Gummies
For a Tier II registered sex offender, Mike Tyson’s done pretty well for himself. Complex reports that his cannabis company, Tyson 2.0, is now selling Mike Bites. Armie Hammer might want to take note because Mike Bites are ear-shaped weed gummies. That’s right, Mike’s making attempted cannibalism fashionable again!
Unlike the more disturbing incidents in his past, America will never forget the time Mike bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a 1997 heavyweight fight, ironically dubbed The Sound and the Fury. More like The What’s That Now My Ear is Falling Off and the CTE, amirite? But fret not, Mike got Evander’s express consent to make a meal out of his maiming. Complex reports:
Nearly 25 years after Mike Tyson famously bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a 1997 heavyweight match, the boxing legend’s cannabis company is launching ear-shaped weed gummies called “Mike Bites.”
As reported by The Mirror, Tyson pitched the idea of the gummies to Holyfield back in 2019 on an episode of his Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson podcast.
“People keep asking, ‘How are you gonna forgive something like that?’” Holyfield explained. “I say, everything that ever happened, at some point in time, I did it. Mike bit me, I say I bit somebody too – it just wasn’t on TV. I bit a guy in his shoulder, he dropped me, and I didn’t know when you had a concussion, you’ll bite too.”
“You might be in business because we’re going to make some holy ears. Some edibles [of the ear] that got a bite taken out of ’em,” Tyson said.
Ok, see now I wasn’t sure if the bite was just there for the marketing materials or if Mike personally went through and took a bite out of each and every ear produced. But apparently, he has!
These ears actually taste good!

He may not be $40,000 a month in weed high, but he’s probably going to be stoned out of his gourd for at least a year. And maybe that’s for the best, all things considered.
