I seem to be getting a lot of feedback asking what the hell I was thinking when I came up for the idea of chocolate DickHats. Well you asked and I must answer.

I’m sure by now most of you have seen the Saturday Night Live music video spoof from Christmas 2006 – Dick In A Box. If not, watch video below before reading more.

In January 2007, I thought it would be funny to offer the pre-cut boxes on the Internet. Unfortunately, someone beat me to it in the Facebook giftshop…bastard! So around April 2007, I was listening to a syndicated morning radio show out of Charlotte, NC called the Ace & TJ Show. During one of their segments they were discussing a poll that came out from the UK. It stated that many women were going against the Laws of Nature. Over 50% said that they preferred eating a nice piece of chocolate to having sex.

Disgusted by this injustice I vowed to save mankind. That same day, I was on my lunch break and the idea knocked me on my ass. Women love chocolate, guys love getting head! If you ask them to be honest, most guys have a personalized name for their One-eyed Willy. So why don’t we go one step further and give it some personality! Hats convey personality; why not make a hat out of chocolate.

Hence DickHats were born!

It took several more months to work out the details like finding the best chocolate, making the prototypes, producing the packaging that would protect it during delivery, and then finally producing the product. Plans originally were to have them finished in the summer 2007, but it took six more months to work out the kinks.

How did we decide on the current style of hats?

The first one that popped into my head was the Easy Rider (cowboy hat). So I had to see that one to fruition. The Chocolate Headed Warrior (Viking Hat) was from the long list, but I felt that chocolate horns coming off the head of penis would be pretty amusing. As for the One-eyed Spartan, it was actually an afterthought. My original prototype was a stars and stripes top hat called the Dick Chainey. As luck would have it, the game of all games came out in September 2007 and it just seemed like a no-brainer to make the switch.

So there you have it…
