Band name is embarrassing though. Should have gone with "we sold weed in college" imo

And here I thought Nickelback was a sports reference. Never heard it about weed.

it's a radio-edited version of "nickel bag", a small bag of weed (1/2 gram typically)

quoth Wikipedia: 'The band later changed its name to Nickelback, which originated from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back."'
