The hippie sandwich was invented at 3:00 AM, on 4/1/1967 by Moonglow and Raincloud, two groovy but notoriously cranky hippies who inadvertently opened the first "crash pad" in the Haight, after a rap session that got heavy over the issue of whether avocado is a vegetable ("Raincloud's Law") or fruit ("lighten up, man"). Earlier attempts at a tomato-and-grass sandwich proved to be too "cud-like." Raincloud accidentally spilled seeds in the aquarium in the mistaken belief it was fish food. After discovering the resulting (thoroughly-washed) sprouts, Moonglow substituted them for the grass, to unanimous approval from the pulsating jellyfish in the refrigerator and the melting wallpaper.
Sandwich historians disagree whether the addition of avocado was the final step in the creation of the hippie sandwich, the zenith of contemporary sandwich technology, but many dispute Moonglow's last-minute addition of that crusty white thing. In subsequent interviews, she claimed; "it couldn't be an egg fried in that pan nobody ever washed, because I had a hang up about chickens ever since an eight-foot-tall one chased me around the Fillmore. I don't remember what it was. Maybe a piece of paper I peeled off my sandal? It doesn't surprise me, because I was finding out why he called himself "Raincloud" Other contemporary accounts claim the "hippie sandwich" was a term reserved for laminated musical instruments modeled on wedding cakes:
