Poll: Would you buy "Expired" snus?

[Premium Parrots]

OK heres the deal Fred was on vacation and was trolling the beaches for young men when he ran accross an old viking shipwreck. He was snooping around and found a stash of ancient snus. Its expired by about 200 years but Fred, ever the opportunist and knowing that we will buy anything, brought it back to the warehouse to pawn it off on the members here. The big surprise to me is that hes going to discount it instead of charging more being a vintage snus. He must not be feeling well. There ya go, thats it in a nutshell.

Yes and with my luck it will be Olde Viking snus that they found on the Old Viking shipwreck.

If Fred is trolling for some man meat, why didn't he just ask for your sources PP ?

Yeah, and he'll even throw in a piece of crushed pottery from that ship too...if you're lucky. You can pretend it's Kardus.

Seriously though. I doubt this old snus would be stored in a freezer. Also, if it were to be properly stored in the freezer (IMO) it would have to go in there before the date. I think we can strike the vacuum packed idea as that's not practical from a seller than isn't selling his snus. I would like to think it stayed in the fridge, but from a business perspective it wouldn't surprise me if this seller kept his fresh snus in the cooler and put the old, out of date stuff on a shelf while deciding what to do with it. That being said, a full cooler is cheaper to run than a half-full cooler so who knows. We'd have to trust that what we are being told is righteous.

Also, I hope that this is not the first "sale" or "deal" with the new SnusOn smokeless shop (I don't even think it exists yet though...I'm not a VIP ('cos I don't like Jaks) so I'm not privy). I think that would send a crappy message from the get-go about the SO Smokeless Shop and from a marketing standpoint they'd probably be better served selling that stuff off on the side. We want people to be proud of SO...not to think we're sloppy seconds. Put the stuff up on auction here...it'll go like hotcakes. Maybe if it's included in a VIP offering I'd give it a whirl but like I said, I'd want a test can or three to check it out before I invest in a cache...regardless of the price. Cheap snus that tastes like shit is just that...shit.

Hey now there is a great idea. Kardus I can actually afford to stock up on!

Man, I remember the days when getsnus would offer expired snus, typically general and roda los at 99c/tin. I would buy 50 tins for $50, get free shipping, and a bonus can.

[WickedKitchen]

I remember when Camel Lights were 99 cents a pack. I smoked tons of them then.

I remember $2.00 a carton, 25 cents a pack (Luckies, Camels, Chesterfields etc).
That was back when gas was 15 cents a gallon (10 cents during the price wars).

Hell, I remember saying "Once smokes reach 50 cents a pack, I'm quitting!!"

Guess what! They did, I didn't.

[WickedKitchen]

Ha. I said that when they finally breached $2.00/pack. I ended up paying $7.00 at one point. Ha! That friggin' monkey had a good grip on my back.

Snus is getting that way with this PACT malarky I think. We'll see...I've only placed one order and it's not in hand yet so I don't have proof of worry yet.

Yep the good ol' days! I even remember them tasting better than non-expired. Something about saving all that cash must have been affecting my taste buds

[GoVegan]

I used to love the bonus cans getsnus would give you. Every now and then I would get something like General Wintergreen which I would toss other than that it was a nice way to try out different snus and it was free.

[Premium Parrots]

useing expired snus is similar to useing an expired hooker. Its still useable but not quite as fun.

Excellent Premium

But still if refrigerated correctly it can be good for a lot longer.

Again, applies to both PP's scenarios, nice one.
