Brand most likely to make you spit?

[Coffey]

Although I don't normally spit, a few brands seem to necessitate spitting. For me they are any of the strong brands. N&J, and Onyx are especially bad. I don't know if they make me salivate more. Or, if I just notice it more because of the higher nic content. Anyone else have this experience?

[Craig de Tering]

Not me atleast.
I always find it bizarre that some people on snuson complain of needing to spit. I just can't imagine why.

By the way, I'm so sorry for your loss (of state governance) ;-)
Guess that's what people get when Dems take over.

LOL! Thanks for the sympathy. It's a hell of a thing. Yup, it was Jenny Granholm telling the Congress that she wouldn't accept a budget without tax increases in it. What the hell?! She wouldn't even consider a plan to balance the budget that had spending cuts involved. Oh, and it's not that I have to spit, I just have a greater desire.

So it's like a reflex, you feel an innate need to spit?
So it's not that saliva is making the snus muddy or runny too soon?

FYI, with me, a pris of loose only starts to get wet/muddy after about 25~35 min. It's then that I start playing with it with my tongue. But all this doesn't always happen. Sometimes I'm so busy with whatever I'm doing I completely forget about the snus. If this happens I usually spit it out after 2 hours. Once even after 5 hours, which left me with pretty painfully stretched upper lip. :lol:

That's something I should have added. It's only with portions that this happens. Never with loose. And, yes it is more of a forced reaction, or an extreme desire to spit.
Oh, and the ol' government of Michigan passed an extension budget at like 3:00 this morning.

One thing I noticed about the brands that make you want to spit is that both have a noticeable sweetness to them; the rich blend of sweet licorice in Onyx and that caramel tint in N&J.

Perhaps the dominance of sweetness and relative absence of salt in comparison with other brands is causing your taste buds to produce more saliva?

If they're in portion bags and you touch the tip of your tongue to them, you'll notice the middle section underneath your tongue start to drip.

Sometimes I spit with N&J because I seem to salivate excessively and it will give me a stomach ache if I use it all day. Also I might spit if I am zoned out listening to music at home with a portion in and suddenly I realise I have a ton of saliva in my mouth.

I never spit. If I feel like the snus is running too much I'll reposition the pouch(I use portions only) so it's farther up front, and tighter against my lip and gums. That slows it down considerably. I really like the strange sort of burn in my stomach though from the snus. It's kind of hard to describe, but I find it enjoyable. That's one thing I really like about the portions. I can set them in my mouth so they gush for a short time, then move them to slow it down. That way I get the nice tummy burn without going too far and getting sick

Do you have ANY IDEA how strange this sounds?? :lol:

Maybe... It sounds a little strange in English, it might be stranger in another language though :?: It's kind of like eating hot peppers. If you described the experience to someone, they'd wonder why the hell you'd eat something like that. Words can't do the experience justice.

[Craig de Tering]

No no no! This time I didn't allude to language with my remark.
:wink:

I meant that it sounded like a mild version of your life-long best buddy suddenly telling you he's coming out of the closet and you've been his wet dream for ages. :shock:

Argh nevermind, I just can't explain it over the internet. Just forget I said anything.

Possibly the best post ever on the internet.

Just to be perfectly clear, lxskllr, I did NOT mean any disrespect.

Absolutely no offense taken :wink: I used the word tummy for just a touch of silliness. I'll through words like that into my every day speech, mostly for my own amusement. I didn't know if there was maybe another word, or slang meaning from your side of the ocean that went beyond the juvenile American meaning of tummy

[Craig de Tering]

I think so. Kinda like brits saying "bloody" in the USA and the americans finding that a "cute" word but to the brits a pretty harsh expletive.
