Have you ever met someone that did snus in real life?

[Owens187]

Yes, I have.

But that can be explained with my location : D

And where would that be?

I think everyone should make sure they have their location showing under their name. Its interesting to see where everyone is from.



I still have not to this day EVER seen anyone use snus. Not even the (fake)Camel SNUS. aside from this forum, I usually feel like Im the only one in the country that uses this (wonderful) stuff....

EDIT: Crews: just noticed that you have your location in your signature instead. 8)

Never in real life. I have shown plenty of peeps but everyone seems to give me the stank eye when I pull it out. Not only am I a woman, but to them I am a woman who 'dips' so I am gross.

Down here in Texas it is a true sign of redneckism if you are a lady who 'dips'. Most of the time I just take the stank eye as a compliment. I like being a redneck

[Sweet-N-Salty]

yep, classmate from Minnesota (go figure)..

[N0mad]

I have converted two people I know...

It's quite commonplace here.

Hmm, let me think.
Here in E-ville I don't think I met anyone who wasn't a Norseman or had lived there.
When I was in a local tobacco store I did convince some guy to buy the Du Maurier snus, but that doesn't really count.

you'd be surprized how many chics dip
i know quite a few, some down right dirty hicks, others not at all.
it's the transition from smoking

two of those three are female and both hide it from the world like they have a STD.

I understand how those women feel. Most of the cans look
like dip cans. When I'm out and about I put my portions in Skruf cans or Catch cans and I WILL put them on the table when I go out to eat.
That's what needs to change for snus to have a better image THE CANS.
Skruf-this can looks very Swedish and hip, the new Roda Lacket (classy looking), Catch and Mocca-nothing scary could come outta there.

We all really need to bring the can designs up to SM and V2. That's the only way they are going to be successful in America. It can't look like a dip can!

I completely agree.

I am going to use your idea for my thunder frosted. I never thought to put them in my used Mocca tin. It is red and cute. Or my RyJ senorita can.

[ladysnus]

One more thing, sorry off topic sorta.
Can you imagine Skruf being sold at IKEA? Skruf and IKEA=HUGE SUCCESS :P

[ladysnus]

Christi- The Mocca cans are fantastic but they are made for a dry portion like General mini mint, Discreet etc. Portions with moisture will dry out in there.

You could probably strategically align them with some cellophane, wax paper, or such along with the bottom of the lid to create a better seal.

/just saying :wink:

What I decided was to only use them when I go out of the house. I don't leave for long periods of time so I only take what I need and place them in the Mocca tin. I also decided to put the Thunder in my RyJ tin and my non-flavored white portions in the Mocca tin. I leave them ready in the freezer until I am going out of the house(which isn't very often, mainly I just drive to the school and back)like Sunday's at church. I have 4-6 portions in each and will be able to just throw them in my purse. If the Thunder dries out a little it won't bother me, I will just use them the way they are or re-hydrate.

I don't think this counts, but my dad uses snus. I actually have the old man to thank for letting me know about the real swedish stuff.

On the topic of snus containers, my dad carries around this metal cylindrical screw top keychain thing that he jams full of offroad portions. Pretty slick, old man, pretty slick indeed.
