      I knew you weren't quite right when I saw your photo in the ugly mug thread, my friend. I see you look very happy. Where's your head protection?
      Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





      I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

        Don't need no helmet with a trike. At least I hope you don't, though I always ware one on my upright.

        I did find your photo on the ugly mug thread. You look just so cute I could.... Well, you've got a face most mothers could love.

          Someone asked this on another board and their answer was:
          Swedish Match mini cans contains 20 pouches because we know that mini consumers are using less snus than consumers that are using standard portions, we know this through several surveys.

            But what does that have to do with the price?

              Capri cigarettes(ultra slims) cost as much as standard cigarettes. They charge that much because people will pay it.

                And besides, you can get some flavors only in mini's. Doesn't really have anything to do with price, but should be said. I'm gonna try the Catch Violet later!

                  I would like to see minis come in cans of 40 portions or pay 1/2 the cost for the 20 portion cans.
                  Hi,

                  The production cost of minis and standard size portions are roughly the same. There is fever portions in each can because of consumer insight studies that told us that the mini consumer were using less portions.

                    Soooo... ooookay.... let me see if I have this straight. If you use less of a product, you have to pay the same as someone who uses more, because... let me make a few guesses

                    It wouldn't be fair to those who use more and they might feel bad

                    Those who use less might feel guilty and would like to relieve themselves of the guilt by donating money to the manufactures

                    I may be able to come up with a few more but this should do for the moment. Do I have this right?

                      I'm with you right up to here. You could say a snus is a snus, and you're paying for each portion regardless of size, but fewer portions per can? Do mini users chuck the tin when they get to 15 used and buy a new tin? :^D

                          Agreed! Give me my 24 portions. Those extra 4 aren't going to go bad. There's still plenty of room in the can.

                            they probably just know that mini users are women and suckers.

                              What the hell are you all talking about? Every mini-can cotains 20 mini portion - thats mean 5 less then original portion. Minis are 0.5g, coz smaller content of tobacco is less visible in mouth. Thats all, no metter if its 0.5g or 1g, they can make 0.5 minis with 17mg of nicotine (Thudner for example) - nicotine buzz is always the same, but SM making minis with low nicotine level for beginers or peoples, which likes low nicotine. Thats all.
