What Snusmumriken has to do with snus?

[Badfish74]

Is he some kind of cartoon character overseas? I was just wondering, I've never heard of it before.

You got my curiosity up, so I googled it and found an article on wikipedia. No reference to snus, but he sounds like a cool little dude! 8)

Snusmumriken is a character in the popular childrens
literary world of "Mumi". (or moomin in Finish, witch is the country of origin)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin

he is the main characters best friend who stops by the valley were
he lives every summer. The rest of the year he spends traveling.
A mellow and calm character he represents reason and reflection.
Often he gives good advice to Moomin whenever he is in trouble.

I have more of an relationship with the TV-show, not the books.
So the books might portray him more as a playful character.

Moomin is hugely popular in all of the Scandinavian countries.

Moomin is hugely popular in all of the Scandinavian countries.

In Poland Moomins are popular too, but Snusmumriken is called in polish: Wloczykij (eng: Gadabout).

That why I was surprised when I found out that character original name is Snusmumriken.

That show really rocked when I was a little kid, but damn I was scared of that spook/bogeyman/bugbear, what ever you call it in english. :P

Since we are dealing with an international audience. The meaning of "mouth organ" may get lost in translation. Mouth organ = harmonica

He looks like the old fashioned type that would use Ettan Los.
