NEW General Snus for America

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Dude, how did someone who clearly knows nothing about snuhs get new product before it hits the shelves?
I mean he seemed to not even realize it was from Sweden till he read the tin!

If this is who SM is going after... Some 13 year old with a camera, I guess they can count me out.

this is his review "I been useing it for 2 days now and so far I like it" .............FFS

He sounded stoned out of his brains.

I've got to agree with you Tim - this is a load of sh**. The tins look awful and the targetting for reviews is so poor.

I don't know what's up with SM these days but after I tried Click I just thought their snus was a waste of time.

Yeah F$ck SM. I use a lot of their stuff, but I'm gonna try to switch stat!

Sorry - that was a bit harsh. General isn't at all bad but.............. you know, it just comes across as lame.

Harsh is having to watch that video. LoL
Harsh is having a company pander to the wrong people, the result of which is this kid.
I really kind of feel slapped by SM. Well to be fair SM America evidently.
LOL
to far?

[Frosted]

To be honest, I don't care about SM. I used them in rotation with Odens when I first gave up cigs for about a year and ever since then I haven't bought a single SM product - so I haven't given them business for nearly two years. The only time I've tried them have been through buysnus freebies.

[timholian]

And does anyone else think there is no way this kid is 21?

I mean he may be but it just didn't seem like it to me.

SMA needs to be careful and not ruin it for the rest of us ADULT users.

There's no way he's even 18. He sounds about 16 to me.

That's about where I would put his age also.

Someone should take his snus away.... You know "for the children"

[sirloot]

its tobacco to put in yer mouth and try it out. its pretty tight and its made from sweeden ! haha what a lame ass clip

[snusjus]

I agree with everyone's sentiments. Why are they having kids like him test snus? He can't even pronounce the word correctly. I guess I had the wrong impression -- General Snus will remain in round, 24 gram cans... for now.

[dpete]

The SM America marketing dept must be really lame. However it did make it easier for me to decide. When I want snuhss I'll go to SM and when I want snus to GN. Quite simple, really, so thank you SM America.

[justintempler]

You guys are harsh. Here's my take on it.
They don't want Americans to confuse snus with dip, this way it will get noticed. A lot of Americans get turned off if they think it's dip.
If selling it in a rectangular can means more people will try it and it catches on, I'm all for it.

Yeah but I'm not 13 though. What's up with that? Wad up with the target market?

He's not that young, he's already a redneck dipper. He probably got picked because he's on a mailing list for Grizzly.

Here's a video of his from a year and a half ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL-7uSp9a0k
I think he's Class of 2010 - That makes him 18 or 19

[truthwolf1]

Holding head, mumbling disgust.

just, have to say the marketing/sales team is really pulling some great one's lately.

[angrylollipop]

they're marketing to people who do not all ready use snus. They're going after the chew and dip users... we all ready use it, we know about it, and most of us love SM products.

[jdman321]

Can't wait to see this around here! And I'd MUCH rather have SM products here than ... V2.

I wonder when they're going to open it up a bit.
