I notice most of you refer to what the snus contains as "cans". I always thought it was "tin", or can they be used interchangeably. Whenever I'm at a shop, I ask for a "tin" of General. I'm assuming "can" is the proper terminology then?

It doesn't matter I don't think. I tend to use tin; but sometimes can. I guess it depends on mood. If I were to vote on an official word, I'd probably go with tin. -
It really doesn't seem like either to me. It's either a small plastic tub or paper board. I only buy it on-line though. If they had it in the store I'd say "and that Oden's" and point.Comment

Can.Comment

I use the word "can".Comment

To me it has always been a can and say can....
IMHO I think "can" is the proper terminology. When you shop on the online shops you are putting and buying cans in your cart not tins... I have coupons from General that were sent to me just yesterday and it says enjoy $2.50 off any one can of General, Another states... Your next can for $1. If Swedish Match is referring to them as cans the cans it is...Comment

Tin, I ask for a tin of snuff and it carries over with snus so I refer to them as tins.Comment

Tin sounds more like ...
a tin of FISH :^)
btw.... the word can has been used so much on the forums... there's Google traffic coming in for the term "rubish can" and "empty cans" lmaoComment

Like everyone else has said....it can be either. I prefer can just because thats how it was introduced to me "this is a can of skoal apple" I believe the farther east you get in the U.S. the more it is referred to as a tin.Comment

Portions come in a can….which is tossed onto the counter by some random gas station attendant with the mere exchange of money...........
Los, on the other hand, is lovingly and delicately conveyed in a tin………….. for the gentleman of discerning taste and a refined pallet……………it is then gingerly wrapped in a tidy parcel and affectionately handed to the coinsurer by his local tobacconist………….but only after a period of thoughtful reflection and anticipation…………. restrained only by a due sense of decorum and expected modesty.
Look if ya’ll can stir the pot with religion and gun debates…………..I can throw a little whooie into the mix over losWhen it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengersComment

I think I use both words on occasion but I guess 'can' is more fitting than 'tin' with 'tin' maybe suggesting a metal 'tin' of snuff.Comment
