    Misconceptions about snus

    So, after looking on some youtube videos while being bored it really hit me.

    The majority of atleast the uploaders have no idea how to use this new product even when it says what to do on the tin.

    Being that camel snus ( the american kind ) is fairly common now in the U.S, people have the urge to make videos about it, and while certainly entertaining it´s also a bit mindboggling to watch some of them.

    First, it´s usually referred to as a dip you can swallow (?)
    Secondly, it´s usually used as a dip, people seem to stick this stuff just about anywhere, and rarely where it´s supposed to be.

    It should be a dead giveaway that you are doing something wrong when it´s supposed to be spitless, yet you feel the urge to spit once every minute anyway.

    Chewing it doesnt seem to be too far off either for some. :lol:

    Whats wrong with popping it under you´r lip and let it be, no spit, no swallowing, and if you want some more flavor, simply bulge you´r upper lip a bit and release it back and you get some snus armoa in your mouth.

    But hey, I´m not whining or anything, everyone can ofcourse do what they want. I just think many who try snus and treat it as some kind of new dip miss out on whats really different and then just dismiss it as some lame swedish attempt of making dip that sucks, but what do I know, just some late night thoughts.

    You would be amazed at how dense some people can be. For instance, I was back home last week, and while I was at a friend's house, his older brother mentioned he was using the Camel snus. I asked him if he wanted some Swedish snus, and he accepted the offer. After he chose Göteborgs Rapée lös (it was that or Skruf Stark lös), he decided to have me bake the pris for him.

    I watched in horror as he took it a launched it to the back of his mouth, on the bottom. None too surprisingly, he quickly told me that is tasted terrible. I pointed out to him that you're supposed to put snus up behind the top lip, even with Camel snus. He seemed totally taken by surprise. It was pretty funny for me.

        I've always thought the usage instructions on all of the snus sites were pretty funny......it's always a crude drawing of a guy holding a little square in his hand, and then another one that's almost exactly the same except there's an arrow pointing at his mouth. :lol: Not too descriptive.

        I can see how there is lasting confusion though; Americans are familiar with dip and how dip is used, so it only stands to reason that they would try to use snus like dip in the beginning.

          You mean you don't shove it up your ass? And here all along I thought that any old mucus membrane would work.

          Huh, you learn something every day I spose!

            Son of a Bitch. I thought it was worm food.
            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.

                Actually....and here I am terrified to say this, because I know some knitwit will try it....that would probably work TOO well.
                You know, like the butt chug? Get way drunk off a couple beers? Prolly would be the same with snus.
                AH HA!!!!! The latest tobacco plot to kill the world... tobacco SUPPOSITORIES!!!

                  Lol!! A little birdie told me someone got banned over Level! :shock:

                  Chossy, you know how ignorant Americans can be about new things! Or just too lazy to do the research about it!

                  Not everyone mind you, but the younger generation tends to leap without looking! 8)

                    I actually saw a video on youtube where some guy demostrates various usages of dip and showing it up his ass was one part of the demo.
                    I also saw a video of some dude putting four portions of offroad cranberry under his lip, not even catching a buzz and claiming that he has no nicotine addiction. This is mind-boggling. I think it s this one
                    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81ORuEBfwg4
                    He is saying he is not an addict, he is just after the flavor. I joke with my co-worker who dips skoal - you just love wontergreen - right? It would be perfect if it wasn 't for this pesky nicotine.

                      That damn nicotine keeps getting in the way of my search for the perfect bergamot flavor! Screw it, I'm just gonna go back to drinking Earl Grey! 8)

                        To clarify talking about level did not in fact get this person banned! Apparently someone with a personal vendetta virally blocked!

                        Shame on that person! There's no room on this forum for such childishness!

                        Luckily we have vets here that bring a certain amount of discipline to the table! Let's all just get along people!

                        PS we have no idea who did this and are not, repeat not pointing any fingers!

                        Bygones are bygones!

                          G-ack!

                          Richard Gere Gerbil Snus?

                          But seriously. I never dipped before and I bottom lip it. I don't think it affects my experiance and it is my preference. I can talk better lower jawing it and it is easier to hide.

                          Inner lip to gum - am I doing it right?

                            Everyone knows if you put food up your butt, you crap out of your mouth.

                              If you like it that way then it´s right for you.
                              What I meant by this whole thread is that many who might try snus, because they want something discreet and like the fact of it being spitless, if they bottomlip it, stick it somewhere in the back of the mouth or even under the tongue, then they will probably miss out on the concept of it being spitless because it will juice up.

                              That´s all, if you like it, however you do it then be my guest.
                              If you tried it and didn´t like it, when using it anywhere else but the upper lip, then I would suggest try it in the upper lip and give it a second chance.
