Interesting Tobacco
Not very recently anymore, James went to Sweden for a business trip. While he was in a meeting, he saw a guy reach into his pocket, pull out a little container and take out a little teabag looking thing. The guy then proceded to stick it in his mouth between his gum and his lip.
James thought: What the hell is that?
It turns out it's a type of tobacco. In a little teabag looking thing. Sort of cool if awful for your mouth (it erodes the gums after a while). He brought me home some just to show me because I thought it sounded really funky and had never heard of anything like that (though I am not, in fact, a tobacco connoisseur so that might just be my own ignorance).
I'm getting ready to throw this thing out, but I figured I'd take a few pictures for posterity. The brand is General.

Dude, its chewing tobacco in a neat little tote-bag.
Not that I like chew ... I've never liked it ... but I am curious to try it ... hmmmmmmmm....
DID NOT ORIGINATE IN SWEDEN. I first tried these when I was 11 years old. They had already been around a loooong time manufactured by Skoal. Skoal "Bandits", I believe.

Beware Swedish goods. This is a Country that has a chocolate bar called 'Plop', another called 'Kex*' and a draft beer called 'FÅT', which pronounced properly sounds like this...FART. Enough said. ;-)

* this is of course another word for trousers, or pants depending on which shore of the Atlantic you call home.
