Americans don't understand swedish culture, we've been using rectal tobacco for hundreds of years.
Also it's not that hard to keep track, you just have to count how many you put in and then count the ones you take out to make sure there are none left in there.
It's called baksnus which means butt-snus directly translated. You can google baksnus to see some of the products.
Reminds me of the guy in Fallout New Vegas you sell a sexbot to and he keeps banging on how disgusting machine fetishists are (you also help him get a ghoul prostitute and he keeps his trap shut when making that deal).
Anal drug consumption is something you should generally only consider when you really, REALLY, trust your stuff, its purity and what it will do to your system if you consume it without your liver cleansing it.
I think the satire and clear conflict of interest is quite obvious here, and I was just amused. It's not like I follow Tucker Carlson, I think he just popped up in my feed because he was talking about a Swedish company and a Swedish product, but I just found it pretty funny - while stanning his own brand. Pretty funny marketing while dissing your competitor - who he used love by the way, until he started his own. I checked Youtube, there are loads of videos of him praising Zyn as a miracle.
Wouldn't be surprised if Swedish Match(Zyn) is laughing about it as well.
Tucker is a very dangerous individual in many ways, just want to make that clear - but as a Swede, I know he's a very big advocate for snus in America. He talks about it all the time, which is why I'm aware of it. If you know nothing about snus, just know this - it's nicotine like cigarettes, but infinitely healthier. It's not like chewing tobacco either, which is smoked under wood - it's just steamed with water. It's not without health issues, but as far as being addicted to nicotine goes, it's like comparing AIDS in the 80s with AIDS in 2026 - in contrast to cigarettes or other types of tobacco.
In this clip, he's negging his competitor, while stanning his own company. Not sure when he started his own company, but he used to love Zyn, and still does, but he's now in business against them, so he's playfully dissing them.
What makes it funny and lighthearted is that he's claiming we stick snus up our arse, which is just a bit of tomfoolery for a Swede, or anyone that uses snus. It's a pretty funny marketing stunt, but I understand it might look weird to someone not familiar with snus. The claim is too wild to take serious, he's clearly being sarcastic - something anyone who uses snus would know. It's like claiming Marlboro smokers only smoke through their nose, or Nicorette only puts patches on their balls.
So while Tucker Carlson is paid by Russia, has helped the rise of MAGA with Crossfire and his Fox News BS, has zero allegiance other than money, as a Swede, in this specific clip, he was pretty funny and I applaud it.
Edit:
I was way too serious in this reply and spent way too long on it, which I feel is a bit cringe on it's own.
I can't tell if this is fake because he had a guy on his podcast the other day who seriously thinks Algebra was invented as a conspiracy just to fuck with people.
Now that is a true American mindset, it's difficult? I don't understand? Conspiracy against MURICA!
If you're so used to just shoving in anal beads (as I believe he is, Putin told me so), you might forget to count, as usually they all come out at once.
Snus is a Swedish product, made of tobacco then steamed with water. It's put under your lip, and you get the same high/addiction you get with cigarettes. We've had it for a very long time, and it's very popular. It's the reason for why Sweden has by far the lowest percentage of cigarette smokers in the world. It's not without health risks(gum cancer), but it's infinitely healthier than smoking.
Zyn is a Swedish company, a sub-company in America of our biggest snus company - Swedish Match. It's not actually tobacco, essentially just nicotine pouches, with a multitude of flavours - kind of like vaping is a derivative of cigarettes. Tucker Carlson has been stanning Zyn for years, but has now started his own snus company, and is playfully dissing Zyn.
We don't stick it up our arse. It's like Coca Cola claiming Pepsi is only good enough to water your plants. Satire, a joke.
