I've been dipping for 40+ years. My parents started buying SKOAL for me in 1978 when I was 11 years old and bought it consistently for me until I started working in high school.

I will defend them by saying that I was far from the only young kid dipping in the area where we lived at that time.

On a scale from Livingston Parish trailer parks to parents buying dip for their 11 year old, your parents were definitely buying dip for their 11 year old.

I don’t know what is more trashy, they bought you snuff or they bought SKOAL. Grizzly FTW.

Dipping is the most disgusting habit there is. Constantly spitting black mouth diarrhea into containers? Big lump on your face? Having to get 20% of your jaw removed in a few years because of oral cancer? And your parents started you down this path? They weren't just trashy, they were shitty parents as well.

Tobacco wasn't as taboo back then as it is now. My dad used to get me to drive to the convenience store down the street and get him beer and a roll of Copenhagen when I was like 12 or 13

I grew up in Louisiana from birth to 18 when I left for college.

The vast majority of guys in my high school class dipped. I would say 90% dipped. I was one of the few that did not do so. Even a couple of the girls dipped.

Not a single person I knew in college did so and I don’t think I’ve known of a person since college that does so. It’s unique. I went from a dipping culture to a non dipping culture full stop. It’s like it was embedded just in the culture of my poor little Louisiana town.

It just amazes me that some folks still think the 1978 way was the correct way.

That was 1990, not 1972. That was plenty trashy in the late eightees and early nineties.
