Went to a gun show while in high school, sophomore or junior year. When leaving, the red man booth gave my friends and me boxes of red man stickers. My high school was plastered with those sticker for years. I’m still pretty proud of some of the spots we managed to get those stickers.



Those were the good ole days. We used to get out of school (excused) for the annual Ag Expo in Moultrie. We’d come back with sleeves of Copenhagen and Skoal given out to us teenagers by vendors.

I found out this weekend that where my nephew goes to school, they are not allowed to say “bro” because it’s considered racist.

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

“It is something that we have been exploring for a while now for the Red Man product,” Joe Ackerman, vice president of marketing for Swedish Match, which owns the brand, told the Times-Dispatch.


They’re owned by a company out of Stockholm. Libtards are about to get a lesson in economics.

Swedish Match owns Red Man and is based out of Stockholm.

This makes the change less of a surprise.

Redman was my first chew. I was probably 11. And yes, I almost threw up.

I was a little older but yes, first and last.

Beech-Nut was my first one. Didn't chew too long before I moved on to Copenhagen.

Throw in a few more confederate statues and I expect crime to plummet around the country.

Was definitely not my last. I moved on the Copenhagen and dipped through high school, college and into my late twenties. I developed a sore in my mouth and it scared the shite out of me. I quit cold turkey. It was brutal getting over the nicotine addiction. I had MAJOR headaches. But I did it.

In my po dunk town in Louisiana, I was one of 31 boys in my high school class and the only one who didn’t chew and spit tobacco. Even a few of the girls chewed. And Levi Garrett was indeed the choice of everyone.


Good times.

Indians introduced the colonists and Europe to tobacco. Prior to cotton it was our biggest export. It’s not like they named it Red Boy or Red Bitch. There’s nothing wrong with Red Man.
