The Real Question ...

I am a very politically-minded person, and I want to know your opinion on something very important to me and my belief/value system.

How many of you dip and what brand?

I dip Skoal Mint and Copenhagen Straight.

There is probably nothing that can make me throw up quicker than putting in a dip. I even tried to go the "bandit" route or whatever those pussy packets are called but just couldn't do it.

I more than make up for it by over doing myself with this:

No dippin' here, but I am a slave to the tobacco gods. It's taken on many forms over the years...

I chewed for like 8 years. Mostly Kodiak Wintergreen with other flavors mixed in. I started during baseball one season and kept going right until I had a kid. Then thought better of it and quit, but I still get the urge when I step onto a diamond and might sneak one when the wife isnt looking.

I quit for about 4 months, because I had noticed a bump on my gums. It went away and the doctor said I was fine.

But then, one day I had a horrible headache, wouldn't go away with anything. So I threw in a dip and presto, hooked again.

I go through about a 10-can roll of Skoal LC Wintergreen every 5 days. So yes, I dip. Have ever since a buddy dared me to do it before state sectionals in my junior year in high school. I spewed a large chunk of vomit on the mound when I accidentally swallowed a bunch of spit and some dip when a liner came right back up the box at me.

I puked about 4 pitches later all over the mound, it was hilarious. I've dipped from that day on!
