Removable potion of lid?

[Kenho21]

Anyone know what the removable portion of the lid of General Snus cans is for?

Not talking about how the lid itself comes off the can, but how the little "cover" or whatever you would call it comes off to reveal a secret little cubby hole. My best guess is for discarded or used portions, but I'm pretty new to the snus game.

You're right. It's for storing used portions when you are out and about.

Years ago when portions came out in the 70's (before that it was all loose) snus started becoming more popular in Sweden. The problem was people where leaving spent portions all over the place. Swedish Match came up with the idea of have a place to put used portions in the can.

I only use it on rare occasions.

Cool, I've just been throwing mine in the trash or on the ground. So, maybe instead of the ground I will use that from now on lol. I've been trying to think of something to carry just a few, maybe four or six portions, around with me. Anyone come up with any good compact containers they use?

I know the cans themselves are pretty good, but I'm looking for something even smaller, if there's anything out there....

I use these little plastic smash boxes that have an attached lid. I bought them from US Plastics originally to use for nasal snuff but realized I could carry four or five portions in one. I'll find a link for you tomorrow and post it on this thread.

That'd be awesome and much appreciated!

Here's that link I promised.

Some of the little travel pill containers that pharmacies carry are pretty air tight. I use the metal one with the screw on top that has an o ring in it.

Thanks for the link! Probly pick a couple of them up.

Never thought of using the pill carrier and the funny thing is I already use one for me thyroid medication! Could just stick a couple portions in there as well.

I read a complaining article about in Sweden they'd be finding old portions left in drinking fountains and such. This was when I believed all the propaganda about rotting teeth etc...and I thought how Gross! Yeah. So I bet that's why they put the cubby there. Don't want to be gross.

I use a contact lens case. 3 portions in one side and stonewalls in the other. I already had it from dipping when I used an M401. Works good though.

I use little baggies. Little tiny ones, like 2"x2". I don't remember why I even have them

I'm trying to imagine how I'd fit 3 portions into one side of a contact case! Are they squished up in there?

Well that's a blast from the past. I remember all to well my M401 and using a contact lens case for dipping. That was over 4 years ago. They still make m401's.

Another use for the spent portion lid is to carry a different flavor snus in it. I do it all the time but I use the icetool portion can.
