Onico Plus Snus Review

I still don’t quite understand nicotine-free snus — probably never will. Seems a lot like non-alcoholic beer. I mean, if you decide your not going to drink, why not have some tea or something? But snus is kind of a different monster. At least if you were to go alcohol free you could drink something. That is, there’s an alternative to sipping on alcohol and getting fucked up — drinking some lemonade or whatever instead. Sure, it’s not exactly the same thing, but there’s something. Now, let’s say you want to get off nicotine for some reason. Why? I don’t know. Perhaps your buddy bet you that you couldn’t do it, or your doctor told you some lie about it. What else is there to put in your face other than tobacco? It’s a little odd to put pennies or receipts or pocket lint or turkey up there. This, I assume, is the role played by most nicotine-free snus.

Then, there’s nicotine-free snus that delivers something else. The point, I gather, isn’t just ersatz snus, but rather to get something else entirely into your system.

Review: Onico Plus is something of an energy snus — and perhaps a aphrodisiac. Ginseng has been used for these two things for years. Keep in mind, just because it’s used for something doesn’t mean it does this. And guarana is some plant that mirrors caffeine. So… let’s see if I get the jitters — or an erection — from this Onico Plus.

Hmm. Nothing happening that I can tell. I’ll add another Onico.

Still nothing. Let’s double it again.

Maybe I did get a little wake up here. It’s hard to say. Although there is definitely nothing stirring my pants. Wait… no. I guess snus alone just isn’t enough these days… even four at a time. How jaded I’ve become…

Onico Plus smells and tastes like a redbull. I don’t really know how else to describe that smell/flavor. Kind of dusty/sweet/medically/fruity, I guess.

If I were a snus company, I’d get my scientists working on this shit. Imagine not a Redbull snus, but a vodka redbull snus. That would be revolutionary and bring in countless new customers… as well as lawsuits and perhaps regulation. But awesome.

Dominant Flavors:
Redbull

Buzz Factor:
None. Well, the caffeine content may get you going… I drink too much coffee.

The Prognosis:
Interesting snus, but the lack of tobacco limits just how interesting it is to me.
