Last year, I got ahold of some Zyn products from Pakistan. One of them was Zyn Cool Watermelon. It appears as though Swedish Match/PMI has decided to launch that product on the Swedish market. Today, we are checking that one out: Zyn Watermelon Mint Slim. Note, this isn't like the US Zyn with the little dry pouches. These are the slim, moist, soft Zyn pouches. The flavor description for this one says "ZYN Watermelon Mint Slim Strong has a taste of watermelon and cooling mint". Each can weighs 12 grams, and has 20 pouches, at 0.6g each. It's interesting, years ago Zyn Slim sat at 0.8g. Then, it went to 0.7g. Now, the pouches are even lighter, at 0.6g. Come on, PMI, chill on taking the pouch weight. The nicotine content sits at 9mg/g, which is just 5.4mg/pouch. Now, let's check out the taste!
If you've had Zyn Cool Watermelon, you'll note that the aroma and flavor on this one is virtually identical! Opening the can, I pick up a sweet, mild aroma of watermelon. Right behind it, there are some cooling tones of menthol. The pouches are slim, moderately moist, and soft under the lip. I also pick up a light cooling sensation under my lip. In the flavor profile, the watermelon is gentle, but present. It has a light sweetness to it, as well. There are some menthol tones that add a cooling presence to it. The strength on this one is pretty light. It sits at 5.4mg/pouch, which feels pretty mild. I'd say well below the regular level. In the flavor longevity, I find the flavor to last about 30-40 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts
My rating remains unchanged from the review I did for Zyn Watermelon Mint. I gave it a 3.5/5. It's a pretty tasty pouch. My only complaint would be the pouch size getting lighter, and the strength level being too low. But if you like a lighter strength product, and a fresh, melon flavor, you may enjoy this one!
