I'm serious when I say these are some of the softest pouches around. Some folks call Zyn "lip pillows", but these are more deserving of the title than Zyn, to be honest. Altria says these are "the softest pouch[es] on the planet", which I agree with. It contains a tech called FlexTech, and here is how they describe it: "FlexTech is the material in on!®PLUS that makes the nicotine pouch elastic. It is made of a soft material and does not have the traditional welded ends". Not only that, but ...these pouches stretch!
I've attached a GIF so you can see how stretchy these pouches are. It's really interesting. I'm not sure why they need to stretch, but they do! I did a video on Twitter/X about this once, and they can stretch up to 6" before losing their structural integrity and breaking. That's pretty wild! Now, let's get into the reviews and do a taste test!
Flavor Description: "A tropical blend of sweet mango and tangy pineapple".
Can Contents: 10 grams, I count 13-15 pouches per can, on average, and weighed them out at 0.67 grams each.
Nicotine Strength: 9mg/pouch (also available in 6 and 12mg)
My Review: Opening the can, I note the mango and pineapple aromas to be pretty well balanced. Usually one seems more dominant over the other but they come across relatively even. The pouches are incredibly soft, lightly moist, with a great feel against the gum. But the flavor! This is a tasty one. The mango and pineapple mix well, and there seems to almost be a dab of orange in the mix. It's a tasty pairing. I picked these up in the 9mg strength, and found them to be pretty comfortable in nicotine release. The flavor lasts a good 40-45 minutes, on average!
Flavor Description: "Sweet and tart blueberry complemented by cool, crisp mint".
Can Contents: 10 grams, I count 13-15 pouches per can, on average, and weighed them out at 0.67 grams each.
Nicotine Strength: 9mg/pouch (also available in 6 and 12mg)
My Review: This is one I had to spend some time with. At first, I was rather conflicted with it. In the aroma, I pick up a clear aroma of blueberry, a slight hint of mint, and a little herbal touch to it. I'll talk more on that shortly. The pouches, again, are quite comfortable. Just really, really soft stuff. In the flavor, it's rather complex! The blueberry flavor is the star of the show, with the mint adding a fresh touch to the taste, and against the gum. There's something herbal poking about, but it's very mild. It almost makes me think of a mild touch of pine. The strength, at 9mg, is comfortable, and yields a satisfactory release. In the flavor longevity, I find a good 40-45 minutes of lifespan.
Rating and Final Thoughts
In the end, Mango Pineapple rated at 3.75/5, and Blueberry Mint at 3.17/5. I will say, Mango Pineapple is quite a treat. As a lover of these pouches, and tropical flavors, this is one I will definitely be buying again. Blueberry Mint is okay, but not a favorite. I think people who like fruit or mint tastes, however, may enjoy this one!
