That Flavored Dip Dude Is So Gay

A reader writes:

I played baseball through college, so I was surrounded by rednecks who dipped -- ok, I admit it, I dipped, too (not a redneck, however).  No self-respecting dipper used flavored dip -- I remember when cherry flavored skoal came out -- no way.  In fact, there was a huge hierarchy of dips -- leading up to the two biggies, Copenhagen (cause it tastes like dirt) and Kodiak (cause it was reputed to have fiberglass in it). 

If he went on this rant around us, he'd never have made it beyond banning flavored tobacco being "gay" -- the irony would have sent us into convulsions.

Points duly taken. I thought he was kinda hot myself.
