Why'd ya start dippin??

[Cope'n'Texas]

I've seen several posts sayin how, but with this I wanna know WHY?? For me, i was interested in it anyway. I didnt want to smoke, but the farmer i worked for was dippin and i thought it was bad ass. I started when I was 12 at huntin camp. A family member bout my age was dippin and I was able to get a pinch from him. I was hooked. Even though I did puke my guts out, then had my uncles bust my balls bout it. I still enjoyed to shit outta dippin. Now ya'lls turn,
why'd you start?

Started dippin when I was working with my old mans buddy, he said you wanna work with big boys, you gotta drink and dip like them to.

well back in the day when you could actually spit to help you lose weight for wrestling (which is now against the rules) when you were  close we would use dip to help us spit and lose as much water weight as possible before steeping on the scale. and eventually our whole redneck team had dips in our lip all day everyday.and yes you can lose about a pound and a half in water weight spitting for about  an hour haha

we had to for football, our coach dipped so he made us. his first year at the school was my senior year. he made all the seniors do it during the season. we went to state and than lost that year

I was actually dared to put a huge hammer of skoal mint, so I did it. I got $20 for doing it. I didn't puke, but I loved that huge buzz. So i bought me a can the next day. I just love it because it helps reduce some stress for me. Now I'm up to a can a day.

I started because it was tobacco!

I started with cigarettes and then cigars and then pipes and the only thing left back then was Dip.

Never did Chew.

I quit the cigarettes years ago (but still love cigars now and then) and kept the Dip.

I never packed hammers or fatties or golf balls though. I always was and still am a pinch Dipper.

And I seldom spit.

Got dared to put a huge one in. At that time it was levi garrett. Started when I was 11. Started dippin when I was 12.

Just wondering cause I have a friend who wrestles and dips... How can they tell if your doing it? Apparently they don't tell by testing for tobacco in your system cause he just won state in Florida

I started when I was 14, I used to have a very bad temper and would go crazy if someone pushed me too far. Then one day I snapped and threw a kid against a wall and my friends grabbed me and told me to just take a dip and calm down I took one and loved it. Calms me down and tastes great. My friends can tell when I'm out though cause I go back to how I was and one of them even gave me a can one time cause he knew I wouldn't be back to normal till I got one.

I started through a buddy of mine. I had always been curious about it, and my dad had dabbled in it for a while but is a life long smoker and i decided i would make a better choice than smoking and do dip and chew if i had to do anything.

I started smoking at 12 and i had to quit but i couldnt get away from the nicotine and i started dipping and have been hooked every since. I have never puked or got sick from it so i guess you could say im a lucky one!!!!
