I don't like reviewing the topics that simply state the brand name and not a specific flavor because products within brands suck as well. I'll give you an example: Skoal Wintergreen- Good, Skoal Mint- Great, Skoal Straight- Nasty Crap. The difference in flavors within brands makes it hard to write a catch-all review.
I felt compelled to review Kodiak, in general, because I have to point out that Kodiak Straight is, in my not so humble opinion, the best dip ever created! You cant get it at the stores where I'm from, all they have is wintergreen, which I've had before, and liked for the most part since it was very moist, very long lasting, packed better than anything I've had before, and came in a very tight-sealed container that kept the dip very fresh. The only think I hated about it was the strong flavor that seemed to burn a hole in my lip. I found myself spending most of the time switching sides rather than being able to enjoy this good quality dip. I feel the excessive flavoring ruined this almost perfect dip.
So, because of this, i figured that logically, Kodiak Straight would be god-like, so when my girlfriend went down to Virginia to see her brother, I told her to pick up a few cans of Kodiak Straight for me, but she came back with Grizzly Straight instead. She got the wrong bear >.> So, since she loves pandas so much, I went out and bought her a stuffed polar bear and told her since she got me the wrong bear, so I got her the wrong bear too... and that's my dip love story right there, I wonder if anyone else has one of those?
Now that im done divulging, Ill wrap this up by saying I wound up ordering a sleeve of Kodiak Straight from a website stationed in Virgina, and let me tell you, what I got was just as amazing as I had expected. A great kick, great packability, easy on my lip, awesome long-lasting buzz, and a nice black-licorice flavor that's just sweet enough :-). If you get a chance to buy Kodiak Straight, Do it!
