With ZYN nicotine pouches becoming popular, and finding themselves in more headlines, it's only natural for the brand to feature on various social media platforms. A way in which it has been spoken about online is through memes, some of which you may have already seen. Here we delve into them and the role they play within the community while highlighting some of the more popular memes and their makers.
What Are Memes?
A meme can be an image, a video, or even a few sentences that are usually funny and are spread across the internet via different platforms, reaching many users. They can be about someone in particular, a certain mood, a situation, a sports team, and so on.
Why has ZYN Joined the Fun?
ZYN memes have become popular on social media recently which may be due to the spike in popularity of the brand. This is due to certain things that have happened in the news, politics, and media, mainly due to its shortage, an increase in the number of users, and use in political debates.
When did ZYN memes first begin?
Memes can be very different, highlighting the difficulty of identifying the first or the beginning of the common ZYN meme postings. However, the first that comes to mind and will be remembered, maybe used by many of you reading this, is a phrase created by @cheddy222 in August 2022, which marks the real rise in the brand's nicotine pouch use.
This catchphrase created by “Cheddy” was “Upper Decky Zynnies”, a phrase still used today that marked a real beginning for the ZYN community we see in the US today.
The Role of ZYN Memes Within the Community
As the years have passed and memes have been shared, a community has begun to grow. A place where people can relate to one another through nicotine pouches and share their experiences, personal favorites, and of course, memes. They play an important role as they provide:
- Humor
- Sense of community
In doing so, users can share their opinions and get pointers from other users, helping them when using, choosing, or buying nicotine pouches. These memes lower nervous barriers, make people laugh, and provide common ground and a sense of community.

Do They Have Drawbacks?
The increase in ZYN memes, and the overall coverage of the brand, only catches the attention of regulators, highlighting the potential of stricter regulations surrounding the brand in the US. Moreover, some of these memes highlight unfavorable characteristics and may market the product to the wrong audience, especially when considering the product's prevalence on social media. This is why promoting responsible content is so important.
Promoting Sensible Nicotine Pouch Usage
Here at Prilla we emphasize and push all our customers to use these products responsibly and sometimes that may go against what certain ZYN memes joke about. Yes, they are funny, but that’s all they should be, not guidelines on how to use or view the product.
