RFK Jr. Appears To Slip A Zyn Tobacco Pouch, And The Internet Goes Wild

By |

Old RFK Jr. is a bit of a fan favorite with his out-of-the-box thinking and revolutionary approach to the way the US medical system will work. Now, RFK Jr. has just proven himself further as the people's choice appearing to pop a Zyn during his Senate confirmation hearing.

The Senate confirmation of RFK Jr. is intended to grill the man on his past ideals and statements. Before he is signed in as Trump's health secretary, the Senate needs to give him the okay. The confirmation was a real ordeal for the man. His past is not the most straightforward, and he's come out with quite a few controversial remarks.

But, think what you will about him, he does things his own way. In the footage of the senate hearing, RFK Jr. is seen popping what is thought to be a Zyn tobacco pouch into his mouth. These things are an alternative to smoking, and taking the U.S. by storm.

Whether or not this is the case is yet to be seen, but the internet loved it.

Zyn Popping RFK Jr. Establishes Him As One Of The Boys

Zyns and the various other tobacco pouches taking over the U.S. tobacco industry are somewhat of a cult movement. Considered to be healthier than smoking, and a lot less stinky, they are the chosen nicotine intake of bros. Now, it appears that RFK Jr. is using them to chill out a little during his senate grilling.

"Nonchalantly nesting a nico nugget. What a legend," one X user praises. A little bit of everyman behavior goes a long way to currying favor with the crowds. Popping a Zyn is definitely the kind of naughtiness we like to see.

A clever little play on words pops up too. "Robert F Zynnedy. $zyn to a tin," a quick-witted commenter says. He may be the health secretary, but it doesn't mean he's not impartial to the quick hit of a nicotine pouch. He's had a long life, and if RFK Jr. wants to indulge in a couple of Zyn here and there, why not let him?

He's rarely been one for regular health advances anyway, always staying on the edge of medical science. I can't see why the man wouldn't also enjoy a hit of nicotine in a stressful situation.
