Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson announced the official release of his new ALP nicotine pouches Thursday, arguing that Zyn brand pouches are of substandard quality, according to a press release.
“There’s no reason consumers should be forced to buy nicotine pouches from soulless, pronoun loving, politicized conglomerates that despise them and their culture,” Carlson said. “With ALP, they now have an alternative that is delicious and far better than Zyn, which in case you haven’t noticed is as dry as a teabag.”

There will be four flavors to choose from: Chilled Mint, Mountain Wintergreen, Refreshing Chill and Tropical Fruit.
