At the official launch party, Carlson recalled receiving a letter from Zyn headquarters after jokingly mentioning nicotine pouches have erection-inducing properties on a podcast with comedian Theo Fung.

At the bottom of the page, there was pronoun-like language that said, ‘Here at Zyn World Headquarters, ‘We realized that we had done all these things that were unwarranted. You should know that there is no medical science to back up the untrue misinformation about the product and that it is a cure for erectile dysfunction.” And I thought, “I know, I am. I hate you.’ I hate you,” Carlson said. (Related: Tucker Carlson repents of Zyns, admits ALP is needed)

I gave a consumer product the highest praise and now you’re attacking me for it? ”By the way, that may be true. You don’t even know science. shut up! “

Carlson went on to thank Von for playing a pivotal role in helping her realize that she was consuming a product made by people who hate her and everything she believes in.

“At that moment, I wanted to thank Theo once again for making this revelation possible. This works at the best of moments. For many years, I wanted to thank Theo for making this revelation possible. And that I continued to feed on the fruits of the worst people in the world who hate my family. They hate everything that makes America great, and I was putting them in my mouth every day.” said.
