Abstract

A smokeless tobacco can having a lid with a scoop formed therein that reduces the amount of smokeless tobacco that falls from the fingers onto the surrounding area. The scoop is used to transfer smokeless tobacco from the can to between the inner lip and gums. This reduces mess, and reduces the amount of the smokeless tobacco that is wasted, thereby saving a substantial amount of the smokeless tobacco by avoiding repeated losses resulting from repeated use of the fingers to transfer a “pinch” of smokeless tobacco. The scoop formed in the lid includes a curved sidewall that curves upward to meet the upper lid sidewall so as to form a scoop edge, which edge is used to scoop smokeless tobacco from the can bottom. The scoop can hold as much smokeless tobacco as a typical “pinch”. The smokeless tobacco can may also include a cap that protects the scoop.
