What the top 20 tells you
1. Cherry beat mint for the top spot
Mint is still the biggest flavour family overall, but no single mint product outsold ZYN Black Cherry. Counting the 3 mg, 6 mg and 9 mg versions together, Black Cherry accounts for about one in every eleven cans we sold this year.
2. Small pouches are winning
Eleven of the top 20 are ZYN Minis. Customers clearly like a smaller, more discreet pouch, and the Mini format sells more than ZYN Slim overall. If you have only tried Slim pouches, our guide to Slim vs Mini explains the difference.
3. Most people choose a moderate strength
Twelve of the top 20 are 6 mg or less. The exception is VELO, where the strong freeze pouches lead: the 17 mg Freezing Peppermint MAX is the second best-selling pouch in the whole store. More on that in our 2026 strength report.
4. VELO owns the icy peppermint niche
Four of the five VELO pouches in the top 20 are peppermints. Freezing Peppermint appears three times, at 10.9, 14 and 17 mg.
The most-ordered pouches
Share of cans rewards people who buy in bulk. If you instead count how many separate orders included each product, a few fruit flavours move up the list. This is a good guide to what people like to try or mix in.

Mint buyers tend to find their pouch and stock up. Fruit buyers order a wider spread of flavours in smaller quantities. Peach, Purple Grape and Watermelon Mint all rank much higher by orders than by cans.
