What do they spit in moneyball

From an experienced chewer, I gotta say they cleaned up the process of dip big time. I will say this, the movie made me crave it big time. You all need a real hobby. I mean, why not fight against war, famine, poverty? Thanks for your informed comment. Quite frankly as gross as his habit is, I would rather sit next to him at a dinner party than have to listen to the never-ending diatribe from judgemental busy body anti-smokers.
