Talk:Zig-Zag (company)

message: MADD (Mothers Against Drinking and Driving) has released a series of tv ads where various items tell "stoners" that they ought not smoke pot and then drive.  One features a talking pack of Zig-Zags, with the Zouave on the cover telling a young man he's "way too high" to drive.  I've been trying hard to find a reference to this...  Anyone got a link?  --Hiddekel 14:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the link to interleaving since it doesn't apply to this.  Wiktionary has a fitting definition: "interleave: To intersperse (something) at regular intervals between the parts of a thing".  I'd switch the link to go there instead, but i don't know if it's proper for a wikipedia article to link to wiktionary.. perhaps someone who knows for sure might want to do that, or (also?) clarify a bit more what interleaving is, as it pertains to rolling papers.  24.153.122.13 (talk) 19:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  interleaving 

message: I have only ever seen Zig-Zag used for marijuana. I know the product predates the craze for marijuana in the West, but I don't understand why anyone bought them. I used to roll my own cigarettes and would never use Zig-Zag, because they went out too easily. Since marijuana was much more expensive than tobacco back then, pot smokers liked that feature, because it reduced waste. So I came here wondering why Zig-Zag were developed to be so hard to use with cigarettes in the first place. Does anyone know? Bostoner (talk) 03:13, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also only ever seen Zig-Zag used for marijuana, but that's probably because I never in my life knew anyone who (to my knowledge) rolled cigarettes. Two things occur to me 1) I have no recollection of joints going about by themselves (and, as far as I know, every joint I ever encountered was rolled with Zig-Zag papers), and 2) since probably most of us immediately think of marijuana when they think of Zig-Zag (since pretty much every marijuana user rolls and extremely few cigarette smokers do), there ought to be be some way of referencing marijuana in the article.

thread_title:  Primary Usage? 

message: Zouaves originate from Northwest Africa, where "zig" and "zag" are common phonemes in names.  I think the product name is more likely a sort of nickname than a reference to the way the papers are arranged--or at least the term for such arrangement might have been inspired by Zouave names.  Company representatives might want to avoid appearing racist and thus claim the name was only a description of the packaging method.  They surely wouldn't say, "We used to call the Zouaves 'ZigZags' so that's what we called the man on the package," even if it were true.  I think we are being given a politically-cleansed spin on the name, so I called for a citation.1canuckbuck (talk) 08:44, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: Cut and paste from the article as it currently stands:
"The Zig-Zag brand produces primarily hand-rolled tobacco related products such as cigarette marijuana, rolling papers, cigarette tubes and rolling accessories."
The company produces cigarette marijuana? and rolling papers? Is cannabis available ANYWHERE commercially? 
I suspect that sentence was intended to read  "....such as cigarette and marijuana rolling papers, cigarette tubes...."
THink i';m gong to change it if there are no objections...
