Notable differences

- Strength floor: ZYN's core line starts as low as 1.5mg; zone now has a 3mg option too, but only on two flavors (Wintergreen, Dragonfruit) — the other ten zone flavors start at 6mg.
- Flavor character: zone's Spicy Strawberry and Spicy Mango carry a chili-pepper finish — a flavor twist nothing in ZYN's lineup has.
- Flavor count: ZYN carries 21 flavors (13 core, 8 Ultra) to zone's 12 — both lineups have grown substantially, but ZYN remains larger.
