I guess I really like Slim Jim's...

Wait - The tax was negative three cents?

I'll be dating myself when I say this; my screen name came from my old CB radio handle, and is still reasonably descriptive. An attempt to register the correct spelling during the earliest days of hotmail was stymied by someone already having an account correctly spelled, so I just removed the "I" in "slim".

I used to get teased a little about the similarity of said handle/screen name and the beef jerky snack. I do indeed like Slim Jim snacks. They're the tasty chewing gum of the processed-meat world.

Great find by the way, OP!

I don’t like Tabasco hot sauce, but I do like the Tabasco Slim Jims.

Although, my typical preference is for the Jack Links products over the Slim Jim brand.

Them’s gooooooooood eatin’!

Back in my younger days I use to eat them all the time . Now I try to avoid anything with more than a handful of ingredients on the label. I’m already well preserved.

Yep, I was wondering who would catch that.

My homemade stuff has more than a handful of ingredients, then again it’s all stuff you can easily recognize and pronounce.

Those are delicious, but messy.

Turkey Habanero isn't my favorite flavor, but that's what was on clearance.

Every road trip I’ve been on included at least 4-5 slim jims…the jumbo one.

waynestractor · 2018-04-05T04:31:54.000Z

I tried one once…possibly the worst piece of processed crap I ever tasted!! Must be lots of people who like them though as I’ve never seen a store that doesn’t sell them

keltex78 · 2018-04-05T12:59:34.000Z

They aren’t bad if you extract the grease from them…

50% grease, 30% wrapper, the rest is 100% beef mixed with a savory blend of salts, nitrates, and MSG!

WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE?

Oh wow, why not list what the crap aint in and how it’s not gonna cause the downfall of man. The list would be a lot shorter.

It’s a very legit concern but that site just screams tinfoil wearing contrail watcher.

It aint even that hard, just leave them on the truck dash in the sun for an hour. Then poke a hole in the bottom and it will pour out on it’s own.

It’s just a rather clever (IMHO) gag site. “DHMO” is the chemical abbreviation for “water”.
