Slim Jims

[Jorge]

Some time ago it came up that I'd never tried Slim Jims before and Knee Tunes very generously sent me a whole bunch of them. They're completely different than what I was picturing (more like Twizzlers).

After trying them out I'm still very much puzzled by them and can't make up my mind about whether I like them. They're sort of like beef jerky? But also sort of like old desiccated sausages?

Even though my initial impression was negative I kept munching on these strange, spicy, extremely oily long bois.

One thing I tried was put them between two slices of bread to make a Slim Jims sandwich and it was bad.

In any case, thanks to Knee Tunes for sending me these strange snacks I will probably be pondering for months.

What does RM think of SLIM JIMS

I like them, but I haven't had one in years and could live a full life never having one again.

[dad]

putting them between slices of bread was a bold move.

some might consider it an act of desperation.

Have probably only had 2 snaps my entire life

[dad]

[doug rr]

we should all send knee tunes some baseball cards

[dad]

Imagine being reincarnated into a majestic horse only to be used to make 2000 Slim Jims when you die

I was gonna say, SJs give the beef stick a bad name. Like if Twinkies were all one knew of cake. Tasty, but pale in comparison to the real deal.

Thoughts on slim jim?

Thought #1) Slim Jims are the first thing that come to mind whenever I think about dining. So it’s good we have this thread here.

Thought #2) They don’t actually snap.

[Jorge]

Are they supposed to snap?

[BurtReynolds]

Are they supposed to snap?

oooooh yyyyyeah

[BurtReynolds]

As long as I don't think too hard about what is in them, they are ok I guess. I haven't had one in decades though.

there are many far superior beef jerky-esque snacks on that shelf! dislike

Are they supposed to snap?

oooooh yyyyyeah

How? Mine don't come even close to anything approaching a snap. Are they supposed to be stiff? Did I get defective ones?
