These have been a good snack to have on occasion for years now. They became popular back in the day when The Ultimate Warrior and Randy “Macho Man” Savage would harrass kids and use peer pressure to chomp on these (you know they did). I thought it was funny but hey, they do taste good. I prefer these dlim jims to the other “meat sticks” that are found in stores that are so called good and expensive. If you havn’t had one, check it out.
… a BUCK-AND-THIRTY-NINE for just one of these things?! And that doesn’t even include the extortionate shipping charges! Sheesh, I can grab one of these here “Giant Slims” at the local 7-11 for less than that, and I don’t hafta wait several days for it to arrive at my doorstep!
Still… I wonder how the Amazon warehouse folks would package one of these bad-boys all by itself for shipment? Would they actually put it in a proper box, complete with those inflatable air-pouch-packet dealies? Or would they curl it up so that it’d fit into one of those corrugated cardboard DVD mailers? Ya know what, I think I’ll actually order a single Slim Jim from Amazon, if for nothing more than to satisfy my curiosity! Heh, I can just imagine how the folks on my “Share the Love” list will react when I share THIS purchase with ‘em! ESPECIALLY the vegan ones (groovy or otherwise)…
Price gripes and product shipping concerns aside, I’ve never been a big on “snappin’” into a Slim Jim. Nope, I prefer to peel the outer “skin” right offa the thing– a procedure my best friend indelicately refers to as “circumcising the Slim Jim”– and sink them snags right into the greasy, salty goodness of the coagulated mush that is the Slim Jim “stuffing”, with nary a sound to be heard.
Now you’re probably wonderin’ what I do with those discarded skins, right? Well, even if you’re not, I’m gonna tell ya anyway: I’m savin’ `em up until I’ve got enough to fashion `em into a life-size statue of former Slim Jim pitchman “Macho Man” Randy Savage. OOOH YEAH!!!
