It's the equivalent of a potato chip *crisp* in meat stick form.
For: -when been drinkin -when need the salt and a little bit in belly to go with the Mountain Dew after a long hot day outside -when quitting smoking and oral fixation kicks in -when to need keeping the ape brain busy while on a long drive -when a kid and don't really know better, kids get the two foot long ones -when it's going to sit around for a couple more days, how much shelf stable meat is there to eat on the go with no refrigeration? Not a lot. These fit that. -catfish bait There are dozens of brands not sold in gas stations of more or less the same thing that are MUCH better. Angus brand, Jack Links, etc. SlimJiims often sit around too long. Fresh ones in high turn over places are the way to go. If your first sample is an old one, that might be part of the bad impression. |

It's because they have these things called "spices" that add flavor to otherwise bland food. I know you're English, and are are unfamiliar with seasonings, so it's ok. It's a funny thing knowing that Great Britain spent centuries conquering vast swaths of the world in search of spices, and yet found they didn't like any of them.

Interestingly, they kept WWII rationing all the way up until 1954, so all of their boomer recipes were made around that. That's why all of their food is objectively worse than everyone else's. Even a slim jim is a better breakfast than beans and blood pudding or whatever the hell. |

The only time I eat them is when there's one dangling for dear life in the vending machine at work because some quitter walked away when it didn't vend properly and all it needs to be free is a good shoulder into the machine.
So, once in 13 years, but I do like them

Nothing I buy. If someone tosses me one because I was hungry I’ll eat one. If buying I would much sooner buy a more meat like beef jerky, which is still a rare occurrence.
I will make my own venison jerky, real jerky, not ground sticks or gun processed burger jerky. |

A couple of Slim Jim’s, a can of Skoal, and a bottle of water and I’m out the door to hunt deer for a week. It’s a secret and magical combination passed down since the first cavemen hunted mastodon. Smells like Victory

I don't personally like them, being more of a real beef jerky guy myself.
 It's gas station food on road trips. Even so, the better bet is to find the random locally made jerky somebody put in a clear bin near the counter, that hasn't been washed out since the purveyor talked the gas station owner into selling it back in 96.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So you do eat them? They are not given away by the government in the projects. People with actual money, go to a store and buy them? They work hard and spend actual cash on these things? What is this texture? Why are they slimey, is that the chemicals leaking out? It’s like eating construction material, you could use these as wall insulation, although they taste like they could spontaneously combust. Pretty sure even the rats wouldn’t eat them. If you think these are bad, just try one of our Kit Kats over here! Shit compared to the ones in Britain. |

If you ever feel like you’re about to die from 10 hours of manual labor in 90+ degree weather just eat a slim jim and drink an energy drink. Itll keep you alive for at the very least 30 more minutes.

I had never had a slim jim until our units got them in care packages in Iraq. Now I'll buy them if I'm on a road trip or something, but they aren't every day food. They taste like meat fat and salt, just like every other pepperoni in the world.
I'm not going to stand here and take shit about bad food from a limey. |

Slim Jim's are nasty. I've been eating the Archer mini beef sticks (1-2 a day) from Costco lately and they are pretty good. I do like beef sticks but usually buy Tillamook if Costco doesn't have the Archer ones.
I definitely prefer beef jerky and will eat the shit out of it. |

Fucking picky New Age Millennials are going to be the death of this Republic.
Nobody cares what you like or dislike. Definitely nobody cares about your opinion. Unsophisticated people with unsophisticated tastes made this country and keep it running. FREEDOM and LIBERTY taste like Slim Jims, Mountain Dew, cheap beer and energy drinks (and iron and gun oil and burnt powder). |
