Snap into a SlimJim

This is one of my new favorite things! There is just something about it that is GREAT! I know they are kind of gross, but they are good!

EMILY, FRANCES, WARD!!!! I am thoroughly ashamed that you are my sister! Slim Jim's are nasty! The smell alone makes me sick. I feel very strongly about this. Your Ya-Ya cousins might have something to say about this. I know a few gals that have been known to enjoy a Slim Jim or two in their day. I'm thoroughly ashamed of them as well!

Cousin Carrie must come to the defense of the Slim Jim! I must say this spicey snack is a food group all it's own and though it is generally disparaged, it's greasey goodness has much to offer!

Slim Jim will overcome all bias and prejudice as the food of the future!

Jill, you will, one day, embrace the Slim Jim!!

Carrie!!!Do you remember when we were at the truck stop in Minnesota and you bought a slim jim and asked us REALLY loud if anyone wanted to smell your meat stick?? I remember that day as if it were just yesterday. Hee, Hee!

You girls are hilarious! It would take a lot of convincing to get me to accept any redeeming qualities of the Slim Jim! Carrie, are you sure that you're not a paid spokesperson?! The only time that I've ever been able to endure the spicy scent of this particular "meat", (and I use the term loosely) is when I was cooped up in a car for 5 hours with some wacky and wonderful women, and that's only because I was in good company and on my way to a ya-ya weekend!

You are all soooo funny!!! This is so fun! I know what will be at the next family gathering!!! Maybe there needs to be a platter of them! Or some sort of crock pot dish!

Yes!! Let us all have a Slim Jim cook off! I vote for Thanksgiving we have nothing but Slim Jims for meat--that way Jill will be forced to give the Slim Jim a second look.
P.S. If you get the chance, ask my dad what his favorite "almost" meat product is.......he loves Slim Jims but that's not it.

Ooh! I'm scaring myself with the possibilities. I can't imagine what it is. You're not going to keep us hanging are you?

Ok, I have just been updated on the Slim Jim controversy! This is a nutricious product that I must give a thumbs-up to! This almost meat like product has many redeeming qualities, but it mostly known for it's spicy goodness! It promises to satisfy and yet leave you with a mild ulcer every time. What other product leaves you with such yummy warmth inside/
I have no choice but to commend the makers of the almost meat product we lovingly call...the Slim Jim.

you girls are nuts. For everyone's information I went to the official slim jim website and the ingredients are listed as "mechanically separated chicken parts". mm-mm-mmm. I never would have guessed it was chicken.

Laura and I got to talking about Uncle Gary's favorite almost meat product and we're wondering if he as a soft spot for Spam. If so, we may need to get him some help for that.

Laura, you have too much time on your hands.

First of all, the Slim Jim web site is very entertaining as well as ultra informative! (I am checking into becoming a spokesperson, I mean I need extra $ and I love spicey meat sticks!) Secondly, I really need to see a Snap-A-Lope as the centerpiece at Christmas dinner. Also--Yes, you guessed it. Dad's favorite almost meat IS SPAM. Sadly, even though SPAM has a mushy slimy consistancy--I have to admit that I don't hate the taste. (I can't believe I just admitted that on the internet!!)

I'm not sure what a "snap-a-lope" is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with a commercial I saw of some kind of animal made out of Slim Jim wrappers that was wreaking havoc running through a convenience store. It could however NEVER replace the ghetto Santa with the whip centerpiece. Perhaps they could reside in equal places of honor beside one another.
