Why are Slim Jims so hard to open?

[steve2112]

Because you are weak in both body and mind!

If you were strong of body then opening them would be easy. If you were strong of mind then your intellect would tell you to use a sharp instrument to help. Sorry friend, with what you have shared it would appear that your case is hopeless.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

I'm not familiar with Slim Jims, the only thing I know about them is that they used to be endorsed by the Ultimate Warrior – and it strikes me that he was a rather strong chap. Maybe that's why he was chosen to advertise them, because you have to be really strong to open them properly.

Worth considering, I reckon.

They're like Pepperami from the looks of them. I've not tried them yet, because, well, They look like Pepperami!

Or..... I'm just bored at work and our friend Frisco provided a brief opportunity for some relief. In fact I should probably say thank you.

Mr./Mrs. Frisco, thank you sincerely for sharing the sad fact of your present helpless condition. It has provided me with a momentary escape from the hum drum of my daily grind. I hope others, like myself, who find themselves in positions much superior to that of yours, will also find themselves encouraged.

I've never had trouble opening a Slim Jim. Just grab it at the top (where it's cut zig-zag) and tear it downward. Works every time.

 

[Mr. McMac]

I've been meaning to try a Slim Jim for over 40 years. Talk about procrastinating...lol!

That is a little scary that you are willing to eat something without knowing what it is.

These kinds of responses are so overdramatic. Do you eat hot dogs? Do you eat out at restaurants? You eat stuff that you don't know what's in it all the time. Is it scrap meat? Yeah. Is it fatty? Yeah. Is it way too much sodium? Yeah. But that's about the sum of it. There are some preservatives in it but so are there in every pre-packaged food.

Overdramatic? Nope, I don't eat anything that isn't natural. I even look for meat that is raised naturally and hormone free. I am a body builder and a health nut that doesn't believe that we should be consuming things because some company that cares only for money tells you it is ok.

If you want to eat that crap then go for it. Slim Jims are pressed meat meaning that you might be eating things from that chicken that you would never imagine ever putting in your mouth. It is also loaded with chemicals to preserve it. Do I eat them, no, I would still rather lick the floor of my bathroom.

 

[bdodds1985]

do you think macho man had a hard time opening them? I doubt it, man up cadet.

if you haven't tried it yet, it's probably not for you.

I would rather put that crap in my body than read another one of your whiny posts. SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM! EAT ME!

Speaking of whiney....

Nobody forced you to read my post, move along. Feel free to add me to your ignore list.

You'd rather lick urine and feces and whatever is on the feet who went in there? Yep, not overdramatic at all.

I eat sausages (wurst) without knowing what it is (only if handmade at a butcher) ... but a slim jim is just processed garbage

This is true for many people, but for some of us it isn't.

My second post was over dramatic. So? Are you the new forum police?

ohhhhh yeahhhhh!!

 

[steve2112]

I only eat hand-crafted, artisan, processed meat products. They are made by a company you've never heard of.

The ingredients are not that bad tbh. We all have eaten worst over the years.

Over here we have peperami which isn't far off the same sort of product.

Where do they get the salt they use in them?

Where do they get the salt they use in them?

to be fair, i did say that I only purchase hand-made wurst from the local butcher (and here every other block has one)

that isn't totally true, though, I also buy a few from PICK when I'm in Hungary, but I try to avoid non-locally made stuff as I find the quality inferior.

i've never understood the appeal of a slim jim.

[steve2112]

They get it from a small, family-run, salt mine. It's totally wind-powered, so it has a very low carbon footprint. The salt is transported using free range horses and mules, and the mines are refilled after the salt is extracted. I'm sure you've never heard of them.

Just, so you know, I've bought salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine when I was teaching in Kraków and it was much lower quality than the Baltic Sea Salt.

Actually, most people haven't trained their senses enough to know the difference between Weiliczka and Baltic Sea salt. In fact, most people can't even distinguish different subtle tastes. The ratio of sensors/channels/receptors per mm^2 is some of the highest within the body and most people's diets "numb" (saturate) those senses.

Thought you might like to know that.

Of course it was worse. Wieliczka is far too mainstream, and they used all the best salt making those statues.

 

[Tomorrow]

Is there some kind of "hipster salt of the month" club I can enroll in? I feel like I'm missing out on something - I always thought salt was salt, you know, good ol' sodium chloride.

I guess this thread has reached the point where users get uncomfortable when their confronted with their lack of knowledge.

guys, take it easy!

it's understandable and happens to the best of us!

All you have to do is come to the US and look in any direction to understand that people have no concept of what they are ingesting.
