Why are Slim Jims so hard to open?

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.

i was just there.

baby jesus weeps after viewing US cuisine.

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.

Glad you asked. Yes, yes, there is such a club.

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!

I've learned that we're all a hell of a lot smarter while sitting behind our monitors. I would love to sit with you and have a conversation face to face. Something tells me it won't go as well, for you.

Or we don't care. I don't need to be an elitist about what food I consume; in the end it's all organic and inorganic matter.

I work in the biological sciences. I know quite well whats in most products, and I really don't give a crap-- the purported detriment to your health from some of these agents is about as over-dramatized as an EPA visit. Or that movie Fork over Knives.

The fact that waloshin didn't start this thread is just wrong.

I was amazed that he didn't start this thread. It is right up his alley.

i find them to be very pleasing in a care package. it soothes the mre's and dfac slop and is a quick snack on a long mission, or while in a Mrap of buffalo (overgrown bomb detector with humans inside) for long periods of time.

I agree. Why is everyone knocking them?

i wouldn't say everyone. just a couple, one expected, who thinks everything they do is better than everyone else. including macho man randy savage.... it's a shame.

no different than drinking a soda, or a piece of candy IMHO.

Anything makes MREs taste better. I think dirt would make those taste better.

I don't have a knock on Slim Jims, but I prefer good jerky. Right now, it's Jack Link.
