Ahh.. Slim Jims. I remember the very first time I tried a Slim Jim. I must have been 3 or 4 years old. Dad was munching on one, so he offered me a bite. It looked like such an odd little food, so I had to know. I tried it, and it was so juicy and meaty!

Dad made sure to teach me "how to eat a slim jim". He said, "Don't chew it all up real quick. You have enjoy it." I followed Dad's advice, and from that day on, I was hooked! Every time we went to the gas station, I had to have a Slim Jim. Even to this day, I eat at least one Slim Jim a week, making sure to savor each bite, and not rush it along. I love Slim Jims, and the memories of my Dad that go along with it. ~ Sarah from Tennessee

A long time ago... Memories... When I was only 11 my family and I would go to Vermont every summer for 2 weeks. On the way up there was this little shop called Sally's snack shop. As soon as you walked in there was a very vast array of candy and other wonderful things.

 Among those wonderful things was something new to my eyes called "slim Jims" I had never heard of them at the time but they would soon become my favorite thing to eat of all time. I went back out to the car and unwrapped the Slim Jim and took my first bite. It was and still is the most flavorful delicious food I have ever tasted and still today at the age of 73. I still eat this tasteful treat daily. Thank you so much for your website and all the Wonderful foods on it. ~ Alexander from New Jersey

Slim Jims have been part of my "traveling food" since I was about 3 years old. We used to live in New York City and would take driving vacations to Miami or to Michigan. Whenever my mother would let me sit up front with my dad, we would stop at the next available store and buy Slim Jims and YooHoos (the chocolate drink). To this day, I'm 42 years old now, whenever I embark on a road trip - Slim Jims and YooHoo are a must-have! ~ Hilda from Florida

One of my favorite childhood memories is going to watch my Dad bowl every Thursday night. Dad would always give me two dollars, and I would go to the snack bar and always order the same thing. Two Slim Jims, a bag of BBQ potato chips, and a coke. I love Slim Jims. And the mix of the Slim Jim flavor, with the flavor of the BBQ potato chips, was my little heaven on earth. Oh, to be ten years old again, watching Dad bowl on a Thursday night. ~ Bruce from Texas
