Slim Jim Giant Smoked Snacks, Original, 0.97-Ounce Sticks (Pack of 24)
Adolph Levis sold pickles, relishes, sausages, and other popular snacks and condiments from his basement in Philadelphia during the Great Depression. But these foods just weren't the easy, spicy treat that bar patrons craved. Levis experimented with different ways to serve sausages, eventually experiencing a Snap moment of his own when he developed a cured beef sausage that would curb consumers' cravings. Printed on the jars the beef sticks were sold in was a little tuxedoed man, complete with top hat and cane. Levis named him "Slim Jim," and the now-famous spicy snack was born. Early advertisements for Slim Jim touted "the ready-to-eat spiced sausage treat" that was packed in cellophane and sold for a dime.Today, Slim Jim produces 533 million meat snacks a year, enough to circle the Earth 2.7 times. That's 21 million pounds of meat snacks annually.About ConAgraSlim Jim is a member of the ConAgra Foods family, one of the largest packaged foods companies in North America with major presence in retail outlets, foodservice and restaurants, and in ingredients.
