The good news is that no one has died of old age since March.

Completed many day long hikes fueled by Slim Jims.

95, 90, 25...it doesn’t matter. Would this poor soul still be alive if it weren’t for COVID-19? If so, it’s a COVID-19 death.

And Red China can go to hell.

Was he buried upright in a long piece of cellophane?

processed ground beef, chicken meat and other parts

Parts is parts.

I have to admit they are tasty parts.

I always carry some in my emergency bag.

“95! And the idiots blame COVID.”

Many years ago, obits would routinely list ‘old age’ as a cause of death.

I believe the ingredients list them as “mechanically-separated chicken parts”...gotta love that distinction!

“processed ground beef, chicken meat and other parts, along with a range of spices and chemicals”

They left out “Great Gobs of FAT.”

Oh, so, wrong ... but I laughed despite myself!

RIP -- however, I agree with others -- the new version is nowhere near the same as the old. Not the same "snap" and the weird but strangely satisfying "fattiness" (orange globules?) is gone.

I would do Keto, but I am a man who prefers the company of women.

You can’t open a car door with them newer ones either- just leaves a greasy smear down the window.

I never knew that - but they did taste different from when I was a kid

It's not just that the taste that's different, it's also the texture. With the soy additive, Slim Jims lost their snap plus you could detect a pleasing fattiness in them.
