COVID or not, 95 is a good run. I’ve definitely enjoyed his products over the years, although some of the spin off flavors have been hit or miss. The tabasco slim jims are great. They made a Jamaican Jerk flavor for a while that was also pretty good. The honey barbecue flavor OTOH, could gag a maggot.

Getting shot in the head probably doesn’t help with longevity but I’ll concede that decision to Dr. Fauci.

When did Adams develop his recipe? I remember it used to be TERRIFIC but then when they added soy, it lost its original crispness plus that kind of delicious fatty taste. After the soy additive I pretty much stopped eating Slim Jims on a regular basis.

May he RIP.

Wish he'd made a more keto-pure version, but they'd do in snap.

"....died from complications of COVID-19. He was 95."

I'm guessing that at age 95, he might disagree with that assertion.

Point is: defeating this governmental invasiveness doesn’t required Herculean effort.

ABC News turns a story about a WW II veteran wounded in the head during the Battle of the Bulge who accomplished much following his service to his country into a story about the CORONA virus.

The CORONA map takes up as much space on the page as the news article.

I’m sure the author is very proud of their public service

Fell down the stairs and hit his head?
Massive aneurysm?
Heart attack?

“...but he had chynavirus too”

Sick of these fear porn propaganda postultating piece of poop articles.

Don’t even read their crap.

Wake up America!
99.99% risk free
HIGHER risk of dying by flu you dumbasses.

If you’re stupid enough that you still wear a mask, obeying big brother’s demands and live in fear, you’re blind enough to WILLINGLY stumble your way into the cattle car to be taken to “a remote location FOR YOUR SAFETY” as the Jews were told in Germany

It’s f’n propaganda
When will you wake up America?

My cat is seriously bummed about this. She’ll literally yank a mild Slim Jim out of my hand and eat the whole thing. Go figure. Last night she ate part of a Buffalo Bob’s beef and pheasant stick I was munching on.

The Slim Jim I remember originally snapped if you broke it off. Also there was a sort of tasty fatiness in it. Then they put in soy additive and it was never the same again.

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

The Left has to keep THE FEAR going, or more people might start actually thinking.

The COVID-19 lockdown destroyed President Trump’s roaring economy, emptied America’s streets to allow Antifa and BLM free reign, opened the door for vote-by-mail, and gave an obviously infirm Joe Biden an excuse to stay hidden in his basement.

In other words, the COVID-19 lockdown gave the Left everything they could have asked for in advance of the election.

I don’t think they want us rubes thinking too much about that.
