Where's the beef jerky?

ConAgra, the maker of Slim Jim, hasn't produced any new inventory since an explosion destroyed the only plant in the country that made the beef jerky treat in early June. Three people died in the incident, which appears to have been caused by a gas leak.

2. OMG! I used to make
beef jerky - seriously! And frankly, I think it was the best beef jerky that I've ever tasted.

Maybe try your Farmer's Market - should be more like "home made". Good luck in your search!

6. They's sawsiges, Slim Jims.
They ain't the best sawsiges, but you can buy 'em where you get yer gas, so they's handy.
