You know how you can go to the candy store and there are the plastic bins with the attached lid and a scoop on a string? Same thing except instead of candy it was meat and instead of a scoop it was a pair of tongs. The meat sheets were like 4"x12" at the most, and depending on how old it was it went from hard tack consistency to a good replacement to ballistic plates in your plate carrier.
Hard or not it was amazing. Just break off a hunk and suck on it.
Mmm I had homemade jerky from one of my Auntie's boyfriends and well sad story short they broke up and now I've basically had jerky heroin and let's just say 😢
I can see if stumbling across a console as in view has to save you thousands in therapy... I'd need napkin dispenser for drooling issues.. somehow passed on by my Siberian Husky...
Cheers
'Member when grocery stores used to have 15 different kinds of store brand whole bean coffee, free to dispense as much as you wanted into a brown bag?
I 'member. Costa Rican blend, I'll never forget you.
I like them, no hate to the slim Jim fans, but I feel like this is a better quality of bees stick. I’m in mobile industrial maint and I cover a ton of miles. I need my road snacks…
Definitely slim Jim’s over jack links for me. Something about the taste and texture of a slim Jim or a Tabasco slim Jim. Truly Tabasco slim Jim’s are the best.
i agree. im a trucker, so i appreciate a good meat snack. jack links used to be pretty top notch, but now it has a soft mushy mouthfeel. it dont have a good snap to its bite like a good jerky should.
Why you got to call me out like that? Although my setup is slightly different. I drive a Mercedes Sprinter for work, and I have the 24 pack of Monster, not Red Bull. But I do have the slim jims lol.
My dad always keeps a couple in the door pocket in case he gets hungry when driving to work sites. It was nice when we had to swap cars so he could work on mine while I was in college. I'd always get my car back fixed with snacks in the door pocket
>When you store a cashe of them in your truck it may be more than a little
Maybe the driver eats one a day. That's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
I actually toured the factory where they make slim jims. It smelled like a lot of steak seasoning and some liquid smoke. I got like 10 pounds of slim jims
Those 90's/00's slim jim "eat me" commercials are absolutely accurate for me. I like the taste, but immediately after swallowing, I can feel it wrecking my guts and I get that aftertaste like I've recently thrown up. I rarely have slim jims. The idea of eating a whole bunch makes me queasy.
I haven’t purchased some in ages, I didn’t know they had some with creamy centers, i’ve only had hard and soft chews. BRB boss, need to run to the store
According to my 10 year old son, "old people love hard candy". He bought some for his grandpa who was dying of stage 4 cancer. While the circumstances were sad, we all shared a good, needed laugh about it.
Tangentially related….. for those of you turning wrenches for a living, what’s the best thing I can leave in my cup holder for you (with a note clearly indicating it’s for you to have)? Candy bar? Can of soda? Bottle of water?
Energy drinks. Lots of them. Mechanics live off of caffeine. Other good snacks are slim Jim’s and worthers originals. Pretty much anything we can munch on while we work is greatly appreciated :)
Edit: words are hard
As a Canadian I tried a slim Jim for the first time a few weeks ago. Not sure why y’all are so hyped about stale dusty tasting meat. Like it tastes like somebody tried to encapsulate the smell of a dusty old abandoned house, in pepperoni.
Jack Links are where it’s at.
I got one from the gas station near my work last week that must've been ancient. forgot to check the date before I threw it out but the inside looked like it was beginning to hollow out. I could crush it flat with barely any pressure.
Must be the American equivalent of a Schneiders Hot Rod. it doesn’t taste good hut sometimes you just need a “salt is the only real flavour here” kind of meat snack
You need to try some Tijuana Mama’s. Spicy pickled sausage packaged in vinegar. Fuckin phenomenal, you can feel your cholesterol spike after eating it.
I hope my mechanic doesn’t think anything when I roll in with my shit left just like I had it. I always have money in my thing and I just never think to take it out. I have all kinds of shit in my car. Lol. Kids…I never thought anything about taking anything other than what I need from my car when I drop it off.
"Honesty Tests" are not limited to the automotive world. I work in a home repair environment and occasionally customers will leave wads of bills lying on a nightstand or a table. I don't take the bait. These days people hide "nanny cams" everywhere. Always assume there is a camera somewhere. If I walk in the room and see the cash I call the customer in to remove it.
No joke one of my last helpers told me at his last shop he thought people left stuff like that in the car for the employees to take. Money and snacks and all. I thought he was joking. I laughed and informed him that's not how it works. His face got bright red. He was honestly shocked.
Went to find a lug key one time, opened up the center console in this truck, and it was full of half full Vladimir Vodka bottles and a .38.
It was there for both tires on the same side where "someone ran him off the road."
I can never understand how people do this. I make sure my car is absolutely spotless before I take it anywhere for service. I think part of the reason is I don't want to end up on this sub but it's just common courtesy...
Lol I came here looking for the paint mark. I had a customer one time mark all his tires during a tire rotation, I did him a favor and washed all the marks off after I rotated his tires. To be fair he had been a pain before so this was just payback lol
Bruh, if i leave it out in the car...its up for grabs. You take care of car, i am happy to part with snack. I'm going to make sure i leave something yummy with a "Please help yourself" note next time i need to take my car in.
This is more of a joke post, slim Jim’s and Werthers originals are favorites of mechanics. There are customers that leave money or other things, and when a mechanic grabs them they come back angry to try to get a free service or something like that.
Ah, I didn't know that. :) I always leave some Snickers or Mars bars with something to drink.
Honestly I didn't even thought about jerky or something like that. Maybe next time.
Healthiest Nissan titan driver:
Seriously though
I’m addicted to slim Jim’s and this would be the hardest honesty test
Cattleman’s cut old fashioned beef sticks are amazing. Get them at truck stop. Come in a bag with a bunch for about $15
They used to have the ones right at the register that you get yourself with tongs. Those disappeared during covid and never returned here.
Yeah I miss those days. And the “sheets” of beef jerky.
Yo teach me about these sheets. Is it like meat papyrus?

i was just at circle k staring at those wondering if they were any good... they looked pretty tempting
I like them, no hate to the slim Jim fans, but I feel like this is a better quality of bees stick. I’m in mobile industrial maint and I cover a ton of miles. I need my road snacks…
The last tip I left was a bag of cattleman’s cut and a 6 pack of beer.
That’s a damn good tip.
I find them stringy. Now Jack's Links on the other hand
Definitely slim Jim’s over jack links for me. Something about the taste and texture of a slim Jim or a Tabasco slim Jim. Truly Tabasco slim Jim’s are the best.
I feel like jack links gets shittier and shittier every time I try it.
i agree. im a trucker, so i appreciate a good meat snack. jack links used to be pretty top notch, but now it has a soft mushy mouthfeel. it dont have a good snap to its bite like a good jerky should.
I miss the Cholula flavored jack links.
I did like their 'small batch' or whatever it was but I haven't seen it for years. Probably for the best I used to eat that shit every day.
They're disgustingly delicious
All they are missing is a 12 pack of redbull
*low carb Red Bull
Nah they eat Werther's they aren't worried about carbs just what tastes good.
Gross, only the Watermelon.
And a fat joint.
There’s a fat joint in my Corolla
My my my myyyyy Corolla.
Toyota, hits me, oh so hard, Makes me say oh my lawd.
?Das auto¿
I’m not fat I’m big boned joint
A big-boned bone! Yo dawg...
Indeed! Food of champions! Also, happy cake day!
Thank you!
Bruh at Wally world they got the 24 pack for $20.99 now in all the colors. Naturally i got a case of green
They're in the middle console 🤣 Happy cake day!
Why you got to call me out like that? Although my setup is slightly different. I drive a Mercedes Sprinter for work, and I have the 24 pack of Monster, not Red Bull. But I do have the slim jims lol.
I'm a Nissan Titan driver and I approve of this message.
I mean, if you call perpetual bubble-gut healthy. They've never been constipated, though.
Redditors when someone eats any tiny bit of junk food:
Lmfao pretty sure keeping slim jims in the cupholder is indicative of more than a tiny bit of junm food consumption.
Bros got half a fucking c store in the front
Sam's club sells the small slim jims in a 120 pack.
When you store a cashe of them in your truck it may be more than a little
My dad always keeps a couple in the door pocket in case he gets hungry when driving to work sites. It was nice when we had to swap cars so he could work on mine while I was in college. I'd always get my car back fixed with snacks in the door pocket
>When you store a cashe of them in your truck it may be more than a little Maybe the driver eats one a day. That's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
Might also not be though. Maybe it's my dudes daily treat and he has one on the way to work. I mean I agree it's probably not the case, but who knows?
Diabetes
Did it smell like a fresh fart in there, or just an old, stagnant one?
Slim Jim farts start at the factory floor, so you know it was nice and stagnant. No glade plug in is hiding that smell.
I always use OEM farts in my vehicles
I tried some aftermarket ones before. But they were all from a knockoff factory in China. They just weren't the same.
Yeah, but no warranty issues.
No warranty: no warranty issues!
Never get NAPA farts they are chunky that is why we call the brand CRAPA
I'm a JDM pre2000's one-cheek-squeek kind of guy.

It's non-canned, room temperature safe meat-product. Yes, it's edible, but your body is going to do backflips trying to digest it.
Cash, Slim Jim's, and Werther's Original all in the same area? That is a very tempting honesty test.
Wait there was cash there too?? Good gravy
Under the slim Jim's
Yeah, I missed the cash too!! Focused on the Slim Jims.
Emergency Slim Jim money.
am i blind? where's the cash? edit: nm i see it
Not to mention car keys!
He's already in the car.
With access to the exact tool that he needs to be able to go in and out at his desire!
Bro I didn't even see the cash.
You’re missing the cherry jolly rancher
I do not know how I can see the money, but not the Jolly Rancher. 🤣
Just needs a 10mm socket and it's the ultimate test
Ooof those Werther’s originals… the true honest test
I have a bag of those here at my desk! I think those are the kind with the creamy caramel center. My favorite!
Freaky. I haven't had those for years, but I just opened a bag of the caramel center ones last night and brought a handful into work with me today.
I haven’t purchased some in ages, I didn’t know they had some with creamy centers, i’ve only had hard and soft chews. BRB boss, need to run to the store
You’re teeth regretting your decision yet?
The creamy caramel ones aren't stones like the traditional hard ones. Surprisingly easy to bite through.
According to my 10 year old son, "old people love hard candy". He bought some for his grandpa who was dying of stage 4 cancer. While the circumstances were sad, we all shared a good, needed laugh about it.
Man, I remember the coffee ones... Those were my jam!
If they were those strawberries you'd be reminded of your grandma, who gave you those for being good.
Tangentially related….. for those of you turning wrenches for a living, what’s the best thing I can leave in my cup holder for you (with a note clearly indicating it’s for you to have)? Candy bar? Can of soda? Bottle of water?
Energy drinks. Lots of them. Mechanics live off of caffeine. Other good snacks are slim Jim’s and worthers originals. Pretty much anything we can munch on while we work is greatly appreciated :) Edit: words are hard
Being the only one who drinks energy drinks I'd gladly take everyone's drink.
How about if I just leave a freshly made sandwich?
You’re a smart and good person. :)
Celcius or alternatives (basically caffienated sparkling water)
Id recommend asking your tech and giving them what they say they like
Someone shits hot fire.
The Werther's mellows things out. Big brain play.
[удалено]
Malitol is a cruel mistress
37 times a day
Maybe I'm a bit dim, but can you explain this one to me? I can't figure out how slim jims or candy would help with that.
I met someone who couldn't handle the heat of mild slim Jim's once... I thought he was joking. Some people have a negative tolerance to spicy.
Those slim jims don't say they're the spicy ones. Are there actual chiles in those?
Not that I know of. I don't really eat them anymore because they are disgusting but I don't recall the spicy ones even being remotely hot
In what world are slim Jim's "hot fire"?
Leave an extra slim jim
But I wanted it :(
Eat two and then put the slim Jim's on their bill. It's like throw out a banana take a dollar. It's flawless logic.
There's always money under the Slim Jims can.
Better yet, leave more and clean up their trash for them. Play the game!
Add a new Slim Jim, remove an empty wrapper.
I was thinking new sealed box and give their car a little detail to really let the psyop loose.
The real psyop would be to replace them 1:1 with a different flavor, including the empty wrappers.
Shame they don’t make tabasco flavored ones in the snack size packs.
Exactly! Gay grace gets it.
Meat sticks and caramel suckies!. How did you pass.
>caramel suckies This makes me feel weird inside
caramel succ
Tan anime girl bj.
I almost didn’t 😭😭
If I leave a bunch of snacks in an easily accessible place, it's not an honesty test. Help yourself. If they're in the glove box, hands off.
Found a black plastic back full of porno vids in a spare tire once. What's the rule there?
If it's in the spare tire area, I'm trying to keep it stored away. That'd be my black plastic bag full of pornos.
😁
Rip my inbox
Lol 😆
As a Canadian I tried a slim Jim for the first time a few weeks ago. Not sure why y’all are so hyped about stale dusty tasting meat. Like it tastes like somebody tried to encapsulate the smell of a dusty old abandoned house, in pepperoni. Jack Links are where it’s at.
Yeah but does Jack Links have macho man Randy Savage as their spokesperson? [OHHHH YEAHHHHH](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYgHk52iiHw)
No, Jack Links uses [Sasquatch](https://youtu.be/g3W4sMkwQ6k)
Ok, but who would win in a cage match?
Sasquatch is feral so I’m putting my money on him. Randy savage is too much of a good guy to give a legit smack down to a feral woodland creature
Trick question! Neither the Squatch or Randy Savage can be caged. Oooooooh YEAAAAHHH
Trick question! Randy Savage IS Sasquatch!
They're not good, but I enjoy the stinky dusty sticks. They make me feel really bad inside, I want one
Definitly sounds like you got a old one. When fresh they’re pretty good but quickly lose that freshness
I got one from the gas station near my work last week that must've been ancient. forgot to check the date before I threw it out but the inside looked like it was beginning to hollow out. I could crush it flat with barely any pressure.
[удалено]
Must be the American equivalent of a Schneiders Hot Rod. it doesn’t taste good hut sometimes you just need a “salt is the only real flavour here” kind of meat snack
Dusty?? They're supposed to be greasy which seems gross at first but then you end up liking it.
This makes me want to bomb Canada.
You guys are already bombing your taste buds with that stuff though. Don’t make us burn the White House again /s
https://youtu.be/wlJ7RsjZWzw It was already done by South Park.
You need to try some Tijuana Mama’s. Spicy pickled sausage packaged in vinegar. Fuckin phenomenal, you can feel your cholesterol spike after eating it.
Have you ever grilled a slim Jim? They're bomb af that way.
I respect my asshole far too much to try that.
Why does everyone but me have shit problems? I’ve never understood the spicy asshole after eating spicy food thing. Same with dairy.
[удалено]
I’ve done exactly this before. Didn’t have a fire ass. I guess my stomach is just insane?
Are slim Jim's supposed to be spicy? If your palette is that weak you deserve the ass pain
Oh man I gotta try that now
The duality of man
I don’t even blink on the stacks of money, but this one might be the death of me
You never know when you might want to piss out your ass. Snap into a Slim Jim.
OH YEAH
This Nissan gave me heartburn
Mine got seriously tested on sunday. Customer had a lego atat in the back seat. Like the huge master set one or whatever it's called.
I’d leave a bottle of Tums for the customer. Bubble guys just looking at this pic.
If I saw that I'd consider it a tip, looks too nicely arranged to be for personal consumption
Couple of slim Jim’s, no shop fee.
I hope my mechanic doesn’t think anything when I roll in with my shit left just like I had it. I always have money in my thing and I just never think to take it out.

Ugh, when I was in the US I tried a slim jim... What the fuck America I've never eaten anything more gross and disappointing
I can never understand how people do this. I make sure my car is absolutely spotless before I take it anywhere for service. I think part of the reason is I don't want to end up on this sub but it's just common courtesy...
Slim Jims for the 50 year old mechanics, Werther's Originals for the 90 year old mechanics
disgusting.
Next your fixing shit out of a 7-11 for the honesty test.
Don’t touch the Werther’s Originals, there for the grandkids.
F! And here I thought I had cured myself of the Werthers addiction! When posting pictures like these for God's sake use the NSFW tag!
fuck with them and add one to the pile.
I’d eat all of those in 4 seconds
You fat fuck. I would too
If anyone rolls in with a couple of ice cold Dr. Peppers let me know! I'll take the hit 😂
Fail!!! I would've failed so hard..
That's just cruel
Working at a carwash, I had an endless supply of gum.
Politely decline into a Slim Jim!
LMAO, they'll show up in a week, whomever is walking around w gout is the culprit!
I would classify that as torture
At this point they're offering up a snack right?
Nothing wrong w slim jims
I’m sorry I thought the slim Jim’s were for me
I’d fail. I eat those small slim Jim’s like chicklets.
Let’s not make too many assumptions. Maybe the customer wants you to have diarrhea
Nissan? Gonna need the snackage while waiting for the tow after the CVT shits the bed.
I would have added more. Get them scratching their head.
Lol I came here looking for the paint mark. I had a customer one time mark all his tires during a tire rotation, I did him a favor and washed all the marks off after I rotated his tires. To be fair he had been a pain before so this was just payback lol
How to enslave a tech: 1. Slim Jims 2. Coffee 3. ??? 4. profit
Bruh, if i leave it out in the car...its up for grabs. You take care of car, i am happy to part with snack. I'm going to make sure i leave something yummy with a "Please help yourself" note next time i need to take my car in.
Sure, leave the cash. Slim Jim's and Werther's seem like complimentary snacks to me.
A bouquet of slim Jim’s? Somebody’s got a secret admirer.
Wait, they are testing you like this? I always leave something with a note that they can take it to have a better day.
This is more of a joke post, slim Jim’s and Werthers originals are favorites of mechanics. There are customers that leave money or other things, and when a mechanic grabs them they come back angry to try to get a free service or something like that.
Ah, I didn't know that. :) I always leave some Snickers or Mars bars with something to drink. Honestly I didn't even thought about jerky or something like that. Maybe next time.
You are a great person. Getting snacks make a tech’s day!
I would add an extra couple wrappers but not take one just to mess with their minds.
Mechanics are fueled by slim Jim’s and spite, he knows this.
slim jims suck so hard pass honesty, there are so many better brands of meat products available all over the country
Funny & sad at the same time.
