re: How Slim Jims went from bar snack to backpacks—with a little help from Macho Man

I love Slim Jims. I've been eating them since the late 60's. If my dad wanted a beer on a hot day, we'd pop into the nearest bar and Slim Jims were the treat for me. Beer for him, Slim Jim for me. I remember popping into Bruning's way back when for this reason. Even back then, I was impressed with that magnificent bar they had.

Rat, I spent many childhood hours with my dad the same way. He got a Schlitz pony and a pickled egg, I got a Barq’s, a slim Jim and a bag of Lance cheese nips or a package of cheese crackers with peanut butter. If I was lucky, I got a quarter or a dime for the crank candy dispenser on the way out.
Those kind of bars are almost extinct now—they functioned kind of like English pubs—everyone was welcome during the day, but kids didn’t go there at night.
