What's in a Slim Jim? Well, start with 'utility-grade' beef...

O-]op=po

Better finish yours before reading on, would be my advice.

On second thought, maybe you'd be better off not reading on.

But if you insist, well, then, on third thought: toss the rest of your lunch before you really toss it.

Above, page 32 of the new issue (September 2009) of Wired magazine, in which Patrick Di Justo investigates just what's inside the tasty little devils.

See, that's what you gotta love about Vienna sausages. The very first thing on the ingredient list is "mechanically separated chicken". Not "chicken", mind you, but "mechanically separated chicken". I keep imagining a buncha guys in butcher's whites standing around going, "I ain't touchin' that."

Yum.

'Course, I always have to wonder if there's any bulk packaging to those little pencil-eraser lookalikes available. If somebody wants to have them for a crowd, is the kitchen staff relegated to popping open lots of teeny-tiny cans?
