Tough call-- crack the jokes it's begging for, or soberly sympathize with the victims' families?

The last few hot dogs I have eaten tasted like Slim Jims.

Having tasted a Slim Jim I think it's safe to say it wasn't an explosion of flavor.

Yeah, it was tough. But I've made my choice.

Macho Man reportedly uninjured.

Now that that is out of the way, that's a crappy way to go.

One of my favorites! Sad that had to happen. (Why can't we do both Bongo?)

maybe its commonplace in the food industry, but this sentence made my stomach turn:

"The ammonia is used to refrigerate meat before it's turned into Slim Jims."

i would not be surprised if they just threw the corpses into the machine that makes the slim jims. i dont think anyone would notice.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with the process of making Slim Jims and everything to do with the logistics of large scale refrigeration. Nearly all industrial sized refrigeration units use ammonia gas rather than say, freon as the coolant.

I had a 25 cent slim jim in the victim's honor today. It tasted like burnt roadkill.
