At 143 yards – well past the length of a football field – and weighing in at nearly 70 pounds, the history-making Slim Jim is a fitting representation of the brand's bold, larger-than-life personality. While many in attendance today will share the tale of this behemoth Slim Jim with their grandchildren, the day was especially poignant for those team members who helped craft the Bunyanesque treat.
"The record-breaking Slim Jim is a testament to the creativity, expertise and dedication of our team," said Jess Sweley, Senior Vice President of Research & Development at Conagra Brands. "Our people bring innovation to life every day, and we wanted to find a unique way to celebrate their passion. This record-breaking Slim Jim was a true labor of love for our group."
The epic Slim Jim surged well past the former record holder, a 314-foot-long meat stick unveiled in 2023. Once the World Record was confirmed, Conagra Brands team members were invited to "Snap into a Slim Jim" like no other, taking celebratory bites of this history-making snack.
The task of beefing up a typical Slim Jim started in June 2025, with a team of 11 Conagra Brands employees who were charged with creating the record-breaking stick. Staying true to the iconic Slim Jim recipe, the group worked to ensure that this once-in-a-lifetime meat stick delivered the legendary snap that Slim Jim aficionados know and love.
"Slim Jim fans crave snacks that are big and bold," said Juan Amadaor, VP/GM for Slim Jim. "That attitude led us to create a Slim Jim stick that's bigger and bolder than anything the world has ever seen. We wish all the members of the Long Boi Gang could have joined us in Omaha today for a bite."
For a Slim Jim experience more suitable for everyday enjoyment, fans can get their own taste of big flavor with the new Slim Jim Cheese Mode™, the first-ever Slim Jim featuring real cheese inside every bite. Available in Cheddar and Cheddar & Jalapeño flavors, Cheese Mode brings together the legendary Slim Jim snap while delivering 10g of protein per stick.
