Oh Snap! Slim Jim Custom Promotional Car ‘Fast Meat’ Stolen
The custom-designed Nissan Z used by protein snack brand Slim Jim, which fans called “Fast Meat,” has been stolen, according to a release from Slim Jim parent company Conagra Brands Inc. The company reports the car was on the way from one stop on tour in partnership with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) when it disappeared. The car was last seen in California, the release said.
The police are investigating, but the brand has also gone public with its loyal fan base to spread awareness of the stolen car. The car was popular with auto enthusiasts and fans for its custom features, such as a fiery exterior look, custom yellow leather interior, LED under-carriage lighting, as well as a Slim Jim dispenser in the glove box and exclusive holder in the car for those snacks for on-the-road snacking. All customizations were done by an iconic custom auto shop in Hollywood, Calif.
Slim Jim entered into a marketing partnership with WWE earlier this year, after having promoted its products heavily to the wrestling entertainment crowd in the 1990s, when wrestler “Macho Man” Randy Savage became iconic for commercials in which he told people, in his signature over-the-top, emphatic style: “Snap into a Slim Jim! Oh yeah!”
