I enjoy a Slim Jim as much as the next man, but this is the first time I have seen the item hung one-up on an All Wire Pegboard Hook. It does seem to fit the retail planogram nicely, but are Slim Jim packages equipped with prepunched holes for hanging, or was this improvisation by the merchandising staff? CLICK thumbnail and see if you can tell … prepunched or store punched hole. *****
If ever there was a product designed for One-Hole (a.k.a. One-Lug) Hooks, it is a Slim Jim. If you know “Jim” personally, point him to posts like …
