Now things are about to get even hotter as a new Spicy flavor joins the Savage collection that includes Original and the recently-released Mild. The classic combo of meat and cheese also has a bold new Slim Jim format with the debut of the Slim Jim Original 'n Cheese Big Boss. Real cheese is paired with the #1 selling SKU in all of meat snacks, the Slim Jim Original Giant stick, for an offering that delivers 13g of protein per pack. SRPs: $3.99 for the Slim Jim Savage Spicy and $3.49 for the Slim Jim Big Boss 'n Cheese.

• BiGS Sunflower Seeds: BiGS, the #1 flavored seed brand, is partnering with top pizza chain Little Caesars to bring their world-famous ExtraMostBestest Pepperoni Pizza to in-shell sunflower seeds.
