NATIONAL SNACK STICK DAY

On September 23, National Snack Stick Day encourages you to pack your pockets, backpacks, and desk drawers with yummy snack sticks so you can celebrate!

#NationalSnackStickDay

Primarily made with beef or pork, snack sticks harken back to the days when families preserved quantities of beef, pork, and game. Full of family tradition, they made sausage through smoking and aging. Developed generation after generation, the recipes use premium ingredients and an abundance of love.

These little portions of smoked sausage are a convenient source of protein. Take several you with on a hike or toss one in your gym bag. Snack sticks satisfy mid-morning hunger pangs and are easily shared after school, after work or anytime. With a variety of flavorful choices, snack sticks please the whole family. From sweet to spicy and everything in between, this savory snack fits a busy lifestyle to perfection.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL SNACK STICK DAY

Kick back and chew on your favorite snack stick. Raise a toast to all those who set out to satisfy the taste buds of tradition. Bring extras to share with co-workers or classmates. It's not a celebration unless there's a crowd. You can also share your favorite combinations and recipes.
