The 1978 Slim Jim football discs were issued on the backs of Slim Jim packages with each package back containing two discs. There were six package colors (flavors): blue (mild), green (pizza), dark green (pepperoni), maroon (salami), orange (bacon), and red (spicy). The large display boxes originally contained 12 small packages and each large box featured one Slim Jim player disc. It is thought that all 70 discs appeared on at least one large box. The complete set consists of 35 connected pairs or 70 individual discs. The individual discs measure approximately 2 3/8" in diameter whereas the complete panel is 3" by 5 3/4". The discs themselves are either yellow, red or brown with black lettering. The same two players are always paired on a particular package.
