“Meat candy” does not sound very enticing, at least not to me.

  • Put like at least 5 of them in a bag that is appropriately sized and appropriately priced and I’m all over this shit. Until then, this is the most worthless addition to the world of jerky I have seen and as a jerky lover I take personal offence. Then again, I get offended by lots of piss-poor jerky products.

      • I actually just found bacon jerky in the convenience store the other day. Like 15 pieces in a bag but I think it was something like $10. It was ok, definitely what I expected but nothing more. 340 calories for the whole bag. Didn’t bother checking the other nutrional stuff. 6.5/10.

      Are you familiar with this (very small) chain? We didn’t buy anything- none of us loved jerky enough to pay what they were asking for- but it was tempting. Kangaroo jerky? Camel jerky? Snapping turtle jerky? Very tempting.

      How many Americans would eat all 5 in one sitting, though? If you put 5 in one pouch, maybe you should paper-wrap each slice to slow people down. Or at least put a note on the label :

      110 calories per slice

      550 CALORIES IN PACKAGE.

      Or would that just normalize the concept of eating it all?

        If I cook a pack of bacon there is never any left, even when they were 500g and not this pathetic 375g where they probably include the packing in the weight

        Also am Canadian

      • I actually found a thing of bacon jerky in the convenience store I normally stop at for some Jack’s Links. I think the bag was like $10, but it was only 340 calories. Bought it out of curiosity, downed the whole thing and then fell asleep. It was pretty decent.

        • As I stated in another comment, I didn’t bother to check the nutritional information and didn’t really care at the time. I think it was Jack Link’s brand or similar, so you can look it up yourself, I might snatch the bag out of my office trash bin and check later, probably high in sodium and sugars or something.
