 |  | 2023's latest innovation space for foods what taste like other foods is Jack Link deciding to team up with fellow Frito-Lay stablemates...umm, Frito-Lay...to bring you new exciting tastes in dried meat. These have actually been around for months and more than one of you has been after me thinking this is something I'd be interested in, and you're right, but it took some intense messages from cousin Adam to finally get me to pay real cash to pick them up.
First, on the right, Jack Link's Flamin' Hot beef jerky. This annoys me right off the bat because Flaimin' Hot WHAT? Flamin' Hot Mtn Dew? Well, all that this is is another way to say "only kinda spicy." I don't even think the heat rose to the level of flamin' in any way. Maybe Minnesota spicy?
The Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos beef jerky, on the other hand, were complicated and delicious, just like your favourite purple baggéd Doritos. I'd definitely spring for them again.
One thing I didn't notice on these bags is that you're supposed to refrigerate them after opening. I always find it hard to believe one doesn't just eat the entire bag all at once...these're pretty small as far as serving size. Also, they're so heavily dried and preserved I have to think that's some lawyer talking.
These are also available as meat sticks! I bought them, too, but haven't cracked them open yet. |

 | Hey hi! It's Saturday so that means time for your ol' radio pal CRZ to hit the studio - only THIS week I have pre-taped so I can GUARANTEE it's a pretty cool show ahead of time. New new music and your requests from 5 to 7 on Fresh Air! Don't let the fact that I'm not pushing buttons live keep you away - in fact, it might be an encouragement! 90.3 on your radio and if you hear static you might be out of range so check us out at KFAI.org or get the KFAI Community Radio app from your Google Play/App Store of choice to check out mine and like a hundred other shows at any time via our archive! |

| 16.6.23 19:43 | |  | I actually ate these, like, three weeks ago - are they even still selling them? - but didn't get around to telling you about them until now because there's NOTHING here. I bought these and a bag of the Cubans (still unopened, coming soon) and knew these would be the "worse" ones. The thing is, they should taste great! How can you mess up BLT? Well, these chips have somehow manage to take all of the elements of BLT and choose as the spotlighted, highlighted, most forward flavour..... the bread. These chips tasted like nothin'! Pretty much complete failure as anything above and beyond plain. MAYBE salt....not even bacon. Don't think I'm underselling how underwhelming these tasted! |
