Clam Jerky eh?

February 11th, 2009

I’m giving this a fair rating.

I have to credit the folks at Tengu for packing in a lot of clam flavor into this jerky, but that’s really all your getting here, aside from a strong salt flavor. I’m not sure Americans want to eat dried clam for the sake eating clam, however. At least I don’t. I’d be more interested in this if they could add some other taste interest, like hot sauce, or wasabi.

Still, for those folks who want lots of clam flavor, maybe this is your thing (or at least until supplies disappear from store shelves). For myself, this comes across as being rather tiring, and I’m losing interest fast.

You’ll definitely need to get some strong breath freshener afterwards.

Mr.Z Sweet and Hot

February 9th, 2009

“I’m giving this an average rating.

This sweet & hot variety from Mr. Z. is mostly a snackable jerky, providing some decent flavor, a good chewing texture, and some ease in eating. In trying to decide if it’s above average, I couldn’t find anything. It’s overall flavor is enjoyable, but still largely average.

While it does live up to being a sweet & hot variety, it doesn’t really punch that flavor out of the ballpark. It’s just moderately sweet, and maybe mild-medium in terms of being hot. You’re getting a low level of hot that 80% of the people in the world can tolerate. When I evaluate a sweet & hot variety, I want something so sweet that it brightens up my day, and then socks me in the gut with some burning hot flames. It just doesn’t do this.

And the overall flavor is not really that exciting. It’s just the moderate level sweet & hot, some saltiness, and traces of garlic and natural meat flavors. It’s rather plain, but still snackable.

Compared to Oberto, Jack Link’s, Bridgford, and other mass-market brands, it’s right on par. If Mr. Z. can keep its prices low, and stick with the 4oz package size, compared to the 3.5oz sizes the other brands are using, I think it’s poised to grab some market share.

My recommended beer pairing, a wheat beer or hefeweizen, I think will compliment this well.”

Eric Success Tips and Secrets

Why a Jerky Fundraiser will be a huge hit! (And how it to do it)

February 3rd, 2009

Top 5 reasons that a Jerky Fundraiser is better than a candy drive.

1. Jerky is a healthy snack that is low in calories, low in fat, and high in protein and taste!

2. Who are the people who are spending the money at your fundraiser?…PARENTS! They don’t want candy they just want to support the school. Both parents and kids love jerky and parents will be thrilled about a healthy way to support their school.

3. You don’t need to purchase bulk cases of jerky before you start. We have great order forms with a huge variety of delicious and fun products. Simply take your order forms around, send them back to us, and we will have the jerky shipped directly to your organization in just a few days.

4. You have the convenience of accepting Cash, Check, or Credit, we do all the processing, and you keep 50% of the profits!

5. Aren’t you tired of the same old candy or magazine drive every year. Why not do something fun and different and get people’s attention. Candy drives are a dime a dozen and people often times don’t even remember who they gave their money to. However, a jerky drive stands out and people will talk about it, which in turn raises awareness for you cause! In fact, they often come back for more jerky.
