Slim Jim Honey BBQ

I literally found no difference whatsoever  between the Slim Jim Zesty Garlic and and the Slim Jim Honey BBC!
Uhh.. :-/
So please check my review for Zesty Garlic. Everything status the same except the name on the pack!

Slim Jim Zesty Garlic

One word. Oily!
Ugh.. Why?? It's basically minced beef wrapped in some kinda membrane. With a lot of oil.. And vinegar! Very strong smell and flavour. I didn't get the flavour of any Zesty Garlic! I couldn't eat more than 2-3 bites at one shot. It caused an irritation in my throat beyond that.
Although it's minced meat, it had a lot of gristle. It's supposed to be eaten on the go, but don't attempt it unless you're carrying tissue paper with you. You'll need both hands to tear open that long thing now and then, and you're hands are going to be all oily.
I'm not a fan, clearly

The extra half star in 'Overall' is for popularity. I don't know why this thing is so popular!

Pemmican Beef Jerky - Teriyaki

Pemmican Beef Jerky
Hand chunked & Formed
Teriyaki

From outside the packet the cuts didn't look like any beef jerky I've had till now.
I should've guessed from the text on the pack - "Hand chunked & Formed"
Smells good, not very strong as usual though.
First bite reaction - So soft! No need to tear. It's like biting grainy cheese. Yes it's a bit grainy. Because it seems like minced meat that's caked and cut.
Good Teriyaki flavour, no doubt. There's no pleasure of chewing on some great beef.
Must say there's absolutely no gristle.
The other product I've had that comes a bit close to this, is the Jack Links Steak Tender Bites. But that had quite some gristle.

Not very impressed with this product. This ain't real beef jerky. Or maybe it's an acquired taste!
