What a jerky thing to say.

woot off killer. let's get some chevre goin on up in here!

Only a penny less than the Krave website: http://www.kravejerky.com/sample-pack/sample-pack-all-5-flavors.

actually, it's quite good, it just depends what you're looking for. there were mixed reviews, but a lot of people were reviewing based on having only tried one of the five flavors, which vary wildly.

i posted a detailed review the last time it came up:

It was at least deemed to be a mediocre deal. At the Krave web site you can get the same thing, with free shipping at the same price, but you get to pick your own flavors.

No need to jump on this at all.

jerky.woot.com

I purchased this last woot-off on the main site. It's GOOD jerky, but overall I don't like it. Some of the flavors are so coated in sauce they are slimy and a huge mess to eat. Some of the flavors are so overpowered that they blow out and don't seem to taste like what they're supposed to (if that makes sense).

I like the jerky, but I was expecting something completely different than what I received.

Does jerky go well with wine?

how was the pork jerky?

There were definitely some good flavors - especially the Teriyaki Pork jerky. I never had Pork jerky before and it didn't seem overly moist like some of the other flavors. If they did a better job of absorbing the moisture after packaging, this would be a lot better. The flavors themselves were very interesting and if not for the moisture problems, I would be in for 3... Instead in for zero :'(

It's probably a good thing that this will be up for the next 10 hours. The last thing I need to do is buy more wine.

Got this during the launch event. I really can't recommend. The jerkies were a wet, slimy, mushy mess. Tons of cartilage. They were all loaded with sugar or other sweetening, which seemed totally unnecessary. On top of that, there were way too many additives and artificial colorings. All in all, some of the least impressive jerky I've ever had.

Dear Wine.Woot,

Please put up some better products than this in today's woot off. For one, I don't eat meat, and your lack of wine in this woot off has caused me to cheat on you on another wine site :0! If not for me, do it for the children!

Thank you,

Ryan

I bought this on a woot-off few weeks back. Biggest waste of money ever. This stuff is inedible...and i LOVE jerky

The pork jerky was HORRIBLE.

I bought it last time (2 orders actually, I love Jerky) and was disappointed. The jerky is dehydrated, and THEN the flavoring is added, making the jerky wet, sugary, and gooey. I would also think that this keeps it from lasting as long as traditional jerky. And while some people may like the creative flavors, I prefer the more classic flavors available for less money at the local store. I ate maybe 2 pieces of each (I had to at least give it a second chance) then trashed it.

This stuff is really good. I love the sweet, moist jerky of the pineapple orange and the tangy but spicy lime pepper the best! But, I still am slowly pacing myself on my last batch. So I really don't need to get another batch, especially when some of the other flavors are good but not as tempting to me.

The best option for this jerky is to go to their website and create an a la carte 5 pack for $25.

The best flavors were sweet chipotle, garlic chili pepper and teriyaki pork.

I wouldn't buy this stuff again.

I bought these last time they were on Woot. I tried all 5 flavors. I don't really regret my purchase, I can't resist trying out Jerky. But I will say I honestly think I like the generic store bought brands better than this stuff. The flavors were just a little to weird for me. I thought the Smoked Terriaky would be normal, but I found that one to be WAY too moist. Also, the bindings are really strong, resulting in making it hard to take just a little piece from the bag. For 5 bucks a bag though, you might as well try it, if you like jerky. I doubt I will ever buy these again though.

Honestly, it was my favorite. It isn't tough to chew, the flavor is subtle, but tasty, and it's not slimy to the touch.

Thank you, I thought the jerky seemed way to moist, I was afraid it was just me going crazy though. I figured it was just a sign of high quality Artisan jerky or some gristle, and that I just wasn't sophisticated enough to appreciate it. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone.

i came here to say that these things suck. i bought them when they first came out, they are sweet and horrible.

Voof. Fail. Bad deal on not a great product (HFCS in jerky, fer crissakes).

Please, more vino and cheese please. The new gf loved the Cypress Grove goat cheese. Got me in good

Hey, with all the glowing reviews...only 5 hours till sellout. And that number is going up, not down!

What everyone meant to say was this stuff is great and everyone should go in for 3!

I will be a turd in the punch bowl with this Jerky.

I love good soft jerky (which this was), but the flavors were really meh to bad.

The lime was nasty, the pineapple was nasty, the chili one was edible, the pork was edible, and i forgot what the last one was...

It was good quality, so if the flavors really speak to you go for it, but as a traditional jerky lover (even terriyaki, turkey, bbq, pork, whatever) I will not buy these again.

Err, yeah, uh. This stuff is really good. Everybody buy as much as you can quickly!

Haven't had my coffee yet. Load up Woot when I get to my desk and what do I see when I look at the thumbnail preview? Magic cards. I see what you're doing Woot marketing department...

side note about one of the common jerky sticks out on the market. check out the ingredients! the first thing listed is "Mechanically separated chicken"! Not sure if I really want to know what mechanically separated means nor do I want to know why a form of chicken is listed as the primary ingredient!

I bought this last time and I really liked it. Yes, it isn't the most healthy product, but personally I'm not eating beef jerky for my health.

The chili lime and pork were definitely the best, but I like the others, too.

I'm glad this came up. I've got some things to do today and was afraid I'd miss something good. Now, I have time to take care of those things while this gristle stalls the Woot off.

Mmm, nothing brings out the flavor like mechanical separation.

The pieces are sliced thicker than the reqular Jerky. The flavors were good but I would not purchase this brand again. Just did not feel like jerky.

I prefer my jerky fake and far cheaper... Go, Slim Jim. ^_^

Wow, I had to look up "mechanically separated chicken" after reading this and it is very creepy-looking stuff. http://www.fooducate.com/blog/2009/08/03/guess-whats-in-the-picture-foodlike-substance/
