Aww, I love Jerky, but the ingredients don't work for me. All but one has corn syrup, and at least two have food coloring. I'm also sensitive to nitrates. So, sadly, it's a no go.

I assume it's just a coincidence that I saw *these* for sale today, huh Woot???

Had it, once, once!

In for one, wife loves jerky.

Yeah i was excited about this at first as well then i saw the flavors ehhh.... im more of a classic jerky flavor kinda wooter.

Had these. Kind of meh.
I like their pork jerky, but it is not part of this.

6 ounces? $25?.....pass

Good evening all -- these new flavors have no nitrates and no artificial flavors. While these flavors are a bit unconventional - they are totally moist and erupt with killer flavors.

5oz for $25??? That's perhaps the most expensive snack I've ever seen.

Compare $25 for 20oz (2-pack):

And for something that's neither organic nor hand-made... Hrm....

Forget food coloring, this meat has wheat in it! No go for us celiacs

Also, the mark of the beast!!!

heads up: the serving sizes are 1 oz, but each pack is 3.25 oz, totalling 16.25oz.

There are 5 bags with 3.25 oz per bag. Our jerky yield usually needs approximately 2.25 pounds of raw beef per one pound of jerky. We use a peeled knuckle cut of beef for our beef products and a turkey breast for our turkey (again both ALL NATURAL) - both cuts of meat maximize the tenderness of the finished product.

Thanks!

I don't know where you and the 6oz guys learned math at but:

5 (bags) * 3.25 (ounces per bag) = 16.25 ounces.

I think the price is fair but the Krave representative joining just to tame the posts is just awkward.

Edit: My slow connection =/ The other people beat me! =p

I would note that the meat quality is top notch. My gripe is with the flavors, just not for me. Others may disagree.

I hate to hate because i could eat a pound of the pork in one sitting (yummy), but not a fan of the rest, something just seemed weird about the rest.
The sweet goes better with pork and pork is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.
(What i'm saying is do a woot of just pork and I'm in for 3)

Sells for $10 more directly from Krave for the same 5 pack (kravejerky.com). It's impossible to find good nitrate and hormone free jerky for this price. In for 3.

is this wine.woot or jerky.woot?

We like snacks on occasion. Welcome!

Goodness no, we love it when our product reps drop in, especially at these late hours!

I like the fact they are here to offer support and answer questions. I have seen this done for other products here too and I feel that it only helps with buyer decisions. YMMV.

Hey! It's the Roomba of semi-fine foods! Thanks again wine.woot! I'm really hoping this isn't the ORIGINAL batch from way back yonder...

i bought these last woot and LOVE the chili lime glad to see it's included again along with some other interesting flavors!

I retract my statement, then! I guess I'm a horrible lurker!

Now that I think about it, it's pretty nice. Nonetheless, this might be my first woot... some jerky =p.

Nope - It's a new recipe with a new cut of beef. We are now USDA certified All-Natural - whereas before we were not.

I bought just to counter-act some of the earlier negative posts. Stange start to a non-wine woot offering. Thursdays are typically non-wines. People just need to relax.

Yo! ink paws: If you're not early, your late... good morning!

One last post before I decide on 2 or 3 - when should the expiration date be for these, in general?

I like to think that the enthusiastic folks are making sure they got in on the deal before commenting.

Technically, it's inching towards late on the west coast. Morning, evening, I'm not sure any more this week to be honest.

I love your positive spin to things. Will try to implement this strategy on a daily basis!

I'm amazed that so many of you are willing to drop $25 on a lb of flavored packaged jerky......and they say this is a bag economy

this is the best beef jerky ever made and packaged.... mouthgasm....

Our jerky has a 9 month shelf life - while most of the other store bought jerky (with nitrates) can carry a 1-2 year shelf life. Thanks!

LOL.... Math is apparently not a strong point for midnight Wooters. But still... $24 per lb for preserved meat is still rather high. Especially with all those questionable ingredients. Once I saw Alton Brown's method of making jerky with a box fan and A/C filters, I just can't justify the money.

Now I feel bad for being a bit... jerky.

Thanks! In for 3.

Thanks for bringing it out!! -- The ingredients listed on the page are incorrect. Please check out the ingredients on the website. Our new recipe has NO Artificial ingredients. Thanks...

You're right, it IS a bag economy:

Thank you for being on that and letting us know. I'll drop the necessary folks a note, but it might not get fixed til the morning.

I'm confused. The insider comments imply that this jerky has no nitrates/nitrites; however, the ingredients list "sodium nitrite cure".

Sorry that my first woot! post is short on praise, because I love me some woot!, but this deal is kinda blah, and may even be a little deceptive. You can't call something "All Natural" if it contains artificial colors and/or high fructose corn syrup.

EDIT: Never mind, it appears that woot! has the ingredients listed incorrectly. Interest piqued.
