Being a sales rep, I travel around a fair bit. I’ve only recently discovered beef jerky. Every time I went to a petrol station (yeah I know, you Yanks call them gas stations) I saw these horrible looking dry pieces of meat in air vacuumed packs and almost dry reached every time I saw them.
The other day, I bit the bullet and actually bought a pack. I must have been delirious from all the driving and totally over Mentos and Crunchie bars. I hesitantly opened the pack, took a sniff and wondered why on earth I bought this stuff.
But in my travels, I got hungry and the only edible things was this dried out beef. So I jerked open the pack (pun intended) and cautiously placed a piece in my mouth. I eat my meat medium raw so to put a piece in my mouth hard as a bone was freaky!
But as my saliva mixed with the jerky, a metamorphic experience occurred and this hard jerky turned into soft meaty mush. And it was delicious! And I’m lead to believe, quite nutritious! Well at least after my sugar highs with Mentos and Crunchies!
So I became a fan and these days, I actually check out the jerky’s and pick and chose from among the different brands and flavours. So you can imagine the smile the following video’s brought to my face when I saw them on YouTube today.
Jack Links is a brand I have no idea about. But their adds on YouTube cracked me up. You guys in the US probably have seen these already, but me, as an Aussie, haven’t seen them before and I thought I would post them here to remind myself to have a laugh.
In this age of political correctness, these adds shine through with humour and wit. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
