Tasty Tuesday

Perky Jerky

This week for Tasty Tuesday we wanted to let you all know about the great jerky made by Perky Jerky.  This company started out completely by accident when two skiers unintentionally combined a package of peppered beef jerky with a can of energy drink.   You can read the whole story here, and we recommend you do as it is very entertaining. 

Now this is not your regular run of the mill jerky either.  Consider it jerky with a boost of energy (don't worry, they don't soak it in energy drinks...not anymore anyway)  The company uses Guarana to get the kick. 

Mommy in GA and Mommy in PA recently got a chance to sample some of the Ultra Premium Beef Jerky and some of the Ultra Premium Turkey Jerky and here is what we thought about it:

Mommy in GA says: This is too funny cause i read what mommy in pa said and we are the total opposite!!!  We really liked the turkey jerky but, my kids are smaller so the sweeter meat enticed them and well as for me i am a wimp and the beef was spicier!!!
We opened both packs while having friends over and the friends seemed to like both but, again the turkey seemed to be the winner!!!
We appreciate getting to taste these cause we love to try new things and share with yall what you will be spending your money on!!  The packaging and background for these guys are really cool too! Yall should definitely click on the links below to learn more. 

Mommy in PA says:  Well my hubby and my daughter are both huge jerky fans so we were super excited to get our samples in the mail.  It didn't take them but a minute to have a package open and all but gone.  I had to pry the bag away from them just to get a taste.  The first thing I noticed was the sweetness.  This was quite a bit sweeter than the beef jerky we are used to.  That didn't stop us from finishing the bag off and leave us wanting more.  We then opened the turkey jerky.  This was not our thing at all.  None of us could get past the turkey taste.  I mean it wasn't terrible but we all agreed it just wasn't for us. 

We took what jerky we had left with us down to my in-laws house for their 4th of July celebration.  I let some of his family members try the beef jerky first.  They all agreed that it was very good and I was really glad that I had left one bag back at my house because the rest of it was gone in just a few minutes.  The turkey jerky got mixed reviews.  Some people didn't like it but my brother-in-law reached in and grabbed a handful and shoved it in his mouth.  I didn't see the opened package again after that.
