Perky Jerky is Friggin’ Awesome

By Chris Stout on April 14th, 2010

Just awesome. Really, it is. And I’m not gonna lie, I had my doubts at first. I mean who the hell combines the quick-fix taste of beef jerky with Guarana, “a climbing plant in the maple family, Sapindaceae, native to the Amazon basin and especially common in Brazil” that “contains about twice the caffeine found in coffee beans?”

Well whatever, I thought. This Perky Jerky is worth a try. What’s the worst that could happen? I won’t be hungry or tired? That’s a risk that I was willing to take.

And the risk paid off. Big time. The first thing that surprised me about Perky Jerky is that it tasted good. Like better than good. It’s got this subtle pepper-teriyaki vibe that’s not too overpowering. You get teriyaki jerky from anywhere and it usually tastes like the bottom of a week old wok. You reach for your standard peppery jerky, and you’ll usually end up nursing a mouth-burn that’s worse than anything you get from a Sriracha sauce bottle.

But the Perky Jerky was different. Not too teriyaki, not too hot. Not too tough either, but not absolute squish. You have to use your teeth to eat the stuff, but you won’t lose any teeth in the process.

And then there’s the perky part. Some people like Red Bull and some people like espresso, but with Perky Jerky, you don’t even realize that you’re getting a boost. And you don’t crash hard after either. Much like the taste, Perky Jerky’s pick-me-up is not too overwhelming. It certainly won’t dilate your pupils like a heart attack-inducing 5-hour energy shot.

So you get the idea. The jerky part tastes good, the perky part is a bonus, and it’s a lot more mellow in the end than it sounds. If you want to push back hunger and/or sleepiness, grab a tasty silver package of Perky Jerky and try it out.
