    I’ve never heard anyone called Old Trapper “the best jerky on the market” before

    Starting to think r/spicy is being swamped with sneaky ads by marketing teams.

    It’s good, but far from the best. Have you tried Archer Mango habanero?

  4. Lucid-Machine

    From a gas station on a road trip, sure. The alternative around me is jack links and slim Jim’s

    I have to admit, it’s easily my favorite brand and it’s a bit cheaper than a lot of other brands. At least it is locally.

  6. If you live in Ohio, Uncle Mike’s Spicy hot is the gold standard in my humble opinion.

    I like to mix this, smoked almonds, wasabi peas, and gardettos for a “trail mix”

    As far as mass produced stuff with value to taste in the equation, there’s a strong argument for this to be A tier but I don’t know about the best. Archer is competitively at Costco and I’d say arguably better

    Pretty decent for mass produced. I’ve been loving bakke brothers pack of pain jerky off Amazon. Has a bag of reaper, scorpion and ghost.

    I agree that it’s very good. I’m not enough of a snob for most on this sub, I guess 🤣

    I agree, but I actually prefer the peppered version over this one. This isn’t as moist and tender as Jack Link’s, but I kind of enjoy that. I don’t have the urge to swallow it immediately, I just chew on it for a while

    You, dear friend, need to branch out and venture forth.

    This is my favorite store brand too. I gave some to my roommate from India and he gives me a look like “your whole country is a joke. This is not spicy” and he’s right, but they’re good

    Ugh, hard disagree, the texture is awful.

    Vacadillos has reaper and scorpion flavors that actually pack a decent kick. Texture and flavor is top notch too. Used to order in bulk from their website but they’ve recently jacked up their prices an unabidable amount.
