About the Brand
A Word from Jack...
We’re a company from a town that you’ve likely never heard of with a jerky that you have. As a matter of fact, we’ve got the best-selling jerky in all of North America and the fastest growing in the world. Not bad for a family business based in Minong, Wisconsin, population 521. We’re smack dab in the middle of the great Northwoods – somewhere between "where the heck are we" and God’s country. It’s the kind of place where flannel’s good enough for Sunday, and coffee only comes one way--black. Around here, there is fresh clean air, lots of trees, good fishing and hunting. If we didn’t already live here, it would be a great place to get away from it all.

We’re smack dab in the middle of the great Northwoods – somewhere between "where the heck are we" and God’s country. It’s the kind of place where flannel’s good enough for Sunday, and coffee only comes one way--black. Around here, there is fresh clean air, lots of trees, good fishing and hunting. If we didn’t already live here, it would be a great place to get away from it all.
So, how did a guy from Minong start making beef jerky? Well, it came to me one day when my boys and I were headed out to the woods for an afternoon hunt. We stopped at a local store for snacks and bought some jerky out of the glass jar on the counter. Turned out to be about as tough as our hunting boots. It was clear to me that whoever made that tough jerky cut the meat the wrong way. You see, I know all about cutting beef, since my family’s been in the meat business since the 1890s.
Well, the boys and I went back home and found my great-grandfather’s original recipes. The paper was yellowed, but the recipes were as good as the day they were written. We decided to try our hand at making jerky the genuine, authentic way. It turned out even better than we could have hoped for.
It didn’t take long for us to decide to share our jerky with the rest of the folks in the area. We started selling our Jack Link’s Jerky out of the back of my truck from one mom-and-pop store to the next. Pretty soon, it was nearly impossible to keep up. Folks just couldn’t get enough of our jerky. So we geared up to make more. And more. And more. Instead of just sharing our jerky with folks around here, we started sharing it with the world--adding new flavors, new textures and new sizes. In fact, I like to think we changed the way people think about jerky. They’re just not willing to settle for jerky as tough as an old hunting boot anymore.
Even with all the changes over the years, the important things have stayed the same. We’re still making jerky from our own time-tested recipes--the kind of jerky my father, grandfather and great-grandfather would be proud to claim as their own. -- Jack Link

Good Stuff!,
By Ken M (Oxnard, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jack Link's X-Stick, Original, 0.5-Ounce X-Sticks (Pack of 50) (Grocery)
These are along the line of Slim Jims but have a milder, less spicy, taste. The X-Sticks also have a much better texture than Slim Jims, these things actually look like they are made of real meat, NOT the 'mystery meat - goat hair/cardboard' texture of the modern Slim Jim.
The X-Stick is 'not exactly' a health food snack. They have a fair amount of fat, a little over 5 grams (each stick, in this package, is 14 grams total mass). Sodium content is about 224 mg and, about 3.2 grams of protein and only 64 calories (about 47 calories from fat) per stick. What the X-Stick is, is a very satisfying snack. I sometimes have to miss a meal, due to my work. One or two of these take the hunger away and puts some energy back into me. I do try to limit my fat intake but do not feel guilty about snacking on these once in a while. Enjoy. Ken

Very Good Meat Snack - Highly Recommended,
By C. F. Hill "CFH" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jack Link's X-Stick, Original, 0.5-Ounce X-Sticks (Pack of 50) (Grocery)
Jack Link's "X-Stick Original" snack sticks are very good tasting and far less greasy than other "meat sticks" (like Slim Jim). These are great snacks for diabetics (like me) since they have a negligible amount of Net Carbs.
The Amazon "Product Features" incorrectly lists these as 160 Calories each, and neither the box or individual packaging list the Nutrition Facts, so I visited the Jack Links web site and found the following: Serving Size: .5 Oz (1 stick) Calories: 60 (45 from Fat) Total Fat: 5g (2g Saturated Fat) Cholesterol: 15mg Sodium: 220mg Total Carbohydrates: 0g Protein: 3g These do contain MSG, which can cause "gastric distress" in some people (like my dad). Overall, these are great as a snacks between meals and they are so much better than the competition. Highly Recommended! CFH

Very good better than...,
By H. Smith "Beautacentric" (A strange country of it's own w/in the US of A) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jack Link's X-Sticks (Grocery)
These are so much better than Slim Jim's they don't have that weird fur texture when you bite it; and as far as biting goes you can actually bite these without fighting with it. They taste good, but have that typical meat stick flavor. These are also MUCH easier to open than a Slim Jim. Packed well, arrived quickly and fresh.
