These are the same product as the Bite-Size in the smaller blue bag except that they're longer links and vary in length.

The ingredient list is somewhat gross as it lists specific parts of the pig. If you can get past that, the taste is unmatched!

The Slim-Jim ingredient list was similarly disturbing to me as Slim-Jim has, as separate ingredients "chicken" and "mechanically-separated chicken." I don't understand why one or the other doesn't cover both.

After Oberto cocktail pepperoni, no other will do. It keeps well, and is a great low carb snack for the Atkins dieter. I also like the large 32 ounce bag Amazon has available.

Very tasty gourmet food. Easy to keep and store. Easy to prepare. Could be eaten as packed or warmed in microwave, toaster oven, frying pan or directly over flame or charcoal grille. Goes well with pasta and other spanish, italian or french dishes. Best with crackers and cheese, rice, or even eaten alone. Matches well with soda, beer, wine or any beverage for that matter. Perfect to take along during trips. They are so good, I panic whenever I run out of stock!

My son is in MCC in Washington State, he received these items, and so far, no complains.

I've been eating these since the early 80s. They are my favorite brand of all time. It seems they are getting impossible to find even from Oh Boy Oberta. My package arrived today and they are as fresh as the day from the factory...meaning well preserved and soft. I hope I can find more.

When we first bought these we tried to eat one and couldn't. Looked at the ingredients and found its mostly pig hearts. Taste is awful. Our dog however thinks they are great so we cut them up in small pieces and hide them around for him or forage out by smell. After about a week the contents of the bag start to mold. Since they are for the dog, we washed them off and then store in the fridge. Too bad we had hoped these would be good snacks for football parties etc. Not recommended for people food.

Oberto Cocktail Pep used to be so much better than this. I had been buying them direct from the Oberto online store for many years and I couldn't get enough. No matter what size I ordered they were always excellent.

However, in the past few years the quality of their cocktail pep has sure gone down. They used to be very tight and snappy when you would bite into them, the outer casing of each sausage was almost totally smooth because they were packed so tightly, and they had a superior spicy flavor.

Nowadays they are all soft and mushy with bland, often stale, flavor. I get the impression that they are cutting corners to save a buck by not stuffing each sausage casing as tightly as they once did. I believe this allows more air to permeate the meat and causes the bad flavor that many people are complaining about.

Every year or so I get to craving those old style cocktail pep that I loved so much and I order a package hoping that they will have changed. I keep thinking, maybe I just got a bad batch last time, but every time I am disappointed all over again.

This isn't the best tasting pepperoni, but it's acceptable, and you certainly get a lot of it for the money.

You can't find these bad boys in Kentucky, so i usually have my mom ship me a bag every now and then. Thank goodness you can buy these online.... now I don't have to talk to my mom as much!!!

I thought this was a great deal in the warehouse deals section, but it was pretty nasty and smelled like dog food when I opened each bag. Slim Jim is made of crap too but at least it tastes good.
