Perky Jerky?
Well, I like beef jerky and I definitely like caffeine but I have never, even once, ever imagined combining the two. Why would anyone?
Turns out, Perky Jerky came about accidentally. Here is the story, taken directly from their website:
Our story, like most good stories, begins with two jerks in a ski lodge. After a long, hard night of energy-drink-cocktail-fueled libation, these jerks settled in while the winter storm raged outside. The next morning they awoke, loaded up their gear, and headed out to the mountain. Amongst this gear was an open bag of peppered beef jerky, which had, unfortunately been drenched in some of the energy drink that had been carelessly spilled the night before. On the first lift up, it made no difference: to these jerks, jerky was the only breakfast they needed, altered or not. Much to their delight, the jerky had retained it’s original flavor, but had been made more tender by the accident. What’s more, as they floated their way down the mountain through bottomless powder, they realized they’d been given an extra boost – the jerky had taken on some of the pep of the energy drink. On the next lift ride up, the greatest innovation in jerky since cracked pepper was born.
I suppose the old addage “couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried” applies here. Regardless, the lovechild of jerky and caffeine is rather exciting. I do believe I will have to order a bag…for work purposes of course!
Perky Jerky offers a tender, teriyaki-pepper flavor with a hint of Guarana (which has about twice the amount of caffeine than coffee beans) for some extra boost! Genius.
