- [Producer] Do you know what you're here to do today?
- Jerk?
(Justine laughs)
Jerky.
We're gonna eat-eat, eat jerky!
- I hope!
(laughing)
(upbeat guitar music)
- We're here to have heart attacks, yeah.
So, it'll be jerky, yeah?
- What? - Jacqueline?
Jack Link?
- Jacqueline's Turkey? - Jack Link's Jerky.
- Jack Link's. - Jack Link's Jerky.
- I've actually, I don't think I've ever had jerky before.
- I'm the same.
- Yeah, I mean...
- I mean, I've heard of it.
- I know jerky.
I'm familiar with...
- The jerk. - The jerked meat.
But...
(upbeat guitar music)
- All right then, someone's hungry, huh?
- Meat snacks.
Beef strips, slow-cooked, hardwood smoked.
- This looks like a bag of
amber leaf or something, doesn't it?
It does have a very tobacco-esque...
- It truly does.
- Oh, that smells fucking good.
No, you don't think so?
- It smells like dog food.
- Yeah, it actually does.
It smells better than I expected.
- This looks like it's a chunk
out of someone's ear or something, though.
It's like "Reservoir Dogs".
- I mean, what if you're locked,
and you're eating these on a night, you pick up this one.
That's an accident waiting to happen.
- That's true.
That is true.
- That's a snack-cident right there.
- Ladies and gentlemen, pun-real.
- It's tasty. - Yeah.
- It's just, I find jerky's a lot of work.
- Thought it would be chewier.
It's not chewy, it's easy to eat.
- Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah!
- This is my first time ever eating jerky.
- Oh. - I've never had jerky.
And I could get on board with this.
- Oh, yeah?
- Oh, well, jerk my meat, that's good.
(laughing)
- That's good jerky. - It's great.
I have no reference point,
because I've never eaten jerky before, really.
- Why have I not been eating jerky all my life?
- This is actually, I'm upset.
I'm upset with myself. - I really am upset.
I honest to God think this could replace crisps.
- I think this could replace
most of the relationships in my life.
- Absolutely, yeah.
- I think it's better than Jeff's Jerky.
Jack's Jerky is better than Jeff's Jerky.
- Even Blaw will like this.
Even Blaw.
- Tasty, though.
- And healthy.
It's 6% fat-free.
- I don't think that either of us
are gonna be coming out of this shoot
being like, "I had a healthy day today."
- If Blaw doesn't like them...
- He'll eat her jerky.
Oh, no, that doesn't sound good at all.
- What did you think that was gonna sound like?
(upbeat guitar music)
- Signature Recipe Protein.
- They just changed the color of the packet
and made it slightly smaller.
- From 7-Eleven?
Why is the fancy one from...
- It looks like it, yeah. - That's 7-Eleven, right?
That's 7-Eleven.
- It says exclusive flavor,
but it doesn't identify what the flavor is.
What differentiates this from the last one?
- It's purple flavor. - Yes. (laughs)
- Does it smell?
Does it smell purpler?
- I know what you mean. - Right?
Do you know what I'm saying? - I do.
- The only thing I can describe this is purpler.
Purpley-er?
- Because I was gonna say it, and I was like,
"No, he'll think I'm stupid if I say that."
And I totally get it.
- Well, this is bland as fuck.
- It's not as beefy as the last one.
- Yeah, it's not, mm...
(coughing)
(Dermot laughs)
- Dermot's choking on meat.
- If you had braces, this would be literally
stuck all up in there.
You'll have to get a toothpick, pick it out.
- Normally I'd associate 7-Eleven with quality,
but this has really let me down.
(Blaithin laughs)
- It's chewier, but not as flavorsome
as the last one. - No, no flavor at all.
It's just like chewing cardboard.
- It could be rubber, who knows?
- This is a bag of notions.
That's what we're looking at right here.
It's absolutely, people just get into their head
ideas of, "We'll make it more purple,
we'll add more protein, they'll love it."
We don't.
- So, this is like a new state of matter, basically.
- Yeah, this is not food.
This is not food.
Okay?
- Listen, the jerky can be whatever the fuck it wants to be.
- Okay, but it's not food, though.
(upbeat guitar music)
- Ooh!
- Thick cut bacon.
- Hickory-smoked bacon.
- Thick cut hickory-smoked. - Hickory-smoked bacon.
(clapping)
- I do love me some hickory-smoked.
- I'm excited.
(Blaithin groans)
- If this isn't the best one,
then...
I had nothing coming after that.
(laughing)
- Strong words here from Dermot.
- This smells like the rashers
I had on me bagel this morning.
- Oh, it looks like rashers as well.
It looks like... - It just looks like dried.
- As in, this is the piece of bacon, and that's the fat.
- You don't like the fat?
- I don't like the fat.
- The fat's the good part!
- Mm.
- Mm. (laughs)
- Mm!
- I'd prefer for it to be saltier other than smoky,
but I don't, it is nice.
- This is delicious.
- I love this so much.
- It's so salty.
- You're right, though.
The flavor's in the fat. - In the fat!
- This is closer to actual bacon
than the last ones have been to actual meat.
- So much better. - This is beautiful.
- This just tastes like actual rashers.
- Mm-hmm. - Doesn't it?
- But I'm loving it.
(Blaithin laughs)
I've been converted to jerky.
- Yeah?
- I'm gonna become a jerky jerk.
Oh, just a real connoisseur of the jerky.
- I guess it's kind of like American streaky bacon.
- Yeah, that's what it's like.
Put that on your pancakes.
- Yeah.
Oh!
With maple syrup.
- Oh! - Jesus Christ, cut!
- I mean, it's not great, but it's still good.
I'd horse that whole bag in me.
- Dermot, you need to...
Don't settle for less than what you deserve.
- Oh, this is more than I deserve.
(Justine laughs)
(upbeat guitar music)
- Actually, will we do this blind,
and just see if we can guess the flavor?
- Sure, okay. - Yeah.
(Blaithin laughs)
- Bourbon, I knew there'd be bourbon,
'cause Americans have to put bourbon in everything.
(Dermot gasps)
- Bourbon!
- The brownest of the brown liquors, oh, yeah!
- This is a great shoot.
- This is gonna be marvelous.
- I am having a ball!
- This has to be it. - This has to be amazing.
This has to be amazing.
- This is so much better mouth feel-wise.
- Is it that hard?
- Yeah.
I'm not that good an actor.
- Oh!
Mm-mm!
- The second one was so rubbery and hard.
This is nice and I can actually chew it.
- I want to say this is a bourbon brown sugar flavor?
- Oh.
Okay.
I was gonna go with a barbecue, in jerky form.
- Will we have a look what it is?
- Mm-hmm. - All right.
I was right.
- You had your eyes open the whole time.
- Not the whole time.
- I trusted him.
- Mm.
There's a sweetness.
Oh, it's lovely.
Oh, yeah!
(laughing)
- I don't think it's as good as the hickory one.
- No, it's not, no.
It's more, it tastes more
like you've just actually bitten into the animal.
- I think it tastes like a cheaper mince,
or not mince, cheaper beef.
- [Man] This is beefy, so the last one was pig.
This is beef.
- That makes so much sense.
- Different animals entirely.
(laughing)
- How did we not get that?
- I did.
It's sitting on the front of the package!
- [Man] Wait, did you not...
(laughing)
- Oh, this is lovely.
- That's fucking delicious.
- Oh, my God!
- Yeah, yeah, oh, that's meat, yeah.
You can tell that that's meat.
- I was like, "Oh, this one tastes like crappy beef,
and the other one was great beef."
- "This beef tastes like the best bacon I've ever had."
(laughing)
- What is the recommended daily dosage of jerky?
- Zero.
- Oh, shit, okay.
- We're already 200% in.
- Oh, my God, this is delicious.
Oh!
- Nicer than the second one, not as nice as the first one.
definitely not as nice as the bacon.
- Definitely not as nice as the first one.
- What's the perfect setting for this?
Wedding?
(laughing)
(upbeat guitar music)
- There's no way it can get better than those two.
(Justine groans)
- Now, I hope it's spicy enough, I hate when-
- Ooh, she has a kick! - Has she?
- Oh, she does, by God!
- I can get that from here!
- From there, yeah, really?
- That's the shape and color,
and frankly, almost consistency of a brick.
- You put pineapple on that.
Be delicious.
This is delicious.
- It's not as good as the bourbon brown sugar one.
- It's like, oh, there it is.
Yep, oh, no, no, I'm getting it.
- Spicy, it's hitting all the right...
I have no idea what I'm talking about.
It's nice.
I like it, my descriptive words are gone.
- The meat isn't too tough, either.
- No. - So, it's nice to chew on.
- This is softer. - Yeah.
- I like it, because it feels
a little bit like you're having a veg with it.
(laughing)
- Well done, you, Jalapeno Beef Jerky,
because our expectations were low.
- You're jalapen-okay.
- Now, I do it, but we shouldn't be
eating meat in the first place,
so to kind of just assault it more
before it gets to your mouth, no.
- Did you just say salt it more,
or assault it more? - I said assault.
- This is nice.
You know, it's not 7-Eleven, this one.
I think that's the hallmark of quality there,
when 7-Eleven is not on your product.
- This is supposed to be between three people,
or last one person three days.
Get fucked.
It'll be gone in about three minutes, lads.
- I had the best day ever, eating jerky there.
- That was a jerky journey.
- It really was.
- You brought us on a beef journey.
(laughing)
- It's like a Saturday night for me.
(laughing)
- The jerky was great.
I'm converted to jerky.
- Jack Link's Jerky, that's the best jerky I've ever had.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you.
- No, you right there, you know who you are.
You, you.
I've just realized they got them from America.
They're not available here.
Oh, God!
I just, we can't get these after this shoot!
- What have we done? - Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, God, no! (sobs)
- Thanks for watching the video.
If you liked watching us eating loads of jerky
and being generally amazing people.
We were amazing, right? - Or jerks.
No, I think we were jerks. - Jerks.
If you like us being jerks,
click on bells and subscribe things and icons,
they're all around here,
and there's merchandise and there's all sorts of things.
- There's loads of stuff.
