“Pretty good, if you ask me. It’s more the “summer sausage” style of meat stick versus the beefy mush of a Slim Jim (not hatin’, just sayin’). It looks like about the normal snack stick size of about 8 inches or so. And listen, I’m not gonna sit around and make the argument that this is a healthy snack, because it’s not exactly. But, for the relative world of snack sticks, it does seem like a healthier pick up than the ol’ gas station standby – less fat, less calories, less sodium.
And the taste doesn’t suffer much for it, depending on how much cracked pepper is in your stick. I’ve had two – the first one I sampled, there wasn’t a lot, so it seemed like an okay, not great, couple of bites. Stick No. 2 had much more pepper, which not only added a healthy amount of spice but kinda wakened the rest of the flavors too, like the salt and garlic. For a little satiety staying power, grab an apple or a cheese stick and some water – before consuming, I was pretty hungry, and this helped hold me over for a couple hours. Might be good to toss in a backpack for a light hiking trip.”
