Yeah definitely a first world problem lol but one I can get on board with. Like yeah jerky is great but there's so many other great snacks that you can get a fuck ton of for the same price
I'll be the first to say that jerky is so expensive because they dry it out, making it lose like 60% or so of the meat's mass. They take a lot out of it to make only a little, that's why. Edit: e
this isn't real jerky. I'm a butcher and i'll tell you all This is, is nitrate and filler-binder loaded trash. Buy top round cut real thing against the grain and marinate with w/e you want and smoke it or use a dehydrator. You can get a dehydrator for a decent price if you look aroubnd.
Im calling it right now, in a little while hes gonna announce that he's starting a beef jerky company, and that there's going to be an acceptable amount in jerky in each bag
Charlie is about to revolutionise the entire beef jerky industry by putting 100g more beef in each pack when compared to existing brands of beef jerky. The top brands will try and ignore the new Penguin Beef brand, but sales will dwindle and Penguin Beef stocks will rise in value every day until they can ignore Charlie's beef no longer. They will make press releases detailing their mistakes and plans to up the amount of beef in each pack. But by then it will be too late, and Penguin Beef will be well on the way to becoming the no.1 dried beef snack in the USA.
@@superchickenlips1 it's more about weight than anything. In making jerky you lose moisture, weight, and that's most of its cost. Weight is the enemy. You could sell higher moisture jerky like slim jim with relatively low loss in weight to flavour value or sell low moisture jerky with a longer shelf life and higher flavour value at a higher cost due to its lighter weight. Jerky is a balancing act and it's significantly more difficult than a smoked meat. Anyone who portrays jerky as a smoked meat is a fool. It's a dried meat and smoking is a different beast altogether.
I will say, I watched my parents run a little side business making jerky and it's more pricey to produce than you might imagine, especially if meat prices are out of control like during the pandemic. If you're going store bought though, at least get it at some place like Costco where it's much more reasonably portioned to the bag price, especially for the non-beef varieties.
I'm grossed out how much plastic waste comes from some of these food product. At least the jerky pieces are not individually wrapped. Some ready made salads are the worst. Plastic wrapped shit and you get nothing. You basically pay for plastic.
I always found the difference between meat and jerky prices to be astronomically high. You get something like 2x-4x the jerky per money if you make it yourself and it tastes better too. Associated costs don't seem make up for this difference. But I also mostly do my shopping for meats at the cheapest prices possible like Costco by default and never considered the more pricy options that some people are forced with. Red meats have gone up in price by crazy amounts. So I've been out of the jerky game for a few years now partially due to that.
A large part of meat’s weight comes from water/hydration in the meat. So jerky makers buy the meat at market price by weight, then immediately remove a large portion of the weight that they paid for by drying it. So the makers have to charge seemingly higher prices to make up for the money lost by dehydration. Add to that, good quality jerky is not a quick and easy process. I’m stilled bummed by the price of jerky, but I definitely understand it.
my friends used to go DeER hUntiNG and turned the meat into jerky. He would come to class with almost a pound, and charge people about $3 per handful. Youd still get more (about 9 pieces) for his sale of $3. I honor him to this day. Edit: changed venison hunting to deer hunting, since people are crying in the replies about a simple post for some reason. I'm still gonna post what I want to say, so either way I still don't care. Thanks for 500 likes ❤️
I work at a truck stop and every time a customer gets beef jerky I tell them " we gotta stop worrying about gas prices and start working on jerky prices" *Don't ask why I'm rewatching this 3yrs later*

I’ve been saying this about jerky since I was a teenager in 2010… so to hear someone say ‘your exposing big jerky right now’ In 2022 Kinda blows my mind … they charge that much because people PAY that much. If people realized they were getting ripped off they’d stop buying & jerky companies would be forced to make a change either in price or quantity you get in each bag or both. We, the consumers, create the companies & corporations that surround us. And we, the consumers, do not consume intelligently.

@@Mikey-ym6ok can confirm. Homemade jerky is the best. You can make it super thick and chewy, thin and crispy, any thickness or texture. I personally love a 1/4 inch thick chunk. Just enough chewyness to last, every piece is a flavor bomb

My grandma would always make home made jerky for me and my brother when we would visit. When it was fresh it was so soft and went down so easy, when it cooled it was thin little chewy slices of heaven, she used way too much seasoning for a normal person but it was the best damn jerky ever! Miss you Yaiya
i never realized this before but the cameraman was doing a really amazing job, the way he zoomed it and zoomed out and when charlie start to ask the other person's opinion the cameraman shift slowly to the other person instead of charlie.
Okay so when do we get the episode where Charlie makes his own jerky? My dad makes massive batches of jerky using a dehydrator that only costs like $60 since he was so sick of jerky prices, and he loves it. Make it happen!
We used to do the same but then he passed away We still have everything to make the jerky I just can't do it on my own it reminds me to much of the time we had together
I've been saying this for years too. Complete scam. You can make your own for so much less (or used to be able to). But they get away with it because not enough consumers catch on to these things. It's sad
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought about the bags being empty. And its not just Jerky and chips. Have you knowticed how pasta boxes are also barely filled?
Just like bags of chips where only around 1/3 of the bag is used. To me it just seems like a huge waste of resources and the only reason I can think of companies doing this is to make it looks like you're getting more product than you actually are.
@@australium7374 hell yea that shit bussin. I bought some for a road trip and ate the fuck out of it. Couldn’t even finish the bag before I got sick of jerky lol
The last time I ever bought jerky was about 3 years ago when I literally spent $20 on a bag and only received about 8 or 9 peices and some scraps. My disappointment was immeasurable, and my day was ruined.
Because of the necessary low fat and moisture content, jerky is high in protein. A 30 g (about 1 oz) portion of lean meat, for example, contains about 7 g of protein. By removing 15 g of water from the meat, the protein ratio is doubled to nearly 15 g of protein per 30 g portion. In some low moisture varieties, a 30 g serving will contain 21 g of protein, and only one g of fat. The price per unit weight of this type of jerky is higher than less-dried forms, as it takes 90 g of 99% lean meat to generate 30 g of jerky.
I’m glad that every Christmas my grandfather makes an entire bag of homemade beef jerky for free. If he didn’t, I’d have to rely on this and be bankrupt.
I wanna see tht so he realizes wht a decent size piece of beef turns into after drying it and making it jerky then he'll get the price, I googled it and beef is about 60% water and it takes 2.5lbs of raw beef to make a pound of jerky so ur getting a pretty decent deal if u ask me because if it's 4 ounces of jerky thts a 10 ounce piece of meat that you'd pay probably close to the same amount for, but they make it into jerky for u
What shocked me later in the jerky game was discovering how much sugar is in mainstream jerky. Even plain and spicy flavors. It’s like cutting cocaine with cheap stuff that people think tastes good.
@Piano Experience The world consumed 129.5 billion pounds of beef in 2016. Yes, “all that” is an apt way to describe the amount of beef the jerky industries uses ever year. Don’t get cute with me, Piano, or I’ll trim your pubic hairs into an off-brand but still pretty good Mona Lisa, declare it to the government as a rare artifact and have you strung up in a museum for all to see. They’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and I’ll be munching on some Jack Links.
I love how they are like “AYO THIS JERKY BUSSIN” and then seconds after they realize what the whole point of the video is, they go “BUT STILL WTF IS THIS SHIT?!”
@@kerguelendo yeah it still sucks how short the enjoyment of eating it lasts. Tho jerky's probably some of the most inefficient foods to produce and as a source of actual sustenance.
Beef dehydrates and weighs much less once “jerked”, as a result they probably are trying to get a higher return in prices due to this. That being said, for those who love jerky, try making your own. You can make it taste however you want and you can use an oven. Smoking is also something that is labor intensive and time consuming depending on your amounts (used to make deer jerky with apple wood) but also highly worth it. For those of you who love jack links jerky, Sam’s club will put it on sale for 12.99 for an entire pound. That requires a subscription, however.
“The main reason jerky is so expensive is because it takes a lot more meat to make it than the 2.7 ounces we see. ... The main reason is that all jerky is costly to make. Beef is about 60% water, so when it is dried most of the weight is evaporated. It takes about 2.5 Lbs of quality beef to make 1 Lb of jerky.” - Google
Not to mention the prep time. A good jerky marinades for over 24 hours and to make the jerky softer they have to do some kind of black magic. Its not easy stuff to make at that level. Making it yourself is good but no where near as good.
You see I would agree with you but what I've noticed is the locally made better quality jerky that has way more in each pack is only like a dollar more and sometimes about the exact same price as Jack Link's for example. So they're clearly charging too much even with the meat prep and production cost. At least for the name brands. I can accept that it's a more pricey snack but realistically I think they could at least knock a dollar off of the price and still be really profitable.
Dollar General sells Jack Links same bag sizes with same amount of Jerkey for half the price, like 3.75 a bag, gas stations of course sell it for like 7.50 a bag
that’s hilarious that what started as a video exposé on the jerky scam turned into a commercial for it 🤣 they couldn’t stop munching on it the whole time and talking about how good it is, then look at the nutrition info “oh wow very dense in protein, high calories too” daaamn you Big Jerky!! 😩
High calorie and protein for the amount you're eating but you can get the same amount of protein from other sources. Making homemade protein bars is a good option as well.

But I do need to say it is waaay better then the shit you buy in the stores. I need to buy myself 400 grams of beef to make 100 gram of beefjerky let that sink in. I don't know the prices in The U.S but over here it is expensive. + the oven needs to stay on for another 4 to 6 hours depending which beef jerky I am making. Count everything with it, what will bring the flavour, I will maybe get 1.5 euro's profit per bag that I sell, but that's only because I now have my own animals...its expensive but it cannot be any lower...maybe the big brands can, because they use shitty meat
@@MrFuzziiWuzzii Krave is genuinely good. If you’re not in the mood to break your jaw chewing other brands it’s a good pickup. However sometimes Oberto/Jack links just hit right

@@StoicVeR inflation is a bitch. Literally just ordered a 12 pack of 70g bags from amazon and it cost me £40. I know it’s jack links but damn, you’d think the pieces are coated in gold
Lets do some math :) jerky can be 1/3 the starting weight, a 3:1 ratio. So 2-3 pounds of beef will make 1 pound (16oz) of jerky 2.5oz of jerky per bag purchased (according to video) 2.5oz x 3 (3:1 ratio) = 7.5oz of fresh meat prior to dehydration. Type of meat used in Jerky: Top round and bottom round cattle beef. 1lbs of Top round locally is $6.50~ ... Looking at the model and numbers above ... 16oz (1 pound of meat) is the benchmark. so 7.5oz of fresh Top Round meat at $6.50/lbs = $2.133333 $2.133 / avg cost of bag ($7.50) means the company is making a 72% profit from each bag. Thats a very high margin
@@jonahscott1017 get quite a bit of them? Norm McDonald would disagree he bought acid expected a trip and a trip in the future but he never got it smh... another lie by big acid
drugs just seem expensive because the cost a lot per.gram but you actually get a lot out of it. with the right alc/weed combination you can be completely shot out of your life for an entire day for 10dollar you get a pack chickenmuggets at mcdonalds
The reason it's so expensive is because of the ratio of beef to Jerky. It takes 2.5 pounds of beef to make 1 pound of jerky. It still is very stupid because they keep a decent margin for profit
I dunno its pretty reasonable to me. The 75g pack jack lynx here was like 5.5 Euros. so thats like 5.5 Euros for 180g of beef. When filet costs 50 Euro a kilo - 5 Euro per 100gs thats really not that bad.
Exactly. When you're getting 40% of what you put in you'll have to multiply cost by an equal margin to break even. Add that number with the average 2-3x mark up and it starts to make sense. 1 lb of steak cuts is 5 dollars for some mid grade. That produces around 5 oz. The cheapest you would find for homemade jerky is 3-5 dollars per ounce.
@@KrepsyK I do it as a hobby, with ~60 lbs at a time, it's super easy to make in bulk and I don't even pay $5 CAD per pound. a company buying tens of thousands of pounds definitely wouldn't come close to that price. Up here in Alberta it's pretty easy to find home-made jerky (beef,elk,moose you name it) at less than $15-20 per kilo.
A friend of mine’s father owned a jerky company back in the day. His prices were PHENOMENAL!!!...but they went out of business because they didn’t make enough money 🥺
@roar falcon but you can get reasonably priced steak. Like, there's a place near me that sells a two pack of 8oz for $7/8. It ain't the best steak in the game, but it's not bad either.
@@Chloe_557 it's not about making your own though, it's about how expensive it is to buy. And that is a perfect example of why it is an outrageous price for this lol. I can make a full pound of beef jerky after dehydrating for like $15 in Canada. They payed like 30 American for mabye 200 grams.

@@dominiclombardi it's actually kinda hard and super time consuming to make jerky. When you make allot of deer jerky you understand why it's expensive. You buy 2lbs of good beef it ends up shrinking to 8oz due to dehydration of juices and fat. Then you got these multimillion dollar companies who spend millions on all that meat and spices then they sell it for allot of money for profit hence why you get "scraps of meat" for allot of money when in reality it's actually 2lbs of dehydrated meat
Actually i make jerky Its not that hard You just soak the stripped meat in the seasoning for a day then dehydrate it for about two hours Cost little to nothing and you get alot from it

They will make press releases detailing their mistakes and plans to up the amount of beef in each pack. But by then it will be too late, and Penguin Beef will be well on the way to becoming the no.1 dried beef snack in the USA.
@@superchickenlips1 it's more about weight than anything. In making jerky you lose moisture, weight, and that's most of its cost. Weight is the enemy. You could sell higher moisture jerky like slim jim with relatively low loss in weight to flavour value or sell low moisture jerky with a longer shelf life and higher flavour value at a higher cost due to its lighter weight. Jerky is a balancing act and it's significantly more difficult than a smoked meat. Anyone who portrays jerky as a smoked meat is a fool. It's a dried meat and smoking is a different beast altogether.
He should call the company Acceptable Beef Jerky
Has it been a litter while yet?
I will say, I watched my parents run a little side business making jerky and it's more pricey to produce than you might imagine, especially if meat prices are out of control like during the pandemic. If you're going store bought though, at least get it at some place like Costco where it's much more reasonably portioned to the bag price, especially for the non-beef varieties.
I'm grossed out how much plastic waste comes from some of these food product. At least the jerky pieces are not individually wrapped. Some ready made salads are the worst. Plastic wrapped shit and you get nothing. You basically pay for plastic.
@@Skeptic2006 you should see Japan bro
every single item is wrapped in plastic.
every last vegetable, it's insane.
I always found the difference between meat and jerky prices to be astronomically high. You get something like 2x-4x the jerky per money if you make it yourself and it tastes better too. Associated costs don't seem make up for this difference. But I also mostly do my shopping for meats at the cheapest prices possible like Costco by default and never considered the more pricy options that some people are forced with.
Red meats have gone up in price by crazy amounts. So I've been out of the jerky game for a few years now partially due to that.
A large part of meat’s weight comes from water/hydration in the meat. So jerky makers buy the meat at market price by weight, then immediately remove a large portion of the weight that they paid for by drying it. So the makers have to charge seemingly higher prices to make up for the money lost by dehydration. Add to that, good quality jerky is not a quick and easy process.
I’m stilled bummed by the price of jerky, but I definitely understand it.

@Johnny Eyeball lol
Because of the necessary low fat and moisture content, jerky is high in protein. A 30 g (about 1 oz) portion of lean meat, for example, contains about 7 g of protein. By removing 15 g of water from the meat, the protein ratio is doubled to nearly 15 g of protein per 30 g portion. In some low moisture varieties, a 30 g serving will contain 21 g of protein, and only one g of fat. The price per unit weight of this type of jerky is higher than less-dried forms, as it takes 90 g of 99% lean meat to generate 30 g of jerky.
I’m glad that every Christmas my grandfather makes an entire bag of homemade beef jerky for free. If he didn’t, I’d have to rely on this and be bankrupt.

I wanna see tht so he realizes wht a decent size piece of beef turns into after drying it and making it jerky then he'll get the price, I googled it and beef is about 60% water and it takes 2.5lbs of raw beef to make a pound of jerky so ur getting a pretty decent deal if u ask me because if it's 4 ounces of jerky thts a 10 ounce piece of meat that you'd pay probably close to the same amount for, but they make it into jerky for u
What shocked me later in the jerky game was discovering how much sugar is in mainstream jerky. Even plain and spicy flavors. It’s like cutting cocaine with cheap stuff that people think tastes good.
Probably to make it more addictive? I can't imagine they need it for the preservation.

Beef dehydrates and weighs much less once “jerked”, as a result they probably are trying to get a higher return in prices due to this. That being said, for those who love jerky, try making your own. You can make it taste however you want and you can use an oven. Smoking is also something that is labor intensive and time consuming depending on your amounts (used to make deer jerky with apple wood) but also highly worth it.

Jerky Judge
True check out my Chanel guys I have a video with a good ass recipe
The best part about this video is that it was filmed in the warehouse for no reason
It was important enough!!!
They needed to justify a business expense, and wanted to eat jerky.
“The main reason jerky is so expensive is because it takes a lot more meat to make it than the 2.7 ounces we see. ... The main reason is that all jerky is costly to make. Beef is about 60% water, so when it is dried most of the weight is evaporated. It takes about 2.5 Lbs of quality beef to make 1 Lb of jerky.” - Google
Not to mention the prep time. A good jerky marinades for over 24 hours and to make the jerky softer they have to do some kind of black magic. Its not easy stuff to make at that level. Making it yourself is good but no where near as good.
Still shouldn’t be so high they need to have their own farms or some shit to cut out middle men
Yeah fuck the price. Up here in canada I can find homemade for a really great price.
In my country you can get like a few kg of jerky for 4 bucks
You see I would agree with you but what I've noticed is the locally made better quality jerky that has way more in each pack is only like a dollar more and sometimes about the exact same price as Jack Link's for example. So they're clearly charging too much even with the meat prep and production cost. At least for the name brands. I can accept that it's a more pricey snack but realistically I think they could at least knock a dollar off of the price and still be really profitable.

beef jerky is like "quality over quantity" taken to the logical extreme.
Except its not really quality since much of the meats are from pretty bad cuts.
Jerky aint filet mignon
@@JohnDoe-uq2qd Doesnt need to be, it tastes good
@从 Deadpoppin 从 totally agree, just wanted to make clear that its neither quality nor quantity but still pretty good
Lets do some math :)
jerky can be 1/3 the starting weight, a 3:1 ratio. So 2-3 pounds of beef will make 1 pound (16oz) of jerky
2.5oz of jerky per bag purchased (according to video)
2.5oz x 3 (3:1 ratio) = 7.5oz of fresh meat prior to dehydration.
Type of meat used in Jerky: Top round and bottom round cattle beef.
1lbs of Top round locally is $6.50~ ... Looking at the model and numbers above ...
16oz (1 pound of meat) is the benchmark. so 7.5oz of fresh Top Round meat at $6.50/lbs = $2.133333
$2.133 / avg cost of bag ($7.50) means the company is making a 72% profit from each bag. Thats a very high margin

@@kingmankingboy8743 Bot
more like 87%
The reason it's so expensive is because of the ratio of beef to Jerky. It takes 2.5 pounds of beef to make 1 pound of jerky. It still is very stupid because they keep a decent margin for profit
I may be wrong on this but I heard it takes like two weeks to smoke which I guess the price would make up for all the cost to keep it smoke 24/7
I dunno its pretty reasonable to me. The 75g pack jack lynx here was like 5.5 Euros. so thats like 5.5 Euros for 180g of beef. When filet costs 50 Euro a kilo - 5 Euro per 100gs thats really not that bad.
@@ArchonCommando they're not using filet, and you're getting ripped off anyway.
Exactly. When you're getting 40% of what you put in you'll have to multiply cost by an equal margin to break even. Add that number with the average 2-3x mark up and it starts to make sense. 1 lb of steak cuts is 5 dollars for some mid grade. That produces around 5 oz. The cheapest you would find for homemade jerky is 3-5 dollars per ounce.
@@KrepsyK I do it as a hobby, with ~60 lbs at a time, it's super easy to make in bulk and I don't even pay $5 CAD per pound. a company buying tens of thousands of pounds definitely wouldn't come close to that price. Up here in Alberta it's pretty easy to find home-made jerky (beef,elk,moose you name it) at less than $15-20 per kilo.
I'm so happy this man called this out because I have been thinking it for a while.
A friend of mine’s father owned a jerky company back in the day. His prices were PHENOMENAL!!!...but they went out of business because they didn’t make enough money 🥺
Guess we know why the high prices haha
What was it called?
@roar falcon but you can get reasonably priced steak. Like, there's a place near me that sells a two pack of 8oz for $7/8. It ain't the best steak in the game, but it's not bad either.
@@Chloe_557 it's not about making your own though, it's about how expensive it is to buy. And that is a perfect example of why it is an outrageous price for this lol. I can make a full pound of beef jerky after dehydrating for like $15 in Canada. They payed like 30 American for mabye 200 grams.
@@carterward1449 i mean jerky is still overpriced but you're not factoring in what companies pay to ship the jerky, pay for thousands of employees, factory upkeep, lots of variables
I’m glad he’s bringing this light to the eyes and ears of his massive audience. Charlie, start your own jerky brand and save us. We already know you can make butter. How hard can jerky be?
Moist jerky
@@HuarachesPlaysTv that’s perfect
@@dominiclombardi it's actually kinda hard and super time consuming to make jerky. When you make allot of deer jerky you understand why it's expensive. You buy 2lbs of good beef it ends up shrinking to 8oz due to dehydration of juices and fat. Then you got these multimillion dollar companies who spend millions on all that meat and spices then they sell it for allot of money for profit hence why you get "scraps of meat" for allot of money when in reality it's actually 2lbs of dehydrated meat
bruh he cant even boil water
Actually i make jerky
Its not that hard
You just soak the stripped meat in the seasoning for a day then dehydrate it for about two hours
Cost little to nothing and you get alot from it
I love how contradicting this video is
“This fuckin sucks!”
“Although it is good”
“But we still hate it!”
“On the other hand we get lots of protein”
“But why make it so expensive!?”
“But they do keep me from getting too much sodium..”
Couldn't they just make Jerky that has lower amounts of Sodium in it?
@@_MARSyt I think sodium makes it last forever tho
@@lastrngstanding1077 so it's a preservative? So do you think they could sell bags full to the top of jerky without sodium for a lot but they have a pretty fast expiration time? So like the short shelf life justifies the price but you can eat a lot
@@_MARSyt sodium is where most of the flavor comes from and is mainly how jerky is made, otherwise the meat would go bad in the process of making it
Duality of man
In the Netherlands you don’t even get one of those big pieces, they’re all like thumb sized (and those are the larger pieces) 😢
