Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
What meat stick is the best? This week we revisit the meat stick category, but this time we try the more expensive options. Each of these products boasts about being some combination of natural, non-GMO, no added sugar etc. Today we will see if these labels actually change the flavor. More importantly we learn if the flavor is worth the increase in price. The contestants are Chef's Cut, Chomps, First Phorm, and New Primal.
