Great Value Original Snack Meat Sticks, 3.92 oz, 14 Count

I was expecting these to taste exactly like an original slim jim, but they don't. However, this worked out in the end for me. I was wanting some mini pepperonis, but they were out of stock, so I chose slim jims with this as a substitution. When I got this substitution, i was pleasantly surprised that they taste more like pepperoni than an original slim jim. I wrapped a mozzarella cheese slice around it for a snack. 10/10

If you love the taste of Slim Jims as i do than you will love these. I highly recommend them. They taste exactly the same as the name brand for a much cheaper price. They are packaged individually and conveniently. i always buy the biggest box and keep them stocked up because they seem to sell out alot where i shop.

It's very strange that there appears to be extremely different textures from stick to stick. Some are firm - as they should be - and others are quite soft with no crispness at all. These are primarily used as special treats for my dog, but I really enjoy the firm ones!

I have been buying these for a few years. Recently, the package has been very difficult to open. My grandkids, 11 and 9 are experiencing the same difficulty.The kids cannot open them in school and I am having to slit the package at home so they can have them at school. Makes it difficult when usually we are eating them as a snack when we are not home.

It doesn't make a great snake imo, being so small. It says 4 sticks is a serving size, so...why make them so small? It is weird. The texture is a bit tough, especially the casing, though the taste and flavor is decent. I find the spice level mild. I prefer the Frigo beef stick cheese combo because the stick is more plump and succulent.

I only buy these to cut up into 8 pieces each and insert my dog's pills into them as they are cheaper than the "pill pockets" sold for that purpose and they work great for that. As far as for human snacking if find them to be : 1) hard as a brick .. 2) as tasteful as a mouth of sawdust and 3) greasy as eating a spoonful of lard.

I buy them for my dog as a treat. They are perfect for that. However, they come all connected to eachother. When you go to separate them, if you dont use scissors, it tears open the pkg. The taste is NOTHING like a slim jim. For a pup snack, its fine. He likes them. But if youre expecting a taste like a slim jim. Would not recommend.

I was hoping this would be as good as the name brand because Great Value products tend to be good. This was not the case- the texted is fine but the consistency is off. Some tasted fine but majority of them had a weird earthy after taste. Grossed me out! You're better off spending the extra few dollars on the name brand.

USED to be a great value on going generic from other beef sticks. Now, October 4, 2025, these have gotten SUPER SMALL AND THIN! Better off spending the .06 Cents Difference. Slim Jim is 4.12 for a 12 pack and this is 3.52 for a 12 pack. Slim Jims are at least thicker.

Texture and taste are pretty bad. The outside is really tough to bite through but the inside is almost juicy and just ends up being oily and weird. Plus the smell is strong and not appealing. Also the packaging really sucks to open. I ended up feeding these to my dogs.
