Jurassic Jerky Insanity Beef Jerky - made with the Ghost, Habanero & Carolina Reaper the Hottest Pepper on Earth! Can you handle the Heat? - (1) 1 oz bag

Genuinely one of the only beef jerky that advertised itself as what it was. I love spice, but man i felt the first piece burn all the way through my GI tract and only after an hour of sweating and cramping was I feeling better. Fantastic taste, genuinely insane spice. 10/10 would lay on my bathroom floor for an hour any day.

I have read quite a few reviews stating that this jerky was way too hot for their consumption pleasure. The name on the package says it all. This isn't some gas station jerky that you purchase and hope to get heat but only get disappointed. I really enjoy this jerky and the flavor composition of it. As soon as I open the bag and broke off a piece I had a feeling that this was going to be some heat that I'm not familiar with. Within seconds of consuming my tongue began to burn and I was immediately impressed with the heat. After the heat in my mouth and stomach went away I felt a sigh of relief. Eating spicy food is good for you and I really enjoy this jerky. I recommend this jerky to anyone who has a high tolerance for heat and enjoys the burn of extremely spicy food... You won't be disappointed.

I'd say Jurassic Jerky's Insanity Beef Jerky is a great pick for anyone who enjoys a spicy snack. When i opened the bag, i noticed a strong, inviting aroma. The jerky has a nice, chewy texture that’s satisfying without being too tough. The heat level is impressive. It starts off with a warm kick, then builds to a noticeable spiciness that lingers. It’s definitely for those who appreciate a challenge, but it doesn’t overpower the rich, smoky flavor of the beef. The quality of the ingredients stands out, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into making this jerky. Overall, if you’re looking for a spicy jerky that delivers on flavor and heat, this one is definitely worth a try.

So, first off: I'm not one for insane hot/spicy stuff. HOWEVER! I am attempting some of the food challenges you see that go viral: Hot Ones Pringles, Carolina Reaper Cheetos, and now the newest addition: Jurassic Jerky. I ordered 3 of these, since only two other co-workers wanted to try it with me. One co-worker took a nibble and was like "Nope." The other one ate it and said it was really good and just snacked on the rest of his bag straight up devouring it. He also warned it would probably kill me lol. I tried mine. Took a nice sized bite and felt the heat almost immediately. It didn't get TOO terrible and was more or less tolerable. Sure, it was a bit hot but I powered through. First co-worker didn't believe I ate a big enough piece so I finished off the one I had tore from. BIG. MISTAKE. Yeah, it was suuuuuuper hot. Now, I know I'm a lightweight at heat normally, but my tolerance has been kicking in somewhat past few years. Taste (here's where the opinion lies): To me, it wasn't very flavorful hot, but it felt like just hot for the sake of being hot. The few moments I could taste the beef itself, it didn't taste bad. However, most of the time I could only taste like it had been soaked in regular hot sauce that just had tons of everything hot added to it. I'm sure there are people who actually LOVED this product (like co-worker), but it just wasn't for me. Now if it were a flavorful hot, then perhaps I would have liked the taste better. Overall, if you're interested in the challenge aspect, or you are just a hot-flavor fiend, then this product is absolutely worth giving a try!

I've had creeping reaper and I've gone through bags of ghost pepper pacqui before, and neither of those were remotely as bad as this. I've gone through creeping reaper jerky normally and I felt fine, minus the flaming piss I usually get as a result of going through spicy food quickly. Knowing how tame creeping reaper was I went through this entire bag in under 2 minutes as it is a tiny bag. the flavor is good but I noticed the pain was much more than usual. After I finished this I was drooling constantly from a severe pain to my salivary glands, mind, my throat was fine and I had no lasting tongue or throat pain, this was a first for me. Well the pain stopped, all was well again until 30 minutes later when this concoction of marinated hellspawn hit my gut. The pain was unbearable. I had to use all my strength to get to the toilet where the pain was so bad my legs and arms stopped working. I was almost at the point where I had to call the hospital because the pain had become an entire experience of my stomach being doused in molten lava. 15 minutes pass and its like this pain never existed, even though I was sweating intensely. I told myself never again. An hour later and the pain started creeping up again so I went to lay down this time and it knocked me out for the rest of the night, probably 10 hrs. Just don't eat the entire bag at once. You may actually regret it. I think I'll just stick to creeping reaper.

So I enjoy something spicy, pretty spicy, even REALLY spicy. But this stuff is ridiculous, the heat is out of control. The only flavor detectable is insane heat. It hurt my throat and made me nauseated. Heat for heat's sake is no joy at all, it feels like a cruel joke or a torture implement. I say avoid at any and all costs.

Purchased this along with the Inferno XXX from the same company. This one is definitely much hotter. I would say personally I prefer the Inferno as the flavor is quite a bit better. The quality of the jerky is great. Not super tough but not too tender. This stuff will light you up if you are not accustomed to spicy foods. I do wish the heat lasted a bit longer because within a few minutes of eating, the spice was gone. Even without drinking anything, the heat just doesn't last. It did leave my stomach feeling a bit off, but that too, only lasted a little while. I wouldn't hesitate recommending to anyone who likes spicy foods.

Great flavor and very spicy, bought this for my spice loving husband for our anniversary, it was fun to share together
