Groundhog Jerky Is More Tender

2007-02-02T18:29:00.000-08:00

In honor of Groundhog Day we went to the local convenience store and asked listeners to try out our new product -- Groundhog Jerky -- and compare it to traditional beef jerky.

Most people found the Groundhog Jerky a bit more tender and flavorful than beef jerky. One person had the nerve to suggest that both bowls contained the same kind of jerky.

I did tell one fib about the Groundhog Jerky. I told people the groundhogs are raised on a tiny little ranch in Wyoming. Clearly a lie. Everyone knows groundhog ranches are in Spain.
