If Tailgaters Were Jack Link’s Meat Snacks

It’s football season and America’s #1 meat snack brand is bringing jerky to the tailgate. There’s nothing like a parking lot party to hype people up before the game, especially when food’s involved. But let’s face it, not everyone has time for a full-on grill session before game time. While you’re stopping to buy beer, why not pick up some meat snacks? Jack Link’s Protein Snacks are bursting with bold flavor and perfect for fans on the move. To kick off tailgate season, we’ve matched some classic tailgater personalities with the perfect game day bites! Here are our favorites.

1. The Grill Master

Give them a spatula and they could feed the whole stadium. A lean, mean, flipping machine that won’t quit until every fan is fed. They know the grub is as crucial as the game itself. They like their meat smoky, tender, and cooked to perfection – nothing less and nothing more.

Meat Snack Match: Beef Smoked Sausages

These smoky little sausages are perfect for sharing and snacking throughout the day. Mouthwateringly seasoned and slowly smoked, just the way the grill master likes it. At 7g of protein per serving, they’ll help keep you satisfied before reaching the stadium. No spatula required.

2. The Hypeman

You know the one. The loudest in the group, decked out in the most gameday merch. They cheer for everyone. Buddies, strangers, even that guy that looks a bit lost. Their spontaneous, firecracker attitude cranks the team spirit to 11. If this isn’t you, you probably wonder how someone can have that much energy.

Meat Snack Match: Sweet & Hot Beef Jerky

Sweet & Hot Beef Jerky is the life of the party. With it’s perfect blend of sweet and spicy, it’s an outside-the-box flavor that’s perfectly sweet and spicy, and it never fails to bring some excitement to the party. Even if you’re not feeling as bold, this jerky’s irresistibly fiery kick will win you over every time.

3. The DJ

They have a speaker in one hand and a beer in the other. Tailgates need epic music, and they’re the ones spinning the game day playlist. Everyone’s ready to get loud before the kickoff, and the DJ knows just how to pump up the crowd.

Meat Snack Match: Jack Link’s Wild Original Stick®

This beef stick is taller by a whopping seven inches and (possibly) longer lasting than our original beef sticks. Just like the DJ knows how to keep the music going long after the game ends, this beef stick brings you the wild energy that you crave.

4. The Referee

Tailgates are just a distraction for this football fanatic. Their world revolves around the game, noticing every play. They’re always ready to give you an ongoing detailed recap of the action. For the ref, there’s no time for a full meal. They need quick, mouthwateringly delicious snacks that help keep them fueled until the final whistle.

Meat Snack Match: Jack Link’s Cold Crafted® Beef & Cheddar Bites

When you can’t afford to look away from the game, not even for a second, these snacks have your back. Just like the ref, these tender nuggets of beef and bursts of cheddar cheese are always on the ball. Swing by your local convenience store and pick up some Jack Link’s Cold Crafted® to help keep your focus locked in on the action.

5. The Wild One

A daredevil with no limits. Put them near the beer pong table, and it’s a matter of time before chaos evolves. It’s like a Sasquatch® encounter. You never know what to expect from them. The number one rule? Keep them fed, or you might witness their hangry side.

Meat Snack Match: Jalapeño Beef Jerky

Our jalapeño jerky is a legendary fan favorite among the wild ones. One bite and they let their taste buds dance to the rhythm of the game. This spicy, lip-smacking jerky is the perfect pre or post game pick-me-up. Just tear the bag open, get a whiff of jalapeño peppers, and Feed Your Wild Side®.
