    Turkey sticks were great. Beef sticks are awful.

    I bought both the Archer Beef mini sticks, and the Turkey mini sticks this morning at publix. I noticed that there were lots of the beef sticks on the shelf, and only two of the turkey. I purchased one of each, and tried them at home. * The turkey mini sticks are delicious, and seasoned just right. The texture and mouth feel is excellent. * The beef mini sticks, however, are awful. The texture is unpleasant. They are over seasoned with who knows what. This was unexpected, after trying the turkey sticks. I am not biased against beef. I like all kinds of meat. Archer should get some independent consumer evaluations of their Beef mini sticks, and make the appropriate recipie changes.

    The rebrand makes Slim Jims look like wagyu

    Even 6 months ago I would've given this product 5 stars, now the quality has gone so downhill that it is no longer edible. I have bought country archer beef sticks for years and now they changed the product to be completely different. The old beef sticks were fantastic and the new ones have a far more unappetizing texture. While the spice does not bother me, I will agree with everyone else that says they have gotten spicier. The old recipe was far superior and I hope that the company will change it back to what it was. I will not continue buying it until it has changed back because now they taste extremely cheap and processed- like the company is using spices to hide the bad quality of their product. The texture used to be that of beef jerky and now it has a soft texture like baby food. And why are they orange now?? I fear that Slim Jims even have a better texture than these. I am so heartbroken because I loved the old product.

    The new ones are DISGUSTING!!

    Used to love these, but they changed something during their rebrand and now they’re AWFUL! I returned the ones I purchased and won’t be buying them again. If I could give these 0 stars I would.

    Spicy without warning

    Much too spicy for my taste buds! This was my 1st time trying them. They had my mouth of fire. There's no mention of the spicy flavors. On the packaging.

    Rebrand is awful

    The new sticks are awful. The texture is gross. Why would you change a good thing. No longer purchasing this brand. No longer worth the price.

    My mom bought these for me and my sister and 5 of the beef sticks were empty. Not even opened, but just plain empty.

    Nope!

    What happened? These used to be so good. For some reason with this last purchase the meat is orange, greasy, and oddly mushy.
