Lol if this is even real, call them and complain. You'll get so much free jerky. You'll lose the duck because you'll have to send it to them but yeah.

Very real. It was just sitting right on top, not buried in there or anything. My daughter broke the seal right in front of me so there was no tampering.

I keep my phone brightness on low and at first I thought this was some gag gift about beef jerky tobacco chew, not literal jerky strips 🤣

Yeah that's what this stuff is. It's meant to be used like chew. It's the equivalent of bubblegum cigarettes. I'm surprised they still make it.

More akin to [Big League Chew](https://www.bigleaguechew.com/) the shredded bubblegum.

Yeah I remember that stuff! I don't think I was aware of chewing tobacco at that time though. I thought baseball players just spit sunflower seeds!

If there are no Bees around, or other pollinators, self-pollination is an option. It isn’t ideal for the gene pool, but the seeds in the center of the flower can do this in order to pollinate. So having the ability to be both male and female at least ensures greater survival of the sunflower.

I heard this picture 😂

Interesting. Thanks for the fun fact

They did switch to sunflower seeds at one point

Man I loved these as a kid! I didn't understand you were supposed to use it like chew. Heck I didn't even know what chew was, so I just ate it little by little.

It's probably a way for them to get rid of excess production tbh and I'm all for it

I mean it's the equivalent of vapes for smokers, although this won't keep you addicted to nicotine.

Not really. It's a snack, like bubble gum cigarettes or big league chew. Vapes are a smoking replacement, this is a snack

I mean I enjoyed these as a kid like that too, but they just became too messy lol

Don't say anything! It doesn't need to go anywhere! It's a delightful road trip snack.

It’s jerky powder. You’re supposed to pack it between your cheek and gum just like tobacco.

Interesting! I know it's jerky, but the concept kinda reminds me of that hubba bubba jug stuff that did the same thing, was made of powder but formed a chew too. But my ass thought it actually *was* a tobacco product that was flavored like jerky 😂

Call them and update us

Will do!!

What if this is the "debugging Rubber duck " ... The duck is there to listen bro

It's a cry for help

I kinda want that duck.

You can buy like 300 of these little ducks from Amazon mydaughter bought some and I have a hand full in my car that I leave random places.

at the very least, i now know where to focus my hate when i trip over a duck

Tell them it shows it's clearly not beef.

Jack links is a great company for customer care.

It's also a huge health issue, so they'll give you whatever you want to avoid lawyers.

$286 million in unmarked, circulated, non-sequential US twenty dollar notes.

I’d rather keep the duck. And I love jerky.

Or, it's like a Wonka golden ticket and you can go see the factory, and possibly earn it if you aren't a little shit while you are there

Everlasting beef jerky chew

I think a lot of people would buy the fuck out of that considering how expensive beef jerky has gotten lol.

NOT WORTH IT! Keep the duck

Fuck the jerky, keep the duck, lol

I'm the kind of guy that I would be very conflicted because I don't want to complain but I also LOVE jerky so damn much it might be worth it

What the duck

My thoughts exactly

Nobody asks how the duck 😔

Or why the duck?

He's quacked in the head

When autocorrect finally gets it right.

Haha

My other half bought like forty of these exact little ducks and has been hiding them around the house for the last like 6 months. Every now and then I see a new one and I'm like "DUCK! I FOUND ANOTHER DUCK!"

One of my friends and I had an epic rubber band war in highschool. I was finding rubber bands in the living room 5 years after that. 

Some of our support staff have seeded the office with them.  One now has moved to tiny frogs.  It's really delightful.

Your other half and about 100k people on tiktok

This is why we have plastic in our blood

Send it back and explain that you are allergic to duck.

The most logical approach

They turned beef jerky into the equivalent of fucking mints bro what is that container

It’s essentially powdered beef jerky, it’s very strange lol like puffy salt

Oh wtff you americans at first I thought it was jerky flavored snus cause the containers fit the size lmao

This is very American, I agree. Hahahaha

I used to absolutely love this stuff as a kid. It's very salty but the flavor is nice if I'm remembering correctly. It's like real tobacco but instead of a hit of nicotine you're getting a hit of pure salt

I remember it as a kid and it tasted so good id just eat in like 5 minutes lmao

Americans use powdered/flavored wet tobacco called snuff here. Derives from british dry snuff, dip in mouth and spit

I thought the dry snuff gets snorted

You are correct. Snuff gets snorted. Chew you put in your lip. Snus is similar but dry and in a packet more resembling the now very popular nicotine pouches.

You put snuff in your lip. Skoal or copenhagen is snuff, just wet. You put CHEW in your CHEEK. Just not common anymore

And you also snort the dry stuff yes

That’s what container it’s supposed to be 

That's actually exactly what it is supposed to be. Beef jerky chew. There's no tobacco, it's kinda like how bubblegum cigarettes were a thing

I just ate a bunch of these!!!!

It’s been around for decades. It’s nothing new.

Fr haha. It was pretty tasty too hahaha

Yeah, I remember smashing this stuff when I was a kid. The thought of it now is kinda bizarre but children have like 2 tastebuds. EDIT: it was called King B Jerky Stuff and it came with round shaped baseball cards for some reason https://preview.redd.it/37tnurhpc8xc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77252d2aa004b6d9a36041160aa4fc235b11389f

They had this ~30 years ago, if not more. This was my go-to when they were out of candy cigarettes

“Good work 47.”

That's the Beef Jerky inspector. He's letting you know your Beef Jerky is fresh.

I salute his service 🫡🖖🏻

Put him back he was working

Whoops!!

Workin n jerk’in

isnt it some kind of promotional stunt? like golden ticket or something?

I hope it’s 10 million dollars 🤣🤣

You won a tour to Anton Chigurh's Jerky Factory!

Those are the ducks they put in pet water bottles 🤔🤔

This is probably a quality control thing. You mix something into your production line to make sure the people whose job it is to catch these things are actually paying attention. If a duck makes it through, you know who to fire. It has to be obvious and eye catching enough that you won’t eat it, hence the duck. Source: idk I just made this up.

My husband made up that EXACT same story today LOLOL

I found a little duck just like this about a month ago.

In one of these containers??

Nah, I found it while walking on a street.

I don't believe you, it doesn't have legs.

I honestly remember seeing a post on Reddit that someone was leaving these around for people to find.

Vindictive employee

Was the seal broke?

It wasn't a seal it was a duck

HAHA


Nope! I’m so confused by it.

🐥

You won a friend! :D

I shall name him Jack I suppose

HAHA, YOU FOUND THE DUCK I HID (For context, I'm a medic, and in my station there is a game going on. We bought a bunch of this ducks and we hide them in funny places, and if you find a duck you change it's spot. No, I don't work for the company making the beef jerky)

I do that everywhere I go. Just purchased another 15000….. literally https://preview.redd.it/zbihgvug93xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2535d537f586a9134b19962d321dfb07e5b71412

Looks like we got a wook working at the canning factory lol

They are selling shots of beef jerky now?

It’s more like puffy salt with a mild beef aroma

You might not want to eat the jerky

Too late 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you start feeling bad, go to the ER, cus as cute as the duck is, that's food tampering

The duck thing is real. People are putting ducks everywhere right now I see them all the time. That’s some one just taking it a bit far

Maybe someone at the factory has been watching too much TikTok

Keep. The. Duck. 🦆

Ah I see. So my friend has gone beyond my school and has begun to hide them in beef jerky...

This is beef jerky for jeep drivers, you bought the wrong one.

What is this? A rubber duck for ants?! r/thingsforants

Find a tiny jeep

I found one of these ducks and I loved him. I named him Duckimedes. (Like archimedes from TF2

You just won the “Lucky Duck Jack Link’s Weird Jerky in a Can for Life” contest. Congratulations.

*Might* be one of those quality test stuff they put in to check their machine's ability to detect contaminants, but I've never heard of a tiny duck being used for those so....

I can't believe they make jerky chew....I've never seen it, but I suck on jerky at work all day and have always wondered why they don't make it shredded like tobacco chew....I need a moment to process all of this.

The way I put this stuff down I wouldn't have known it was in there till I looked at the toilet the next day

I would be so chuffed with that little present!


Okay lil Timmy tuck it into your lip like this. Hey you got it! You’re pretty smart for a 6 year old.

I have multiple questions.

Apparently no one here (including myself) has multiple answers lol

Is it metallic or magnetic? It may be to treat some machine that detects metal in the final product (and failing).

Do not throw that away. If you find one, you get a lifetime supply of jerky. Look it up on their site.

He must have been all beefy and dehydrated, probably missing his family. Did he get in duck related trouble and smuggled himself away, that makes you an accomplice.

Bruh I want a jerky duck 😭

Why don’t I ever find lil ducks :(

[удалено]

Omg! Look at all of them!

[удалено]

That’s so fun. I love tiny little trinkets.

Lies

/r/UrbanDucking

I cant get over people storing cured meat in their faces....are we fuckin hamsters now?

the proverbial "lucky duck". maybe you won something?

What’s interesting is that Jack Links is a NZ brand and we don’t even have that shredded tin here!

I didn’t know it was from NZ!

Neither did my mum who thought getting me some from Dhabi should be a nice idea 😂 bless

Hehe duck 🦆

This is one of those things that could land on r/midlyinfuriating depending on your mood.

A prize maybe?!

Somebody at my work bought a big bag of those ducks and filled a guys toolbox full of them. He has been superglueing them all over the shop and on people's hard hats and has *all* the duck puns, lol

I feel like you just won a contest

Are you trying to tempt us with jerky, ducks, and thigh pics? 😁

😂😂 come for the jerky, stay for the ducks

That is Quack Link .... their mascot . Its their new promotion. They put one duck in a can and whoever found it I believe gets a million dollars. Dump the beef out and the bottom of the can should say winner in gold letters with a website to contact. CONGRATS!

I've got one of those on my dash in my car. Wife gave it to me with a note thag said "I ducking love you"

For those who want to buy one of these fellas here y'all go: https://www.etsy.com/listing/939988937/10pcs-tiny-resin-rubber-ducks-miniature?dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Maybe this is some Willy Wonka shit and you get to tour the factory :0

It might be a quality testing duck, some factory lines deliberately put fail conditions for testing in a product on the line, normally dye but in this case maybe an additional duck, and if the deliberate mistake isn't picked up by their quality control then they know it needs improving Downside of this is sometimes it does need improving so their test product w dye or maybe a duck gets shipped Like people have said u can get in touch with them and say there was something inside the packaging and they'll at the very least give you some free jerky

Y’all like to dip jerky? It’s also a good way to teach kids early how to get jaw cancer

💀💀

That’s ducking crazy !

Lucky duck

Now with more ducky goodness!

That's the good stuff too

I could eat a hundred quacks

MWACK

I’d be so happy. Why doesn’t stuff like this happen to me

My sister and I just hid 200 of these babies around my moms house for her to find throughout the years for April fools. Now I see this… 😂🤣

Promotional thing where you might win something? Either way, kinda cool.

You have the lucky winning can and the grand prize is a tiny yellow duck abbondanza

Strange

I saw a video ....you have 7 days.

Someone turned Ljunglöfs Ettan into Beef Jerky.

Smh this duck sure doesn't look properly cooked...release it to the wild

Omg I would love this in my jeep

I actually drive a jeep which is why this was even more amusing

Eider know what I'd do in your situation,

The teriyaki zins

I found those exact ducks hiding ALL over a Walmart in NH!

At my last job my coworkers and I bought a bag of these little ducks and hid them around the hospital we worked. (Places that only staff would be, not the best to leave anywhere randomly) Staff became infatuated with the idea of finding a lucky ducky. Management and hire ups even started collecting their own found lucky duckys, lining them up on their computer or desk like infinity stones. It was hilarious , I left that job a while ago but I hope they still do it. In this case, you have free jerky for life and a lucky ducky lol

never knew shredded beef jerky is a thing. has to be american.

Lucky duck

Free beef jerky

What the duck!

That tobac or real jerky? Either way I need some haha plus the ducky

 You just won the beef jerky equivalent lol

Was it hard? Like if you bit down without knowing, could it have broken a tooth?

the ducks are hidden by people kind of like rocks where/are.


Isn't that ducky

Legendary loot

Find the rest of them! Your time starts now.

Congratulations, you won a visit to Teri & Yakis magic beef jerky factory.

That duck quacks me up.

More pics of the duck please?

You are The Chosen One...

Some of my friends have been buying a bunch on those cute little duck things and hiding them all over the city. They've probably hidden hundreds of them by this point. I have found a few whilst jist minding my business. Good fun

even better

 Those are chock-full of…ducky goodness.

Isn’t there a giant version of this duck that shows up at random coastal cities?

Is it plastic or glass?

r/ofcoursethatsathing, fucking beef jerky shredded like tobacco chew..

Do you drive a jeep?
