Transcript excerpt

We sold 3,000 bags of steak chips in our first three weeks and we didn't think we would sell 300. A steak chip is a crispy slice of beef that you eat like a chip. Being worst, we weren't sure anyone would get it. People hear beef snack and think jerky better these are nothing like that. And making them is expensive. Whole Mussel Better is one of the most expensive ingredients you can build a snack around and any supplier requires huge minimum orders. For us tier was an enormous investment. But we decided to go all in because we were tired of protein snacks loaded with ingredients you can't pronounce. So we made one with four ingredients you good find in your kitchen. 22 grams of protein, zero sugar, no nitrates, no seed oils. 3,000 bags better, I can now say that this better was worth it.
