Not Your Typical Box of Candy for Valentine's Day...

When I saw this furry-edged box sitting amongst the standard heart shaped boxes I had to do a double -take to see what it was.

Jack Links Beef Jerky has the above featuring their infamous  mascot "Sasquatch" on the front holding rose and the box contains 1.25oz of their product, so you are mostly paying for the fun packaging.

With a little creativity, you could probably easily turn Sasquatch into Chewbacca, the Wookie from "Star Wars" and call the contents Wookie snacks.

The above  was $6.99 at a local Kroger affiliate for which is about half the price they are for sale for currently on  Amazon for $13.87 if you are in the market for something a little different like this.
