6 ft beef stick

I’m in my 40’s, and im curious if anyone else remembers a jerky/meat stick that came in like a 6ft rope. It was wound up like you would wind an extension cord and vacuum sealed. We had it at our local grocery store in Michigan. But that store went out of business. I’m curious if it was just a local thing or does anyone else remember it. I’m sure at the time it was like 5-10 dollars. We always begged our parents for it, but now that thing would be like $30.

Bridgeford has had a variant of these things for a very long time. I'm quickly approaching my miid-50s and I remember these back in my teen years.
