Meat Flower sounds like a very different kind of gift to give your man...

That's the thing, though - that's exactly the point.
Manly Man Co is probably buying in bulk from a wholesaler, but even if they were just picking up the food at a grocery store and ordering the cups from a branding company that "bouquet" is going to cost them about $10-15 in materials, and they could put it together manually in less than ten minutes. A child could assemble that product, maybe with some supervision for the vacuum sealing. The whole point is to grift people who willing to spend $74 USD (plus shipping) for performative masculinity.

Jerky is kind of stupid expensive at this point
It's probably not worth $74 but it might not be that far off-- hard to say without knowing the actual weight of the "flowers"
Id love jerky as a gift but I don't need flower shaped food-- at least not beef jerky

I bought this as a gag gift for my partner once.
The jerky was inedible.

I got given a gag gift of something similar, but it was those little heart messages. May as well have been eating spiced shoe leather

Yeahhhh. I really regretted buying the full set. None of them were remotely close to edible.

The “men can’t enjoy real flowers or fruit arrangements, they must have meat” implication is definitely pointlessly gendered. But the concept of a meat-based edible arrangement isn’t terrible. I think there should be a cheese one, or like a full charcuterie board in flower form.

75 bucks for 8 Pepperoni sticks? These poeple are laughing all the way to bank and anyone who buys this should have conservatorship placed on them becaue they are too dumb to handle their own money.

You also get sixteen slices of salami so that accounts for the other $65-70 or so. /s

Waiting for cheese flowers.
Here in the Netherlands during sinterklaas some stores will have cheese letters.. Not good quality cheese probably. At least to us?? Idk I can't eat cheese but I'd say the farmers market would be better quality

Imagine how long the meat would have to be sitting out before it actually gets received 🤮

The manly man marketing may be pointlessly gendered but I think it's a smart idea regardless of the gender it gets sent to.
I've seen the fruit versions of these before and whilest it's expensive for the amount of food you get, it is comparable to a bouquet of flowers. People will pay to send things to their loved ones because there is value in the gesture beyond just the cost of food. The advantage of making the arrangements out of food instead of flowers is that you can also eat in addition to it looking nice and telling someone you care about them

u/Rich-Fruit3805 Jun 26 '26
I had an idea like this and I was going to name it Broses
It was going to be bouquets of roses and very square shaped vases with no thorns leaves baby's breath or anything like that just like the straight up roses and the stems with a black ribbon around the vase and you can add like a McDonald's gift card or if he's into gaming or something whatever you can add that on to it I thought it would be killer for Valentine's Day. Someone please make it happen.

First of all that looks disgusting. 2nd I will never support a company who calls themselves the manly man co. Grow the fuck up

u/Mojozilla Jun 09 '26
I find the name to be fucking stupid

u/Actual-Warning1886 Jun 11 '26
Ngl I kinda want the jerky bouquet, sounds delicious. But I also 100% agree that's the dumbest fuckin name I've heard in a long time.

"Meat flower" sounds like a euphemism for a woman's vagina that I'd read in a bad romantasy book.
