Fishermen off the coast recently hauled in a catch they weren’t expecting: a massive crate of vacuum-sealed beef jerky that had been floating in the ocean for months. Despite the salt water and the sun, the jerky remained intact, though the smell was described by rescuers as “unforgettable.”
Local authorities are still trying to trace the origin of the jerky crate, which some believe fell off a cargo ship during a storm last year. One thing is for certain: even the seagulls are keeping their distance from this particular maritime snack.
