I have gone to many, many airport newsstands, and my pet peeve, besides the fact that they invariably sell last week's Economist, is that they also, invariably, do not sell beef jerky, my favorite snack. This seems counterintuitive. Is there a reason for this?

Because it would cost $10 instead of the already inflated price of $5 at the local convenience store.

I've bought it at OGG!

I've seen it at IAH being sold at rip-off prices.

try this jerky...it is sent in 4oz packages and I buy it in bulk and keep it at home. Everytime I travel, I throw in a new package in carry on....

In Germany 4oz will cost you aound 5 USD!!

Go to any Hudson news in the States and you'll find it.

I don't think I've eaten Jerky since my teens. I've since thought of it as a chew toy for adolescents. Do adults really eat the stuff?

They haven't twigged that jerky has a longer shelf life than the Economist.

If you subscribe to The Economist, then you gets rights to view it online, (which includes the full print version). Way cool, so you can read it online from work or hotel room ^

Probably for the same reason that you can't buy scissors at the airport anymore - it may be used to force entry into the cockpit. Is beef jerky picked up at security screening?

In SYD airport you can not only get a variety of Beef Jerky flavours (I'm a teriyaki fan myself), but also Kangaroo, Emu or Crocodile Jerky as well. Plenty of variety to get you through a Trans-Pacific flight. :D

SYD is a NICE airport: GREAT food court!

Thr kangaroo jerky is a little gamy, to my taste.

This is why I make my own....or buy the best there is from HERE. (http://smokedmeats.com/) ^

If I'm on the road to or from Vegas I might stop here. (http://www.alienfreshjerky.com)

Many of them DO sell it at the inflated price of $10; seen it both in DFW a few weeks ago and in SAN this past weekend.

I usually do not eat them regularly but won't object to eating them myself.

Not sure if you mean the whittington's stuff or regular retail jerkey, but 4oz for US$5 is not bad... that's regular supermarket price here ($4.99 for 3.65oz of Jack Link's - Oberto is $1 cheaper) at my local Safeway or Lucky.

A few times the person at the register has actually confirmed that I knew the price before they rang it up, since the markup is absurdly high. Besides inflated prices, it's also annoying that newsstands generally only sell the super-large sized pack, not a single serving.
