I bought this because it said "thick" and I thought that was unique. It's not really thick. Consistency was kind of soupy. There's a large clump of beef in mine, but then after stirring I wouldn't call this thick.
First impression was I smelled "Hormel" which is usually a bad thing. This chili wasn't as bad as Hormel. In fact I actually like it.
It's what you'd except from a corporation. Average, somewhat bland, not the least bit spicy, and nothing unique about it. If you just want something that tastes okay, goes well on a hot dog, chips, or just by itself, this is good enough that I went and bought some more. I dressed it up with spicy brown mustard on my dog also, but definitely add some onions.
