Okay, so I finally tried the Happy Belly Smoked BBQ Rub, and here's the tea ☕️.

First off, this stuff is salty. Like, 'I might turn into a pretzel' salty. If you're into that, go wild—but I had to mix it with brown sugar to balance it out. Pro tip: 50/50 ratio saved my ribs from becoming a salt lick.

The flavor? Actually pretty bomb. Smoky, sweet, with hints of garlic and onion. Used it on pork shoulders and chicken, and my family devoured it. But ribs? Nah, too much sodium—my ankles swelled up like balloons 🎈.

Big plus: the container is huge. Lasted me months, and for the price? Solid deal. Just check the expiry date—mine arrived almost out of date (rude).

Verdict: Good base rub if you tweak it (or love salt). Not repurchasing, but no regrets either. 6/10 ✨.
