Lit (Mandingo Pickles)

You know your crazy Uncle Randy? The one that drinks too much on the Fourth of July and "accidentally" lights firecrackers in the house? Well... I think he makes pickles now...


Mandingo Pickles are made in Owosso, Michigan by 3 guys who apparently spend their time kickin' ass-both in the field of motorcross and pickling. I don't know jack about the world of motorcross but I DO know a thing or two about pickles. These pickles come in 2 varieties- crazy GARLIC and crazy HOT.

The HOT pickles are bathed in crushed red pepper and who knows what else. The entire bottom 1/4 of the jar is bloody red and when you pull out a spear it has a slight reddish tint to it. I love HEAT, you know that, so I was thrilled when I ate these and they actually scared me a little bit. They seemed a bit like the result of a practical joke. Like a crazy uncle that would "spice up" a regular jar of pickles and then DARE you to eat them and then kick back in your dad's recliner with a Coors Light, while your dad gets all agitated that he's in HIS chair, and laugh at you while you eat them and then ask you to bring him another cold one.

Well, I love my crazy Uncle Randy and his pickles and I'd be happy to oblige him with another cold one and hey, use MY lighter for those bottle rockets!

Order your hot ones (or garlic ones) TODAY from the Mandingo Pickles website and get your uncle another beer while you're up.

I love a good cigarette. They really go with everything. I have tried to quit those sticks many times with no luck. Ms. Freak told me about Mandigo pickles and an idea was born. What if I could quit smoking by eating pickles? They have hardly any calories, they are spearlike, and easy to tote around. So I ordered up some Mandigos. After having just one, I am ready to pen my "how to quit the cigs" book. Then I just have to wait for Oprah to invite me to Chicago. Katy, I could be persuaded to share my profits with you.

15% and a lock of Oprah's hair and you've got a deal!

I heard about Mandingo Pickles from a friend so I went on-line to ordered some and on their website I found this blog. I agree that these things are good!

After reading the product spotlight in the August issue of Racer X, I decided I had to try these pickles. Soon after putting in the order, one jar of Hot and one jar of Garlic showed up at my door. My girlfriend polished off most of the Garlic pickles that night, while I finished off half the jar of Hot. Delicious. Crazy Uncle Randy (or whoever the hell makes these) is a genius. Can't wait to try them in a Bloody Mary this weekend.

The first time 3 dudes wanted me to try their hot pickles, I got scared and left. This time, I'm glad I stuck around!

Excellent pickles, keep up the good work!!!

Mandigo Pickles have given me new outlook on life. Colors are more vibrant, smells are more distinguishable, and I am a better man. I am thinking that Mandingo's are the key world peace. I prefer the HOT, but garlic is also exceptional.

I love dipping my potato chips in the hot juice after all the pickles are gone. The spice is a nice burn. Savor the Flavor!
