The other day I find myself in Costco, now the only thing great about Costco is they always have new stuff to try and I like trying new things!  So here I am at Costco wandering aimlessly through the isles dodging all the people there just for the free food while trying to look for miscellaneous items for work and I stumbled upon a bag of pistachios.  Well first of all I love pistachios so without looking at the bag I just grabbed it and tossed it into the cart then when I got back to work and unloaded my treasure of candies, sugar, creamer and everything else is when the discovery was made that these were not your run of the mill ordinary pistachios they were something new.  The first thing that grabbed my eye was the bag it says "Everybody's Nuts!" www.everbodysnuts.com the first thing I thought of was Vince Offer in his commercial saying "Your going to love my nut!" so I then began acting like a two year old and was walking through the office asking if anyone wanted to try my peppered and salted nuts?  So before I had a chance to try them myself people were already coming back to me and stating how good that they were and wanted some more.  At this point my joking became serious and I decided that I had better try some before they are all gone.

So I pour a bowl full of theses new Salt & Pepper pistachio nuts grab me another bowl to throw the shells into and sit back down at my desk to start enjoying this new concoction.  On first look they did not look any different than a regular pistachio  nut but that did not last very long because as soon I tasted one it was completely different and new.  The taste was incredible they seemed like they actually had less salt than regular pistachios but the pepper actually made them taste incredible.  I was a little worried that the pepper would over power the taste of the pistachios but to my surprise it was not over peppered and seem to compliment the natural taste of the pistachio.  the only thing that I can say bad about these Salt & Pepper pistachios is that they are almost impossible to put down.  Now while I have been writing about these I found out that J has found and tasted a Chili Lime flavored pistachio and has promised to write a review on them and post it soon.  Until that day comes check out the website above and give these nuts a try first!

Well here is the first post at jandorjohn and you are probably wondering what the hell is jandorjohn, well that is simple, we are two regular guys that will be giving reviews on anything that might be related to guys.  My first review will be on Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka www.fireflyvodka.com for years I used to drink Stolichnaya Vodka on the rocks which in my opinion if you are a guy that is one of the only vodkas you should drink.  Now do not get me wrong Gray Goose is not bad if you do not like the taste of vodka but I like vodka because of the taste.  Today we are going to talk about Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka we can discuss Stoli later.  I used to drink iced tea with vodka and what a great drink that was you never tasted the vodka so one day after a round of golf with my friends I walked into the club house and ordered an vodka iced tea.  The bartender told me that there was a new vodka out the tastes like a mild sweet tea and that it might be something that I might like.  I was a little skeptical but said what the hell I will try it so she mixed it half water and half sweet tea vodka and to my surprise it was great.  I was a little worried about being too sweet but it was just right and within fifteen minutes the first one was gone and had already ordered a second.  Within the hour three were gone and I was feeling no pain and shocked that a drink this good could could get me feeling alright in such a short time.  As I left the golf course I had to stop and get a bottle for home so that I could continue to enjoy this new drink.

I have been drinking this drink for a few months now and tried a few variations to the drink my favorite as of today is Firefly Sweet Tea and lemonade it kind of tastes like an Arnold Palmer which if you do not know is tea and lemonade.  There are also many different vodkas that Firefly makes such as Lemon Sweet Tea, Mint Sweet Tea, Raspberry Sweet Tea and Peach Sweet Tea which I have not tried yet but planning on it.  Their website also contains numerous drink recipes to try, some stronger than others but this drink is so good that you can actually enjoy it straight on the rocks.  So if you are a man that enjoys drinking as much as I do I highly recommend this 70 proof vodka and I recommend trying all drink recipes.  This drink is great to drink by yourself but so much better with friends and definitely a drink for men.
