Kraft’s excellent adventure: alcohol in Jell-O?

Thanks for Michele Simon of the alcohol industry watchdog, the Marin Institute, for telling me about Kraft’s creative idea for selling more Jell-O: mixed drinks. You have to be 21 or over to look at the site and, I guess, be 21 or over to eat Jell-O?  Why do I think this will be a tough sell?  Or maybe it won’t?

A bit unfortunately, people have been doing Jello shooters for years. Being a recent college grad, I know better than I would like to admit that they are sweet, easy to swallow, and get you much drunker than you would expect because of the slower release of their alcohol as they melt in your belly. Less of a tough sell, more of a tough morning…

Obviously some people have nothing better to do than find drink receipe’s that use good old Alcohol!
Apparently, they are all in excellent health, having not yet been hit by Liquors many side-kicks……
Which are you ask ?????
Oh my, I’d love to let you know !!!!
Here’s just a few:
-Permanent Grand Mal Seizures
-Near Complete Deafness
-Near Complete Rotted Liver
-Near Complete Blindness
(Oh, lets not forget a favourite:)
-Severe Heart Attacks
So, when you buy your next bottle, just remember, it may cost a lot of money, but when it comes to destroying your health, sometimes it takes a lot of cash & a few years, but don’t worry, it will hit you eventually !!!

Not a tough sell at all, as Marty says. Jello shots were popular as far back as 20 years ago to my own knowledge, and probably longer. They are a way for people who don’t really like the taste of alcohol to get really drunk really quickly.

Way back in high school, for a girlfriend’s 18th birthday (achem), we made a mold of her breasts and made a giant vodka jello boob cake for her. It was a giggly hit. But absolutely silly and do not suggest anyone under 21 try it.
