J-E-L-L-O

Improve Your Get-together! Diversify…

Every time people come over you have the usual, few cases of beer, and a generic mixed drink. Let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this setup, keeping it basic is smart and easy. On occasion, however, the opportunity presents itself when you should go above and beyond normal, like when you have to impress some people, socials are starting to get redundant, or some people just are not fans of the limited drink selection. Normally, it would be suggested to do what you do best and not change things up, because up until now it has been working for you, but if it hasn’t there is a way to keep your traditions but add something new. It isn’t new in the sense that you have never heard of it, but maybe you shouldn’t wait for a special occasion to bust them out. I am talking about Jell-O Shooters! But not just your regular vodka shooters, I mean trying a new style. Through one of the great inventions of the internet, Stumble©, I came across this Jell-O Shooter experiment. On this website, myscienceproject, there is a number of Jell-O shot related articles along with some other very interesting articles. It is a good plan to get some ideas from these articles. You might just impress some people, and at the least, experimenting with these Jell-O shooters will make you feel good (get you drunk).
