The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
St. Patrick’s Day approaches, and besides green beer, you’ll want your booze to stick with the theme. And, what better way to do that, than with Pot o’ Gold Jello Shots.
Brought to us by Delish, the “gold” is made possible with pineapple Jell-o infused with Jameson Whiskey. Top that with a dollop of Cool Whip and a rainbow candy belt, and you just may see a leprechaun on the other side. Depending on how many of these you throw down.
Forty years ago today, a movie was released that would change cinema and pop culture forever. It was also around this time that it was still acceptable to suspend stuff inside Jell-O.
So, the Star Wars Battle of Yavin in Gelatin makes perfect sense. Brought to us by Jenn Fujikawa of Just Jenn Recipes, the battle scene is made possible with gelatin, the proper molds, and a bundt cake pan. The best part, is that the X-wings, Tie Fighters and Death Star are all made from gelatin too.
Happy Birthday, Star Wars.

What is it about Jell-O that is still so endearing to us? Is it its assortment of colors? Its gigglyness? Its ability to help us suspend other food items within it?
Or, perhaps we’ve kept the gelatin dessert around so long, just to see it getting smashed with a tennis racquet in slo-mo? I go with that last one.
The Slo-Mo Guys are here to do just that. After making a few gelatinous blobs, the Brits play a little Jelly Tennis. The results are beyond our expectations, as the jelly is slowly obliterated as it passes through the strings of the racquet.
This also becomes the only time that we wish there was stuff in our Jell-O. Please watch this…
Brooklyn-based artists Lisa Hein and Robert Seng create jiggly walls made of Jello.
Bruise (pictured above) is the latest Jello wall built by the duo. It was assembled over three weeks using Jello and mortar mixed — cooked and assembled on site, with lower layers decaying early on in the process. All in all, it’s just another jello brick in the wall.
Jello shots are a good time… Therefore a Jello Shot Cake is like Mardi Gras plus Carnivale times a million.
Made by layering several colors of jello and adding booze — the rainbow of drunkenness will also test your patience, as every layer must be hardened in the fridge, one intoxicating level at a time.
