Hell-No, Jell-O!
Do you like Jell-O?
The other day I was shopping for milk and what not, and I saw a special on Jell-O — two packs for a dollar. Is that a good deal or what? We're talking a Canadian dollar, commonly referred to as a Loonie, because it's a coin with a loon engraved on the front. Probably not worth much in your currency.
Now, I don't usually buy Jell-O, because it's full of sugar. Oh yes, I know there is a sugar free kind, but they make that with aspartame. I don't eat aspartame. I did when it first came out, but it makes me schizophrenic, which may not always be a bad place to be, but I'm really trying to keep my personality integrated. I have enough crazy characters from my stories running around in my head, so it gets a little difficult remembering who I am sometimes.
So, the reason I bought this Jell-O was because it was Margarita flavour. I don't drink alcohol, and I have no idea what a Margarita is supposed to taste like, but somehow the whole idea of Jell-O made to mimic a cocktail appealed to me.
Of course, the whole concept of Jell-O-as-cocktail seems a bit strange. I mean, isn't Jell-O mostly a dessert for kids? Should the Jell-O people be concerned with the idea of introducing 4-year-olds to the pleasures of a Margarita? I wonder if there is a Singapore Sling flavour? Whiskey Sour? Gimlet? Harvey Wallbanger? Sex On The Beach?
Nothing like starting alcoholics off early ...
Oh, where will it all end?
