Jello shots are cubes or cups of jello containing
some sort of liquor.
- 1 6-ounce package of gelatin (flavored or unflavored -- you decide)
- 16 ounces (2 cups) boiling water
- 6 ounces cold water
- 10 ounces 80-proof Alcohol
In a bowl, mix boiling water with the powdered gelatin until fully dissolved.
Give it at least a minute to fully activate the gelatin.
Let gelatin cool for five or ten minutes to reduce alcohol vapor loss.
Stir in cold water and alcohol.

Mother nature's superficial jungle juice in a somewhat wiggly, jiggly, gelatinous state, most often made with Everclear vodka or some other bottom-shelf, plastic container of cheap vodka, to be consumed in adorable, tiny, plastic, disposable cups.
We made wiggly, jiggly jello shots to honor the addition of a baby squirrel monkey to the family, and even the squirrel monkey consumed them with glee, scooping the jello shot out of the tiny cup with his tiny fingers.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
