Don't look, TASTE!!!!!

The Jello is Cherry/Strawberry/Orange/Lemon with sweet milk layers in between. It tastes kind of like a 50/50 bar. People couldn't stop eating it. One of my cousins kept telling her kid to eat some real food. He grabbed another 3 pieces of Jet Set Jello instead. She looked at me accusingly and said "Did you make this?"

If you really want to knock the Jello out of the park, use the corresponding fresh JUICE for the Jello you are making instead of plain water: fresh squeezed orange juice for a box of orange Jello, etc. Fresh lemon in the lemon Jello. I tried this once, it was REALLY time consuming but tasted intense and amazing. Maybe 1/2 water, 1/2 juice would work too, don't know.

On a totally different note, I've noticed that people put down Tiki food in general (kahlua pork, ribs island style, marinated fish, spam musubi, tropical & rum flavored desserts) until they actually try them. We're all in the know about this stuff, but regular schmoes look at you askance (when's the last time you read the work askance?!?!? This is fun!) when you shove a piece of Tropical Rum Cake their way. Then they taste it and it's like giving heroin to a librarian. They just ain't prepared for the explosion of flavor, and then they pretend that they liked it all the time and were just joshing about not wanting any.

Then they ask for ANOTHER HUGE FREAKING PIECE.

Finally, does anybody have any experience using this stuff; -

Somebody did a slow-cooked brisket using it and it was AWESOME.
