1. And I quote:

"The gelatin was turned over to the sheriff's department for testing to see if it contained alcohol."


Just taste one you dorks! :evilgrin:

[Inland]

2. Are they still Jello Shots if there is no alcohol?

If there isn't alchohol, aren't they just little squares of jello?
Is this a question for educators, drinkers, or my mom the midwestern mother of five?

3. I can see a serious problem if those jell-o shots contained alcohol

12. i see a SERIOUS problem is there is NO alcohol :) n/t

4. The Cafeteria Lady at my son's school should be arrested.

She sells frozen pickle juice to the kids in jello shot cups.

The horror!

[fnottr]

5. ummmm.....

she's 8 and she either brought actual liquor to school, or she was going to lie to other kids and tell them she was selling them liquor. Generally schools don't like that much.

Edit:

suppose a kid brought a bag of oregano to school, tried to pass it off as pot and sell it, this is the same sort of situation.

6. But...it's NEW ORLEANS!

Have you BEEN to New Orleans?

:shrug:

[fnottr]

7. no

but I know it's the reputation, the school still has rules though

[mondo joe]

11. It's not clear she was going to tell the other kids they contained alcohol

Unless I missed that in the story.

[fnottr]

19. well, the story was kinda short

The fourth-grader said her mother had instructed her to take the shots to school and sell them, three for $1, to make some money for Christmas, Nowakowski said.

that's what I was going off of

8. Good, she got what she deserved.

The little drunkard.

10. Testnig her hair for signs of drug use? "Look at that doo! She must be

Testnig her hair for signs of drug use? "Look at that doo! She must be on CRACK!"

I do it all the time.

[bleedingheart]

13. Okay...her mom asked her to take them to school to sell them..

that is completely screwy.

[JVS]

20. I thought so too, but it seems that outside of the Pittsburgh area...

selling stuff at school is ok from what some DUers have been telling me.

[BurtWorm]

17. They ought to suspend her over Jell-O shots for that.

[BRLIB]

21. She deserves an honorary doctorate at the

Bartending College of the Americas!

22. Shouldn't the parent be in trouble instead of the kid?!

I mean, she's the one who told him to take them to school and make Christmas money!

23. Good point. The kid was just doing what her mom told her to do.

Obeying her mother.
