What is the best flavor jello to go swimming in?

lime.

Mmm, I’d go with orange personally.

I’d go with a blue jello

or, you could just get tons of cubed jello with all sorts of different colors!

Orange

12 layer it

You’d be my hero if you made a swimming pool sized layered Jello mold.

they do have a champagne jello….

Blue is not a flavor. Berry Blue is a flavor.

I am not sure, but I can probably guess what it will taste like afterwards.

Orange or Cherry

Beer flavoured Jello

Mmm No sure I would be eating it (can’t stand eating the stuff, especially if swimming in it!)
However I lurve the smell of LIME jelly so I’ll go with lime :)
Let me know when you achieve this coz I’ll be there with my cozzie on waiting to dive straight in xx

@sakura it does sound fun, don’t it?

@RandomMrdan I like that, that would be a trip!

@prude defo ;)

Blue Houdini, hands down

Similar to @eponymoushipster‘s champagne suggestion, they also have piña collada and margarita… A pool full of alcoholic jello is probably the only thing better than a pool full of non-alcoholic jello. (Plus it’s a fast way to make your party REALLY fun!)

Lemon. It also the best flavor cake to sleep on, the best flavor ade to bath in and the best scented fruit to clean with.

don’t forget to add chunks of banana or mandarin oranges!

@fireinthepriory….And what could be better on jello than a liberal application of real whipped cream, out of one of those aerosal cans, not that imitation Cool Whip crap! I mean, we are entitled aren’t we, by degree?

Water Flavor.

We ARE going in without suits, right?

P.S. Something tells me you’ll need a color that blends well with yellow.

I seriously want to do this! Any flavor is great if you add alcohol. I’m a cherry fan.

@whatthefluther We most certainly are! And if there’s whipped cream involved then this party is really getting good. :)

I’m in too!
Edit:: I’ll bring the real whipped cream!!

Vanilla

Lime please.

We are skinny dipping aren’t we?

My mom was one of the chosen ones by a radio station to ‘swim?’ in a huge pool of jello to find a key. It was a contest to win a car. There were only 5 keys, unfortunally the one she found did not unlock the car. I remember that jello being red. Being around 6 years old at the time, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world and I Guess I still do!

@Saturated_Brain , I am! I don’t care what others might be doing!!

Lime or Cherry. :)

geez, stop it with all the sexual shit. geez.~

Keep the filter off, as Jell-O will ruin a perfectly good pool filter. Hell, adding shampoo to a hot tub will destroy the filter system.

@SirBailey It’s gonna be a funny feeling no doubt! It might even be extremely interesting.

@eponymoushipster Geez and shit? You’re disgusting man.

@Saturated_Brain lol

USE PUDDING JELLO!!! noone can see through that lolololol

‘Nother vote for orange…

I have a feeling that I’ve seen the question somewhere before…

@boots Yep orange is the best!!

oh thank you all!!!
yes, alcohol added to the jello mix and real whipped cream and I will also make sure it is cubed w/multi flavors (seems lime is a winner and I like lime) and no trunks or suits allowed.
I will make sure to have the filter removed or buy a new one.
now. any suggestions on where we can get this done?
volunteers?

What about the back of a truck?? You don’t have to buy a filter and when you want to get rid of all the mess you can just open the back and let it all wash down.
Edit:: Or my neighbors pool, I freaken hate that guy!!

@Tink1113 well, I guess that would work, but, I don’t think it would be as fun as an in ground pool
maybe if the company was right
big jello shot truck!
haha

Refresh

@boots yeah, you saw it in my honesty box (which you didn’t answer) and you saw it in my post dealy on face book

It’s approaching 4:45AM here in Los Angeles and I am wide awake, having taken a lengthy nap earlier in the day. So, I check in on this jello question only to find that @prude wanted to fill a pool with jello but does not even own a pool leaving it up to the rest of us jello loving jellies to find an available one. Well I can’t help there, but thought it might be interesting to see how many boxes of jello it would take to set up an average sized residential outdoor below ground swimming pool. Here goes (I trust my math and conversions are correct):

Since we have no pool dimensions (thanks @prude) I’ll just go with a 12’ by 24’ rectangular pool with an average water depth of 42”. Per this website, our pool contains 7560 gallons. Using @robmandu‘s link to the Amazon jello listing for Berry Blue jello, repeated here, we are looking at 3-Ounce boxes of jello, the typical size one would find in the pantry of nearly every jelly.

A 3-Ounce box of jello powder will make two cups of jello. Our 7560 gallon pool contains 120,960 cups of water, so we will need 60,480 3-Ounce boxes to fill the pool. Amazon sells these boxes for $20.66 for 24 boxes. The cost to fill our yet to be located pool would be $52,063.

If we were to do this on a regular basis, Amazon has a “Subscribe & Save” Program . If we join in on that and order the jello say twice a year, the discount provided would reduce the cost to $44,251 per fill.

I’m confident that at least one of the participating jellies is a shrewd buyer and will get us a better price by buying the jello in bulk. But never fear….inasmuch as this was @prudes idea I’m certain you will support the idea that the first fill will be @prude‘s treat! After that, we might want to consider a smaller above ground pool or, as @Tink1113 suggests, fill the back of a truck bed. But what kind of party is that, if we have to take turns swimming! . See ya…..wtf

@whatthefluther awwww shucks
ok, maybe we can all chip in?
the next problem would be making it, it has to be boiled then refrigerated, right?

Just buy those little boxes and stir!

@prude….I know we can work something out. Yes, we’ll need someone with a 4000 gallon storage tank on a flat bed so we can pull half the water out of the pool. Then we’ll need a way to heat the remaining half. We’ll need to find some one with a water heater on a flat bed, who can circulate the pool water through a heat exchanger. Once that is up to temperature, we dump 60,480 boxes of jello into the pool and somehow, stir it all until dissolved (maybe someone good on a jetski….gotta be good….don’t want to fall in that hot water). Once dissolved we return the other half of cold water to the pool, mix it in then let it set. The time will depend on weather.We won’t need to refrigerate but a bunch of blocks of ice will help speed up the setting process. See ya….wtf
PS: Even tho you don’t have a pool, I think you have a great idea, here, and I look forward to helping to make it happen! We are in the middle of another drought in L.A., so this area is out.

@whatthefluther I’m in ak, not good here.

@prude….I think we best consider a slightly smaller above ground pool as it would be more practical, less costly and might even be a bit more cozy. See ya….wtf

@whatthefluther it would only need to be big enough for the ones that actually want to dive in so we could all be in it together:)

what about that gellibaff stuff would this work out cheaper??
http://www.gellibaff.co.uk/
It’s like swimming in jelly it’s so cool and it won’t block the drains coz you just add thereversal stuff and it turns back into water like magic !!! :)

Someone has to have a business/tax ID that allows them to buy things at truckload prices. A semi truck load or two of Jell-O would be much cheaper, I’m guessing.

The answer is clear. We all have to go on our respective cities’ Freecycle lists and ask for people’s jello! Maybe we can use Craig’s List, too. If people have old jello, we will come take it off their hands until we’ve amassed enough to fill whatever pool we decide is the lucky one. I know I have one package of it at home already! (It’s orange.)

@fireinthepriory I have a box as well, mine is raspberry (no wonder my kids haven’t been asking for any lately)
@sakura I think that might work, but don’t want to “swim” in jelly, want Jello it is gelatin.

@prude Honesty box?

@boots fb

jelly in the uk is jello we call your version of jelly – jam!! I reckon everyone should bring their own box that way we share the cost :) I have a strawberry in my cupboard

@sakura thank you, I had no idea!!!

no worries things are different whereever you go thats what makes life so interesting :)

Why don’t we just use strawberry jelly?

As in jelly like English jam.

Cause it sucks! JK
Idk they want alcohol in it or something

You can add alcohol to anything, even if it is flammable already, like gasoline. Just don’t drink it!

Alright then…

@fred and tink
um, I don’t wanna catch fire!

@Fred931 actually, there’s a student who did research on exactly how much vodka you can add to jell-o and maintain consistency. quite interesting stuff. Check it out

the testing must have been rough~

@prude It wasn’t me who suggested gasoline it was that Fred guy

how about a mixture of baby oil, lime jello and k-y jello? with a slice of @eponymoushipster mixed in? ooooohhhhhh yeahhhhhhh

I like the idea of alcholic jello (jelly) but not sure I would want to eat it after swimming in in. Maybe have a pool full of normal jelly (jello) and have one of those floating bars in the middle so you an ‘swim’ for your drink or even ask for a pot of alcholic jello (jelly)

@sakura ha I’d totally want that pot :)

@eponymoushipster Conceited much?~

@Tink1113 not at all. want to share my smooth, sexy vibe.

Lol
