When it comes to the Rocco's Jell-O shot challenge.

Just think of all the Jell-O & corn dogs consumed. May God have mercy on the Omaha sewer system.

Woohoo. A celebration of binge drinking at a college sporting event.

Pretty sure theres like 1/8 of a shot in each one of those $5 jello shots, so you're not binge drinking unless you drop soem serious cash.

Lighten up Frances. I hope that is all they win. You have to give them credit for showing up and drinking. We went last year & didn't buy a single Jell-O shot. Ag's finished second in the shots and unfortunately second at the CWS. Jell-O doesn't go with what I usually like to drink.

The shot costs $5
$3 goes to Rocco's
$1 goes to the Omaha Food Bank
$1 goes to the food bank in the school's city

So young people binge drinking isn't dangerous behavior if the money is going to charity? I think you've missed my point.

It ain't young people, it's 35+ year olds buying those shots.

Who cares? This is like bragging about how many beers you drank at a party to make yourself feel like you are tougher than everyone else, but you are the only person that is keeping track or that cares. Rocco is a genius for starting this as he is the one that is winning.

Success for Rocco's yes. For the so called charitable donations…..scam. Free publicity for Rocco's to earn $3 on every hello shot that costs a fraction of the sales price. People are dumb.

How are the charitable donations a scam? Are you saying they are lying and not donating what they are claiming to?

Are you aware of how expensive the overhead is when a business carries a mixed beverage license (i.e. license, insurance, taxes, etc.)?? There's a reason alcoholic drinks are marked up as much as they are, and it's not because they're making massive profits. $3 per shot is quite reasonable.

Look If we were in Omaha this year again, you would want us donating $1,000/day to not drink shots.

They're making the jellos for $0.02 a pop and selling them for $5. Not to mention the lack of alcohol in them.

Did the Omaha food bank or the local city's food bank chip in for the liquor, ingredients, labor, payroll and business taxes, liability, insurance and more to receive their money?

Your definition of a scam is quite interesting.

Exactly. People know exactly what they are paying for, and getting exactly what they want. Scam is the last word that comes to mind (unless you don't know the meaning of scam).

A chunk of the shots you see on the board are never even consumed, folks pay for a bunch of them to help run up the count

Huh?? The primary topic of conversation on this thread is how this contest is encouraging binge drinking (debatable, but beside the point). Less than a typical drink? Sure. But they're certainly not lacking alcohol.

My point is the vast majority of alcohol revenue isn't to pay for the cost of ingredients, but to pay for the massive overhead of not only carrying a liquor license, but for running a bar.

Rocco's is making out like a bandit. These things are cheap shots with crap vodka made in bulk at some facility in like Tennessee. And like I said, they don't even have to serve all of them because folks just pay to run up the count.

That doesn't make it a scam. You know exactly what you're paying for or quickly figure it out after one or two

Also this is the only two weeks where they get this kind of business, this covers them for the whole year basically

It's definitely a smart business move on Rocco's part. Our definitions of "making out like a bandit" probably differ, so I won't debate it.

All I know is the energy at Rocco's during the CWS last year was fun. Who cares if the shot is $5, and who cares if Rocco's is making $3 off of each shot. Go into any bar and tell me the liquor/beer/wine is not marked up.

Rocco's is about the experience. If you don't want to participate, fine, but last year the race for #1 was an absolute blast. I'd do it all again.

I mean, you have to respect it. Lord knows if anyone would know they weren't gonna get drunk off Jell-O shots, it's LSU fans. Just out there swinging dck for no real reason.

One could argue that it took a lot of underage binge drinking to train these middle aged coon asses to dominate this Jell-O shot contest.

Also worth noting, the 200K that LSU spent on Jell-O shots this week is more than the CC coach makes in a year.

Have you had one? They don't have a lot of alcohol.
