What was our jello shot record last year in Omaha at Rocco's?

2965 based on this. Follow them on Twitter. They'll shatter the record this year.

An Arkansas fan rented out the entire bar all yesterday afternoon for Arkansas fans only. Ole Miss got over 2000 last night too at one point after the Arkansas fans left, My guess is one Ole Miss fan bought a 1000 jello shots just to get them back into contention.

Exactly right. I would not do 1 based on principle and having a penis and the fact that it's not whiskey... but $4.50 x 2000 is just good business

You’d take them there. Last year it was everyone taking them. We were there when the record broke. It was a good time

Mad props to the bar for taking advantage of jackass OM fans’ ego.

The only way the Jello shot record should be official is if you hit the number AND win the championship on the field.

Anything less is a plastic victory and means absolutely zero.

You all know dang well Ole Miss will hang a banner if they break the jell-o shot record, even if they don’t win another game in Omaha.

I'm just hoping that's the only meaningful banner they get to hang.

This new record will have an asterisk. I have a reliable source telling me Rocco’s ran out of Jello brand gelatin and is now using Great Value brand gelatin. Thus, not a true “Jell-O shot” any longer. Sorry, Hogs. The record is still ours.

I saw something similar at Rum Runner’s in the Sandestin Resort Baytown Wharf many summers ago. They had some band up there playing and they would declare, as an example, “This is an Alabama Crimson Tide Bar!!!!” and then play the Alabama fight song for a small $50 fee. And oh, you want this to be an LSU bar? Then pool some money from your group and give us $75, and now we will forget that whole Bama bar thing and play your fight song into our program. They just raked money in all night from drunk SEC fans trying to “win” this.

Jell-O shots are for girls. But man, what a brilliant idea by Rocco’s.

The 30-30 on JelloShotGate is gonna be a blast.

Also putting it on social media is genius. What is the cheapest way to make bulk jello shots? I'm curious as to the cheapest liquor you can put in jello? Sitting here trying to guess what their cost per jello shot is

I'm guessing any bottom shelf vodka would do the trick. Top it off with Great Value Jello and the cost is mainly in the cup.

That may have been a running gig from them because they did it when I was there one time too. Don't think they were asking for progressive tips. I think basically they'd switch back and forth for $20 or $25. This was probably 15 years ago. Saw them make probably $125 in ten minutes flipping back and forth between rocky top and Bama. Left because it was annoying as ****. I'd have been a little pissed if I was the owners. We couldn't have been the only people that went elsewhere because they wanted to hear something besides fight songs.

I’d say a conservative guess would be they are making $4 per shot.

also did you see they have a sign by the leaderboard that says $20 minimum on all credit card purchases there? That almost guarantees 4 shots <$4.50 x 4 = $18> and a tip of $2 every single time.

To each his own. If anyone wants to buy 2 oz non-alcoholic “beverages” at $4 a pop, that’s their business.

Two full time people in the back making the shots probably yes

$35000 revenue in 5 days maybe off Jell-O shots. 80% of that is gross profit probably.

This is from Rocco’s twitter. Someone was bored before they had too many and did some math.
View attachment 24622

Do the math on that:

1.75 L = 1,750 mL
1.750 mL / 150 shots = 11.67 mL per shot
1 fl oz = 29.57mL

So, that’s a little over 1/3 of an ounce of liquor in one shot, and more appropriately less than 1/4 of the standard amount of 1.5 oz in a standard shot or mixed drink. And that’s assuming they are actually following the recipe…..knowing damn well when they get crowded, it gets later at night, or when supplies start running short they will probably be putting 1/2 or 1/4 the prescribed amount of liquor (not like anyone is going to know the difference). You’re paying out the *** for 2 oz of semi-solid sugar water.

They don't make them. We were there last year and they are those store bought shots. Taste like cough syrup....
