CWS Jello Shot Competition

[unfrozencvmanvol]

We need to step it up.

That bar has a marketing genius on staff. Look at all that drinking by TCU, Oral Roberts and Wake. And it's only one day.

 

[SATX VOL]

The record was set by Ole Miss last year with 18,777. I’ll be there today to add on to ours. GO VOLS!!

$40,000.00+ in jello shot sales?

I want that bar.

We need to step it up.

We weren't playing yesterday, probably why we are so low.

Did some back of the envelope math...

Jello shooter recipes normally call for 1/3 ounce of vodka per shooter.

A jug handle size of vodka has about 60 ounces in it and (cheap stuff) sells for $15 (including tax).

The 8,000 shooters sold at this bar would take about 44 jug handles of vodka to make. Round this up to 50.

50 bottles of vodka x $15/each = $750.

Total revenue = $40,000
Cost of vodka = $750

I want that bar.

Neither was LSU or Wake Forest.

You forgot the jello and the plastic cups

You forgot the jello and the plastic cups

We got additional variable costs and fixed costs.

Regardless, that's killer gross profit margin.

Feeling like I should open a bar here in the Outer Banks.

 

[VetVol]

I think LSU is going to be hard to beat. Bunch of drunk cajuns in Omaha no doubt.

Man, I am definitely not against alcohol consumption, but $5 Jell-O shots….I don’t feel it’s a badge of honor to be the fanbase to throw the most money away on those.

I don't understand what it proves only that your state is full of alcoholism lol

 

[NEO]

I don't understand what it proves only that your state is full of alcoholism lol

Hence, LSU will run away with this.

I laughed. Funny way to describe it!

The genius is that they are selling bottom-shelf spirits at a top-shelf price.

I think the bar makes a donation to the top two teams‘ food banks…

BUT…the lion’s share is pure profit for the bar. I’d rather contribute directly to a food bank. It’s a masterpiece of marketing tho!

 

[chuckiepoo]

Heard LSU was over 10K already!

I don't get it either. 1 Ultra per day does it for me. I like Control better than stupidity.

Louisiana is a Hepatologist's paradise.

We get our Corn and JELL-O from a jar

And the labor to put it all together. The electricity to run the refrigerators, etc. etc. etc.

How a Jell-O shot challenge became the second-biggest event in Omaha
