Jell-O world.

I tell Tony to get Jell-O at the store because you know this is pot luck season at work, and you can't have an office pot luck without Jell-O, right?

So he asks me what flavor Jell-O to get, and I say "I don't know. Just whatever looks Christmassy."

Well, he gets me a couple of boxes of strawberry. OK, that's fine. Red dye number 11. Very seasonal.

But wait. He also gets me a box of Key Lime and a box of Berry Blue. And I needed to mix them together to make enough Jell-O to cover the Jell-O-infused Twinkie Christmas tree that I was making for the office party.

Do you know what happens when you mix Key Lime and Berry Blue Jell-O and pour it on top of Twinkies?

One big jiggly urinal cake, that's what happens.

Thank goodness some of the helpdesk guys got drunk enough to eat it.
