Could Texas Be The Next State To Ban Jell-O Shots?
Jell-O shots are not just an important piece of college party life, adults love consuming this fun drink as well. Are Jell-O shots in danger of being banned in Texas? We have all the details.
You're probably thinking to yourself that this is ridiculous, however, another state has recently banned Jell-O shots and you know law makers love to pass legislation that they've seen enacted in other states. I'm sure there's at least one jabroni in the Texas Legislature that agrees with this ban.
New York recently banned "pre-mixed" drinks in bars and restaurants in their state.
According to the State Liquor Authority Handbook for Retail Licensees (ny.gov):
All alcoholic beverages must be dispensed from the container in which it was received from the licensed wholesaler. Refilling (including same brands), altering or tampering with the contents of any alcoholic beverage container is unlawful. Pre-mixing drinks (i.e. jello shots, test tube drinks, etc.) by the licensee, agent or his employees is also prohibited.
Realistically do I think this would ever become an issue taken up in the Texas Legislature? No, but crazier things have happened before.
