    Everything seems interesting but I’m gonna have to go with the Lime Margarita Jello Shots. How could one celebrate a Mexican holiday without something ‘Margarita.’

    I’d love to have the Lime Margarita Jello Shots! They sound delicious and what’s a Mexican holiday without something ‘Margarita.’ I’m sure they’ll inspire me to sing Mariachi songs
