| − | :::I doubt the gelatin just added to the pool would work. It needs to be heated to dissolve, and it will melt/dissolve is reheated. But at room temperature, it gels. So I suspect dumping powdered gelatin in room temperature water would just sink. --[[User:blaisepascal|Blaise Pascal]]

| − | :::I don't think heat is ''required'' to dissolve Jell-o -- I think it just helps. Agitation (say, an Olympic swimming doing laps) should be sufficient. However, refrigeration helps a lot in gelling, so it'll take quite a while at room (actually outdoor) temperature. Then we have the question of Chlorine, which has a very high pH (very alkali). The acid (low pH) content of some fruits prevents gelling, so they can't be used with Jell-o. It's unclear what effect the caustic would have. --- [[User:jamescurran|James Curran]]

| − | Shouldn't aggravation of the jello as it solidifies turn it back into a liquid, or at least chunky liquid. Jason.

| − | I thought this comic was also a reference to Strong Bad Email #187 (http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/winter_pool) where Strong Bad and Homestar get stuck in a pool of jello, and the king of town has to come eat them out.

| − | Also, I like the image of Michael just unhinging his jaw to eat the entire pool, with maybe some tiling too. I casually do this with Jello cups sometimes. Freaks the hell out of my friends.
