Here's a prank that will get your family to pucker up! These berry "beverages" look inviting to sip, but they're actually gelatin that's tricky to suck through a straw, so keep some spoons handy.

It was okay. Maybe my kids were just too young to appreciate it!

easy to make, tastes great! So funny to watch people trying to suck it through the straws!!! I used red & green grapes cut in half instead of berries.

This was an awesome addition to my April Fool's meal tonight, all inspired by this website. Thanks for the idea! This one really fooled everyone.

These soda's were awesome! I used strawberries and blueberries. I really got my kids when they came home from school and said they were thirsty! Great recipe and my whole family loved them!

Great joke! Fooled everyone on staff with this ... told them I'd prepared a special, fruity drink to start our mornings. Staff includes 3 Diabetics, so I prepared with Sugar Free Gelatin ... perfect! Even fooled my youngest son with this and he has always LOVED April Fools' Day. Will definitely try again and use an assortment of different fruit. LadyEVP

I made this for a work meeting I had with a few of my fellow workers. They enjoyed it. Several even made a contest to see if they could actually suck the jello through the straws. This is something I will save and make again.Lilbearks

I've saved it to my recipe box, copied it and cannot wait to pull this one off on my grandkids. They will get such a kick out of this. Really fun idea. Thank you!

Why not use sugar free gelatin. It would reduce those carbs and make it a truly Light Dessert!

instead of blueberries and raspberries, it would be good with peaches and bananas too.
