Chewable Liquor

[John Lindsey]

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean brewer has come up with an alternative way for people to enjoy their favorite tipple -- ''chewable liquor.''

Kooksoondang Brewery Co. said Friday it had developed a gelatin form of its popular Paeksaejoo rice wine, a mild version of South Korea's fiery soju liquor.

``We were looking for new ways to consume traditional liquor,'' a company spokesman told Reuters.

``But so far, we don't have concrete plans to market the product and consumer surveys are under study,'' he said.

South Korea and Japan are co-hosting this year's soccer World Cup in May. The company said it planned to take a decision on the new product before the end of January.

Reminds me of the Jelly-Beer that was for sale some years back.

Came and went within 1 year. :cry:

Gee, when I was in college, we called it "vodka jello"!

HI Joe.

Your "Vodka Jello" sounds like what we called "Slimer" or a "Toxic sludge".

My favorite was Golden Tequila and Orange Jelly.
Used to make them at home.

Back home in Oklahoma we used to cut a small hole in a watermelon and let a bottle of Vodka soak into the meat of the melon. Let it sit for a couple of hours cut it open serve it at parties.
