Jello Snarfle
Jello Snarfle is a Quadfest, Summerfest, PITfest, and EPIC/BREK/DAWGfest event where the TIPster must run up to a bowl of jello, lie down on his or her stomach, and shove his or her face in the jello and eat it all without hands. It is MUCH harder than it appears. A surprisingly large amount of jello will fit in a plastic bowl and it must basically be inhaled without gagging to win. People participating have been trained rigorously by their fellow teammates to swallow the jello as fast as 3-4 seconds. You must be warned though, it can be NASTY jello, depending on which campus you go to.
The word "snarfle" has become a TIP word of sorts. Like saying "llama" to East Term II people, if you say "snarfle" to any TIPster, they'll react in awe that you too are a TIPster. In the words of Jeffrey Goetz, "If you think someone is a TIPster, say 'snarfle' to them. If they're a TIPster, they'll react to you. If they're not, they'll just think you're strange."
Not to be confused with "snarkle" (see meesh).
[edit] Cancellation
At Term II 2010, Jello Snarfle was announced as cancelled. TiPsters were outraged. When the staff was asked why, they gave a medley of responses. One RC, Amanda of UGA, said the following: "The first term, and last year too, there was too much throwing up. TiPsters were barfing everywhere. That's not something the administration wants. So they sent out an official notice banning Jello Snarfle. Sorry guys." Although, the following year, 2011, Jello Snarfle was reintroduced. The one year cancellation was rather puzzling, but generally overlooked.
[edit] Duke East
At East II 2003, there was a variation called Jello Snarfle, Extreme. The extreme part consisted of chili powder and oyster sauce mixed in the jello. The result was much vomiting.
