Jello Snarfle

From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki

Jello Snarfle is a Quadfest (and Summerfest) 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.

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.

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." However, "snarfle" is not to be confused with "snarkle" (see meesh).

• Edit by Caro: I tried the snarfle thing, and it's true. I approached my best friend's older brother, who just completed his 4th year, and said snarfle. He told me to shut up and stop making him miss TIP.*

• Edit by Sarah: I tried the Snarfle thing on 2 Tipsters, and it didn't work. I think it kind of fazed out or something, because I never knew about it until Zach told me.*
