Kimmi's Notes:

You can use any size fish bowl or tank....kids love it & adults do too!

 

Directions

1
Place 1 1/2 C soda in a large bowl. Sprinkle jell-o evenly over soda & let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
2
Place 2 C soda in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just before a boil. Add the softened jell-o, stirring to dissolve the jell-o completely over the heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the remaining soda & stir to combine.
3
In fish bowl, add assorted color pop rocks (I like using red, blue, green & purple); mix well so it looks like rocks on the bottom of the fish bowl. Also add any fish tank decorations, if using.
4
Pour the liquid into the fish bowl. Add fish & octopus, if using & stir. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight. Lightly stiring every hour for the first 2 hours, just to make sure the fish look like they are swimming. But make sure the pop rocks & other decorations don't move.
5
Keep refrigerated until serving. Serve within 6 hours.

I used to make this often when I worked in Pediatrics for us Ped's staff. It was great! I had forgotten all about it until I was going through my cake pans & came across my fish bowl!
