The habit gets a new name.

Pat McAfee’s generosity was a surprise, especially after his poor treatment at Rocco’s. The Jello Shot Challenge has lost its luster, with premade shots and big business ruining the competition. McAfee’s donation was a class move, rewarding the employees for their hard work. The Jello Shot Challenge has become a competition among high-profile boosters, rather than a fun experience for fans.

Big business has ruined the Jello Shot Challenge, and now it’s just a numbers game.
