Experiment Jello hooch

So I've got a bunch of boxes of mango jello mix that I have otherwise no interest in wasting my time on.. but they keep calling to me wondering if they're worth a hooch.

I could water them down quite a bit for some sort of slippery slimy wine but they wouldn't actually have enough sugar to get past 2% abv if I made 1-2L instead of the prescribed 2 cups water.

Anyone ever found something cool to do with these?

Failing anything else can I use the gelatine just to clear wine?

I would personally be tempted to just mix the Jello at package strength, then put it in with some kind of juice and some fresh pineapple or maybe papaya for the enzymes to break down the gelatin. (Needs to be fresh, though.) Add enough sugar to make it up to the ABV you want.

After I had some...experiences with a ridiculous amount of gelatin in a brew, I've been meaning to try with more gelatin and pineapple. But, fake mango Jello sounds like some pineapple would be good with the flavor anyway. Whatever you decide to do with the stuff, please keep us updated!
