101 Things to Do With a Gel Pouch...Almost

"What in Merlin's name is a Gel Pouch??" you ask. A simple device really, invented by yours truly, meant to change the color of a strand of lights. Basically, a folded over piece of gel held together with some gaff and then slid on the light bulb. Yeah, I probably wasn't the first person to think of this, but they didn't work anyway. Started smoking and melting with in a couple minutes... But after spending an entire afternoon making 40+ of these things in various colors, I couldn't just let my failure rest at potential arson. Oh no, instead we came up with a list of 101 things to do with our now surplus of gel pouches. Enjoy!

A lot of them are just "things that could fit in a gel pouch" and we never made it to 101, but I am quite proud of a few. Also, there never was a 55, beginnings of the "amonia bun phenomenon"? I'd like to think so.
