A Look back at the World of Stewpendous Trivia in June:
June was packed with trivia fun at our favorite spaces and our new awesome spaces! We launched a brand new trivia show at Kibbitznest in Lincoln Park! We celebrated the biggest summer movie, Inside Out 2, with several Pixar-themed trivia nights at Replay and Sidetrack. We ended the month celebrating pop sensation Chappell Roan with trivia that had her biggest fans dressed in their Pink Pony best, we got quizzical and ended in a dance party where we danced the night away. The month would not have been complete without our Rainbow celebration throughout our shows celebrating LGBTQIA+ trailblazers, icons, and pop culture legends.
The biggest highlight of the month was our Sparkle Squad Hosts Amanda and Dane got married! Love was felt everywhere and you can’t ask for a better prize than that.
Fun Fact of the Month!
One in 18 people have a third nipple. Known as polythelia, the third nipple is caused by a mutation in inactive genes.

Summer Strawberry Shortcake Jell-O Shots!
She was an icon of the 80s! If you had one of these dolls you still remember the smell!
INGREDIENTS FOR STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE JELL-O SHOTS: (from Delish)
70 large strawberries (about 3 lb.)
1 (3-oz.) box strawberry Jell-O
1 c. boiling water
1 c. vodka
1/2 c. granulated sugar, for rimming strawberries
Reddi-Wip, for garnish
Crushed Nilla Wafers, for garnish
Using a paring knife, cut the tops and tips of the strawberries off so they can stand up and no longer have stems. Using a melon baller, create wells in the strawberries, being careful not to make any other holes. Discard insides.
In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-o and water until completely dissolved. Add vodka and whisk to combine.
Dip each strawberry in sugar, then carefully pour Jell-o mixture into strawberries. Refrigerate until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
Top with Reddi-wip and sprinkle with Nilla Wafers.
