Why do I love Jell-O? I have always loved Jell-O. My mom served Jell-O when I was a child, plain and in other ways. To me Jell-O is like some sort of Zen food, both relaxing and fun. It’s a happy food that makes you feel good with its jiggly texture and many colorful flavors. And then there’s Jell-O with fruit and Jell-O molds. What’s not to love? Plus, plus there’s no shortage of Jell-O. With all the bad things going on today, God knows we can all use more relaxation and fun. So, I recommend Jell-O. Let’s all have some Jell-O. In fact, the World neeeeds Jell-O. Why, with Jell-O we could find world peace or, as my mother would say, “A cure for all that ails us”(perhaps even Covid 19).
Did You Know:
Did you know that Jell-O was invented in 1897 by Pearle Bixby Wait?
Did you know that Jell-O is the largest selling prepared dessert and is popular worldwide?
Did you know that Jell-O is Utah’s official State food?
Did you know that Gelatin, the primary ingredient to Jell-O, is rich in protein, and has a unique amino acid profile that gives it many potential health benefits? There is evidence that gelatin may reduce joint and bone pain, increase brain function and help reduce the signs of skin aging.
Did you know that Jell-O, or gelatin, is another virus-friendly food? Gelatin is easy on the stomach, and it helps keep your blood sugar regulated, giving you the energy you need to fight off your sickness.
There is no end to the interesting things to know about Jell-O, but I leave you with this tip from the official report of Dick Solomon, the High Commander of the troops in 3rd Rock from the Sun, describing how to deal with an unsuspecting serving of Jell-O:
“What To Do When You Encounter Jell-O:
1. Never let it see you’re afraid. Jell-O loves this.
2. Smile. Say you are a friend, you come in peace.
3. Reason with it.
4. Offer it a gift.
5. Find out what it wants.
6. Let it see you have no weapons.
7. If it continues to jiggle menacingly, Stab it to death with a kitchen knife and throw it in the sink.”

Lol I love jello too!! The world does need jello😀😀
Do you lick any particular flavor?
Strawberry and cheery, with fruit.
The only time I have EVER liked Jell-o was when I would get a kid’s meal from Skipper’s. I do like marshmallows and they have gelatin in them. Kind of the same mouth explosion experience. 🙂
Hi, I haven’t posted in months, and just saw your comment. Thanks so much for following me, I really appreciate that.
It’s what friends do. Right? I gotta see your writing some how.
Speaking of writing, I started working on my book again. I’m tackling my experience living through the great earthquake in ’64, in Anchorage, Alaska. I was 10 years old then.
