I’m 52. And in my entire adult life I’ve never made Jello. How about you?
I was cleaning out my pantry last week and found 3 boxes of jello mix that were like 4 years old and I threw them out.
When I went grocery shopping, I was like “oh, yeah, I’m out of jello” and bought 3 more 🤦🏼♂️
Fucking never, the texture grosses me out
I keep some in the medicine cabinet. Gelatin can make a nice throat coating when you have a bad cough.
Do you eat it dry?!
Like a month ago. I made a jello chocolate fudge pudding pie with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was delicious.
Chocolate fudge pudding pie… that’s a dessert that just keeps on giving, I’d be so over that
Over it, or all over it? Those mean opposite things bc English is wack.
All over it, non native English speaker who loves chocolate
I will never make Jello for as long as I live. I feel like there’s some kind of dark, horrible secret behind its creation, like it’s made of ground up roaches and goat phlegm or something, and I just don’t want to know.
Gelatin, also known as hydrolyzed collagen, is made from primarily pig skins which are acid treated to break them down.
I specifically stated that I did not want to know, why would you do this to me
I make dog treats out of jello by adding chicken stock regularly. The stock comes from boiling rotisserie chicken leftovers. It costs about a dollar per batch. My dogs love it and it’s good for them
That’s an amazing idea that I’m going to steal
Help yourself, your pets will love you for it. A couple of tips if you don’t mind: I boil the rotisserie chicken carcass (or any kind of meat and bones) for 10 hours on very low heat and covered. It takes that long to extract nutrients. You can use canned stuff but it’s full of salt. I pour the whole thing into a pie tin (with gelatin) and sprinkle molasses yeast flakes on top. You can find this at health food stores. It’s got lots of nutritional benefits and if your pet ever suffers from a lack of appetite a little on top of their food may help. A little bit goes a long way. Bon appetit!
After learning the effects of food dyes, I haven’t had jello in over a decade.
Does Jell-O use food dyes?
Yes, most Jell-O contains artificial colors, including red 40, yellow 5, and yellow 6, which are derived from petroleum and may have negative health effects. Some say that these dyes may promote cancer because they contain benzidine, a known carcinogen. Red 40 is also a common ingredient in candy, cereal, baked goods, gelatin powder, drugs, and cosmetics. Some say that side effects of red 40 include hyperactivity, behavioral changes, allergic reactions, hives, asthma, sneezing, watery eyes, skin irritation, and migraines.
I make jello vaginas when I’m feeling lonely.
Adding a bit of fish sauce makes it pretty realistic, I think.
You need a hug.
And probably Jesus.
Nah, just a pussy.
