I know now why I haven't made Jello in over 20 years.
It sucks. Seriously...it's not very good, imo.
I made a double batch of "Strawberry" Jello
and added in 2 sliced bananas. Noticed right away
that I should have used 4 bananas... one per cup.

That said, the bananas and vanilla ice cream was a
very good combination but the Jello(tm) was annoying.
I ended up fishing out the banana parts and I
tossed all the leftover Jello-only parts.

I used to like it when I was a kid but no more.

Last night's snack was a banana only with a nip
of vanilla ice cream. That was very good.
No more Jello for me.

Disappointing news. The memories are often better than the reality. I
will still probably try it myself though. one time for old times sake.

I don't eat Jello as a single item, but I do use it as the basis for a
couple of congealed salads that we like.

I have enough of a sense of humour to recognize that Garry's attempts at

Well k00ky, since you asked nicely...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jell-O

Early history[edit]
Gelatin, a protein produced from collagen extracted from boiled bones,
connective tissues, and other animal products, has been a component of
food, particularly desserts, since the 15th century.[1]

Gelatin was popularized in the west in the Victorian era with
spectacular and complex "jelly moulds". Gelatin was sold in sheets and
had to be purified, which was time-consuming. Gelatin desserts were the
province of royalty and the relatively well-to-do. In 1845, a patent for
powdered gelatin was obtained by industrialist Peter Cooper, who built
the first American steam-powered locomotive, the Tom Thumb.[2][3] This
powdered gelatin was easy to manufacture and easier to use in cooking.[4]

In 1897, in LeRoy, New York, carpenter and cough syrup manufacturer,
Pearle Bixby Wait trademarked a gelatin dessert, called Jell-O. He and
his wife May added strawberry, raspberry, orange and lemon flavoring to
granulated gelatin and sugar.[5] Then in 1899, Jell-O was sold to Orator
Francis Woodward (1856€“1906),[6] whose Genesee Pure Food Company
produced the successful Grain-O health drink. Part of the legal
agreement between Woodward and Wait dealt with the similar Jell-O name.[7]

Going mainstream[edit]
Various elements were key to Jell-O becoming a mainstream product: new
technologies, such as refrigeration, powdered gelatin and machine
packaging, home economics classes, and the company's marketing.[8]

Initially Woodward struggled to sell the powdered product. Beginning in
1902, to raise awareness, Woodward's Genesee Pure Food Company placed
advertisements in the Ladies' Home Journal proclaiming Jell-O to be
"America's Most Famous Dessert."[9] Jell-O was a minor success until
1904, when Genesee Pure Food Company sent armies of salesmen into the
field to distribute free Jell-O cookbooks, a pioneering marketing
tactic.[10] Within a decade, three new flavors, chocolate (discontinued
in 1927), cherry and peach, were added, and the brand was launched in
Canada.[9] Celebrity testimonials and recipes appeared in advertisements
featuring actress Ethel Barrymore and opera singer Ernestine
Schumann-Heink. Some Jell-O illustrated advertisements were painted by
Maxfield Parrish.

In 1923, the newly rechristened Jell-O Company launched D-Zerta, an
artificially sweetened version of Jell-O. Two years later, Postum and
Genesee merged, and in 1927 Postum acquired Clarence Birdseye's frozen
foods company to form the General Foods Corporation.


Quick, Easy Jell-O Wonder Dishes, Jello-O Cookbook
By 1930, there appeared a vogue in American cuisine for congealed
salads, and the company introduced lime-flavored Jell-O to complement
the add-ins that cooks across the country were combining in these aspics
and salads. Popular Jell-O recipes often included ingredients like
cabbage, celery, green peppers, and even cooked pasta.[11]

By the 1950s, salads would become so popular that Jell-O responded with
savory and vegetable flavors such as celery, Italian, mixed vegetable
and seasoned tomato. These flavors have since been discontinued.[9]

In 1934, sponsorship from Jell-O made comedian Jack Benny the dessert's
spokesperson.[12] At this time Post introduced a jingle ("featured" by
the agency Young & Rubicam[13]) that would be familiar over several
decades, in which the spelling "J-E-L-L-O" was (or could be) sung over a
rising five-note musical theme. The jingle was written by Don Bestor,
who was the bandleader for Jack Benny on his radio program.[14]

In 1936, chocolate returned to the Jell-O lineup, as an instant pudding
made with milk. It proved enormously popular, and over time other
pudding flavors were added such as vanilla, tapioca, coconut, pistachio,
butterscotch, egg custard, flan and rice pudding.

Baby boom[edit]
The baby boom saw a significant increase in sales for Jell-O. Young
mothers didn't have the supporting community structures of earlier
generations, so marketers were quick to promote easy-to-prepare
prepackaged foods. By this time, creating a Jell-O dessert required
simply boiling water, Jell-O and Tupperware molds.[8]

New flavors were continually added and unsuccessful flavors were
removed: in the 1950s and 1960s, apple, black cherry, black raspberry,
grape, lemon-lime, mixed fruit, orange-banana, pineapple-grapefruit,
blackberry, strawberry-banana, tropical fruit and more intense "wild"
versions of the venerable strawberry, raspberry and cherry. In 1966, the
Jell-O "No-Bake" dessert line was launched, which allowed a cheesecake
to be made in 15 minutes. In 1969, Jell-O 1ˆ—2ˆ—3 (later Jell-O 1€¢2€¢3), a
gelatin dessert that separated into three layers as it cooled, was
unveiled. Until 1987, Jell-O 1€¢2€¢3 was readily found in grocery stores
throughout most of the United States, but the dessert is now rare. In
1971 packaged prepared pudding called Jell-O Pudding Treats were
introduced. Jell-O Whip 'n Chill, a mousse-style dessert, was introduced
and widely promoted; it remains available in limited areas today.

try this, make Lemon Jello and just before pouring it into the
container to set up, stir in a Cup of Vodka. After it is well chilled,
cut into golf ball size cubes. Eat you a few...you will enjoy! The
more you eat, the more you enjoy!

I don't get many chances to eat Jell-O but my favorite is Berry Blue. I can't even remember what it tastes like but the color is absolutely mesmerizing to my eyes. Perhaps it's spiked with psychotropic drugs. Hee hee.

I've never cared for eating the plain stuff but it is pretty to look at. I
do like it made into salad or relish, especially if it has nuts in it. But
only the sugar free. I can and am eating the sugar free, plain. Not
thrilled with it but I need the gelatin. My knee is no longer been locking
up on me since I've been eating it.

One thing I did learn though is that a lot of people do not like bananas in
it. I used to make this when cooking for my MIL as she needed soft foods.
I would put whatever other soft fruits in there that they might have. She
would eat it. She's not picky. But countless other people told me that I
ruined it with the banana. Weird thing is, I don't like bananas but I don't
mind them in Jell-O.

For me, it was creamed chipped beef. We didn't have it often when I was a
kid but I remember liking it. And the people I worked with kept urging me
to make it for my husband as he was in the military. I didn't realize that
they were joking with me when they said this. I also didn't realize that
this dish might have been commonly served in some branches but not the Coast
Guard. He didn't even know what it was, but we both agreed that it should
never be made again!

I even called my mom to ask her about the beef as I thought maybe they used
to make it differently or I bought the wrong stuff or something. Nope.

That was actually funny! I spat fruit cocktail when I read it.

Try panna cotta sometime. Most of what you see on the internet looks
fancy, but food bloggers/wannabe food stylists just make it look that
way.

Don't know what but you sure did something wrong, Sheldon.

I made the Jello with bananas on Wednesday morning.
It's now 3 days later and I'm about to finish it up.
I'll just get out the banana slices with as little Jello
as I can.

These banana slices still look perfectly fresh like the first day. You
did something seriously wrong if your bananas turned black, slimey,
and smelly just overnight. Didn't you also say they sunk to the bottom
of the Jello. Mine floated to the top.

I think you totally lied about making Jello with bananas 2 weeks ago.
There was no picture and all your supposed results were the complete
opposite of what happens in real life.

You lied your ass off. You are busted, sir.

Perhaps due to using half seltza.. the CO2 may have done the dastardly
deed.

I certainly did post a picture, you are probably the only retard that
didn't notice that square bowl.

Maybe he was too busy listening to Prince songs.
