1. I have an unhealthy love for Jello

lime, cherry , strawberry, if it wiggles, I will eat it

[Dr. Strange]

21. That's my motto!

If it wiggles, I will eat it.

[JCMach1]

2. All I am eating right now with the stomach bug I have... so it's love it

or NOTHING

[kentauros]

3. If it's got gelatin in it, I won't eat it.

You know, made from animals and all that.

[BurtWorm]

6. I know it's made from animal parts, but I forget which.

Is it horse's hooves? If so, do they lop off the hooves of horses they slaughter, or do they collect clippings from live horses?

[kentauros]

8. I doubt clippings from live horses would be enough.

Generally, it's made from the cartilage, hooves and bones of all the other animals people eat. Here's the wiki link and first sentence:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

Gelatin (from French gélatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones.

11. I always thought it was cow's hooves.

But according to this: http://www.ochef.com/909.htm

Most of it comes from pig skin now.

[geardaddy]

9. But there are other non-animals substitutes

15. My brother and SIL made a wonderful cranberry salad this past Xmas

using a plant-based gelling agent. They didn't remember what the product was, but were quite happy with how it came out. Everyone in my family but me is a meat-eater, but are more than happy to accommodate my needs, learning as they do

Did you notice in that link we have another reason to bring up the hated kudzu?

That's a nice site; thanks for the link
I'll have to look through it more tonight.

[geardaddy]

16. I did!

Ah kudzu...

Good for something after all!

[azmouse]

4. I can tolerate it plain but if it has fruit in it...

[redqueen]

5. Love.

Jiggly, fruity deliciousness. What's not to like?

[BurtWorm]

7. I'm frankly surprised by how poorly it's doing.

It's early yet, though.

[NJmaverick]

10. Jello Rocks! Love the fruit flavors and the texture

the sugar free variety has just 10 calories per serving

[DarkTirade]

12. I wouldn't. I mean, she's cute and all, but she's dating a friend of mine.

... you gotta wonder how some people come up with their nicknames.

[TZ]

13. Its not a family holiday in my house if there is not a Jello mold...

Orange with oranges in it is my favorite!

[MorningGlow]

14. I don't usually bother with it

Although I feel like I'm obligated to love it; I live just down the road from the Jello Museum.

[NightWatcher]

17. two words: Jello Shots

[bigwillq]

18. Jell-O shots I love for sure!

[BeachBaby]

19. In what respect, Burt?

[MilesColtrane]

20. Do Not Want flavored, powdered pig and cow bones and hides.

...no matter how brightly colored it is.

[EastTennesseeDem]

22. The particular mold in the OP looks like it will give you hallucinations.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Merrick]

23. I like my Jello like I like my men:

Rainbow-colored and shaped like a puckered rectum.

[Drunken Girlfriend]

24. Jello

My mother used to make Jello molds like that in the 80's.lol

Anyways,Jello is good,but I eat the portion controlled kind made
by Hunts,because they are in a cup,and sugarless.

Good for someone who is watching their diet.

But if sugar is not your concern,then Jello's Blue Raspberry is an
awesome flavor.

[Shell Beau]

25. That is cool looking! I don't care either way about jell-o.

I'll eat it.
