The last time I made Jello I think I was like 22 or 23, so probably around 2004. I was at a party at my friend’s house that had fizzled down to about 5 people pretty early. That’s when someone had the great idea to make Jello shots… I prepared the Jello on the stove, but my friend Mary actually assembled the shots. She did not mention to anyone that she used Everclear and added almost double what the recipe called for. Anyway, she put them in the fridge and then promptly forgot about them… Until we ran out of beer. Then someone remembered. They weren’t completely set, which at the time we attributed to them not getting chilled long enough. In truth, there was so much pure alcohol in those shots that they wouldn’t have ever set even if we kept them in the freezer overnight! Assuming we were immortal, as drunk people in their early 20s tend to do, we heroicly downed about 4 of them each before we realized how strong they were… Most of the rest of that night is a blur of laughter, spinning lights, and eventually a soft couch and oblivion.

That was probably about the 2nd or 3rd most drunk I’ve ever been before or since, and definitely top 5 worst hangovers lol

For the record I do not drink anymore

Sounds familiar, only that we went for some bottom shelf vodka. I believe I was 21, was at the very end of my bachelor’s degree. Probably around July/August 2005.

Never. Had to Google what it even is. I had something similar once as a child.

Can’t stand the shit lol

Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

They make vegan jelly (or jello) nowadays, don’t feel like you can’t have fun any more!

myster0n ,

Look up agar agar : it’s a gelatin substitute made from algae

Er, probably a year ago? I make it occasionally as a snack, but I have to remember to get some from the grocery store. My husband also enjoys it, so when I do make some, it goes quickly.

My grandfather would make sheets of jello, it was his snack he’d feed us when we visited him!

My last colonoscopy so like 2 years old.

Which begs the question, why haven’t you had your colonoscopy? You are too old to not have had one and jello in an acceptable color is on the okay foods list.

I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don’t get why it’s popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It’s usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.

Lost_My_Mind ,

I’m 40, and made it for the first time a month ago. It made 4 tiny cups. I still have one cup in the fridge.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

semi-regularly in summer. It’s fairly refreshing.

I briefly added fruit, ala 1950s, but I prefer without. Occasionally with wHipped cream, but that takes effort since I don’t like the garbage that the spray cans create. (whipped cream, sugar and an electric mixer).

1 box makes ~750ml / “one fifth”, which is enough for 3 snacks, imo.

The issue is the amount of sugar in them (and the whipped cream). Using sugar-free versions is good.

Using a whipped cream maker, with NO2 canisters for some calorie-free sweetness, is nice.

SpaghettiYeti ,

Like a month ago. I made a jello chocolate fudge pudding pie with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was delicious.

Soku ,

Chocolate fudge pudding pie… that’s a dessert that just keeps on giving, I’d be so over that

tamal3 ,

Over it, or all over it? Those mean opposite things bc English is wack.

Soku ,

All over it, non native English speaker who loves chocolate

Hikermick ,

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

spacemanspiffy ,

I dig your jam

Kit ,

That’s an amazing idea that I’m going to steal

Hikermick ,

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!

Unfortunately, jello requires violence and cruelty towards animals, and this is not acceptable to me.

jerkface ,
@jerkface@lemmy.ca avatar

Downvoters: “Violence and cruelty are acceptable when jello is involved.”

rbesfe ,

Violence and cruelty towards farm animals is always acceptable

jerkface ,
@jerkface@lemmy.ca avatar

“Always acceptable” can only be interpreted to mean in any amount, for any reason. That’s clearly sadistic and disturbed were it to reflect your true feelings. It’s the sort of nonsense a person says to themself when they refuse to allow themself to think rationally about a subject and actually reflect on their true feelings.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

rbesfe ,

Animals are not morally equivalent to humans in my opinion, and morality is not rational.

You choose to draw the line around a select group of animals, I choose to draw it around humans only. Both are valid worldviews.

bionicjoey ,

Probably not since I was less than 10. I’m almost 30 now. I should really make some Jell-O

It’s been a while tbh now if it’s pudding…

Never. Pudding, custard, and mousse, occasionally.
