About 20 years ago is the first and last time I made jello myself. I’m 32yo now.

HotsauceHurricane ,

Maybe a month or two? I have a kid who is more into pudding.I made pudding like last week.

I keep some in the medicine cabinet. Gelatin can make a nice throat coating when you have a bad cough.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Do you eat it dry?!

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.

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

friend_of_satan ,

I’m mid 40’s and I literally just finished making jello with my elementary school aged daughter. We’re still waiting for it to solidify. Last time we did it a few weeks ago we used cold water and it solidified pretty quickly.

Not since college

PandaPikachu ,

I make it anytime someone in the house is sick. It’s great for when you don’t really feel like eating much and you need to stay hydrated.

Jello like jelly? The wobbly wobbly stuff you have with ice cream and the like?

I make it every few months to have with ice cream.

Wibble

Decoy321 ,

Well, shit. It never occurred to me to try it with ice cream. Now I know what I’m doing when I get home!

And to answer OP, the last time I made jello was way back in my 20s, with copious amounts of booze in it.

collapse_already ,

I made Jello late last year to eat while fasting for my colonoscopy. I’m 50. Sometimes I make it when someone in the house is sick.

delicious_justice ,

We make Jell-O shots for every party. Rather than use standard gelatin, we use a gelatin made out of fish bones which works really well. Gin, lemon, elderflower, champagne flavors!

StaySquared ,

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.

wrinkletip ,

I don’t know what jello is. Is it just plain jelly? Regards, the non-american world (I assume)

surewhynotlem ,

Sweet fruit flavored gelatin.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

Yeah it’s just a brand of jelly.

To make it more confusing they call jam jelly.

maryjayjay ,

No, we call jam jam. Jelly is made purely of the juice of a fruit or berry, thickened with pectin and with added sugar. If you use the whole fruit smooshed up but with chunks we call it preserves. We also call marmalade marmalade. It’s made primarily of the skin of citrus fruit, but you probably know that

    Tl;dr: you’re on the Internet. Before authoritatively and incorrectly correcting someone, consider using it to verify that you’re actually correct first.

    They responded to “US people say this” with “no, US people actually say this”. Then you said “Hey, there are places other than the US”.

    Maybe before you correct someone you should check the thread you’re responding to.

    JadenSmith ,

    Despite all that effort, he’s wrong as well. I’m born and raised in London, UK and we most certainly have differentiations. The description of preserves having elements of the real fruit is the same in the UK: I can go to the local supermarket right now and the shelf will have different sections for jams, preserves, and marmalades (which the person they were replying to were also correct in their description).
    The thing I haven’t seen is American Jelly, as Jelly here is the same as Jell-O in the US.

    StupidBrotherInLaw ,

    When someone correctly says in the context of UK English “the yanks call (UK English A) (US English B)!” and they respond “no, we call (US English B) (US English B)” and proceeds to provide a US centric lecture of nomenclature, they tend to be contradicting them. On their own geographically correct usage of the word.

    Corollary example also appropriate for the US. MtF person recently transitions and word is spreading.

    Person 1: They even call Roy Martha.
    Person 2: No, I call Roy Roy.

    The only thing better than getting lectured on reading comprehension is being lectured by someone who didn’t comprehend the reading.

    tigeruppercut ,

    Man, that’s a lot of words to still be wrong.

    StupidBrotherInLaw ,

    All that time and the best response you had is “nuh uh!”. When I counter an argument and the response is pure cope, like you here, it’s a pretty clear admission that you actually can’t respond.

    tigeruppercut ,

    I don’t know how your reading comprehension is this bad. The OP of this thread said they didn’t know what jello was because they lived outside the US. Deceptichum said “they” call jam jelly, with the “they” being US people. Then maryjayjay corrected that comment, saying “we” (meaning US people) call jam jam and jelly jelly, meaning they’re 2 different things. That’s when your comment came in saying “nuh uh, the world isn’t the US!”

    I’m not sure how it can be much clearer. If you’re still having trouble please point out where you don’t understand.

    StupidBrotherInLaw , (edited )

    Your response thread so far is

    1. "Nuh uh, you’re wrong!"
    2. "Your reading comprehension sucks!"
    3. Reiterating your previous response as you apparently can’t address my follow-up

    I was wrong previously: the only thing funnier than being lectured on reading comprehension by someone with poor reading comprehension is being corrected by someone who is adamant you’re wrong but can’t actually tell you why. Yet I’m the idiot here. 🙄

    Edit: I’m done responding to you as this is a colossal waste of my time and may be actively making me stupider, so feel free to have the last word.

    tigeruppercut ,

    Ah, I see, so you were wrong from the start. Maybe you shouldn’t have responded at all, which was the point of my initial comment.

    Agrivar ,

    Thanks for at least being a consistently arrogant douche - I like to be sure before I block someone.

    StupidBrotherInLaw ,

    Please do, it’ll be no great loss for me. You responded with the wrong alt, though. Please be sure to block me on ALL of your alts.

    Agrivar ,

    Bro, this ain’t Reddit. I have one account, I browse maybe twice a day, and I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

    StupidBrotherInLaw ,

    Fucking block me already, you’re already intolerable.

    Its kinda funny how much effort you put into this comment, despite the context pretty clearly being about US English

    StupidBrotherInLaw ,

    The literal first comment in the thread mentions a confusion of the non-American vs American “world” in reference to naming.

    The next highlights a difference in US English versus English elsewhere.

    I’d long to hear how the context is solely US English.

    meekah ,
    @meekah@lemmy.world avatar

    How convenient to leave out the third comment, the one you replied to.

    The second comment was not just “higlighting a difference in US English versus English elsewhere”, it was claiming that US English calls jam jelly, and the third one corrected that claim.

    Of course there are other English speaking countries besides the US, but the third comment was absolutely justified in correcting what the second comment claimed. It’s not like there was some person from the US who said that all English is like that, making your comment pretty unnecessary.

    Yes, obviously the second comment was written by a non-US person. Nobody is trying to say otherwise.

    Your original comment starts with pointing out that there isn’t just US English, and quite rudely so. Again, nobody is trying to say otherwise. The third comment was just a US person clearing up the non-US person’s conception about the usage of words in the US. So you pointing out that there are people outside of the US, who use words differently than people inside the US was entirely unnecessary. That’s what most people are taking issue with, I think.

    Again, it’s kinda funny how much effort you’re putting into this. It feels a lot like you’re just trying to be correct in some way, instead of just admitting that your first comment was out of line. Welcome to my block list, and goodbye.

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

    Kolanaki ,
    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    I made parfait (or whatever the jello, whipped cream, walnuts and fruit thing is actually called) for a potluck at work once when I was 19. That was the last time I ever made Jello. I am now 39.

    I’m more of a pudding guy.
