My Mom invited one of her co-workers and family over for dinner once. The woman brought a dish that was basically cole slaw gelatin. Being a fan of cole slaw, I liked it, but I couldn't help but wonder why anyone would do this. You have cole slaw. Then you put it in a blender, mix with gelatin and you have a finished product that tastes like cole slaw. All that work and you haven't changed or improved on the original in any way.

Jello tried their hand at veggie flavored Jello for salads. You've probably noticed that they don't make it any longer.
