My grandfather found Jell-O horrifying too, olddude. Why? Because it wiggles and jiggles! He was convinced that it was still alive and regarded it as if it were some kind of monster from a bad 50's horror flick like "The Blob". He felt that it might attack at any moment.

Did you know that if you overdo the proportion of jello powder in the mix that you can come up with stuff that's so firm that it will bounce like a crazy ball? You can cast it in round balls and bounce them around to excite the dachshund. (Just picture a jello ball the size of a basketball....and think of what fun you could have with such an item.)

But if one of them gets lost under the sofa you may find it weeks later when dusting, and it's a pretty disgusting sight by that time, let me tell you.
