Did somebody call for me upscroll?
If it behooves you, olddude, must I be the one to rescue you from a hospital-lunch-green fit of Jello-Sea?
I can send you some cassette tapes of the old Jack Benny radio shows when Jello was the sponsor and announcer Don Wilson used to read Jello recipes weekly on the air and see how many plugs for the sponsor he could work into the show.
Sandy & Jeanie Darlington on (Folk Legacy FSI-28) have an original song called "Jello" in which they pretty much feel the way you do. The great blues songwriter Willie Dixon, however, felt differently in "Shake For Me", as he wrote fondly about a "hip shakin' mama" who shook like a plate full of the stuff (Life through a rose colored gel, as it were). So there's both sides of the spectrum for you No red hot polka to stick you with this time and no Jello themed CDs, (or Jello Con-jerti) alas, like there was for a barbeque.
The Jello has yet to find its Yo Yo Ma, but it sure found "yo' mama"!
And thanks to Ferdinand Magellatin, it's a global phenomenon, though it tends to work better in a partially flat mold instead (Otherwise, it just rolls for a little while and then collapses, unless you use Little Hawk's recipe.).
Jello Shots, SINSULL? I'm sorry, but I cry every time when it comes to the part where they shoot "Ol' Jeller". You can call it what you want to, but Youth In Asia would have eaten him for dessert!
