Thread Name: BS: Fear the Jell-O
Subject: RE: BS: Fear the Jell-O
Oh, Tami, you can HAVE the Jell-o. I won't give it house room. My ex-husband was a chemist with Atlantic Gelatins, part of General Foods, which made Jell-o. He spent a lot of time analyzing Royal Gelatin to find out why it was so much better than Jell-o. (Well, for starters, they used better quality hides and hooves...) He also helped develop a hand dispersable, gel in cold water, gel in 15 minutes Jell-o. General Foods marketed it and decided not to sell it because it would take over from the traditional Jell-o. (What? Am I missing something here? They developed an improvement and didn't market it because it was better than the traditional product? How screwed up can you get?!?)

Drop some Jell-o on a pair of leather shoes some time...if you don't mind buying another pair of shoes.
