I have a family tradition of making rainbow jello for Easter. Each color layer gets a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk jello in between to make the colors really pop when it is sliced. It's so pretty. It takes all day. It's one of my favorite things about Easter.

I also make it pretty regularly because I eat gelatin as a nutritional supplement that does seem to help my joint pain a bit. For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin and mix it with tart cherry juice in pint jars and chill it or mix it with hot tea or chicken broth.

we make jello shots for the adults during trick or treat for halloween every year... hundreds of little cups. if that counts

I was cleaning out my pantry last week and found 3 boxes of jello mix that were like 4 years old and I threw them out.

When I went grocery shopping, I was like "oh, yeah, I'm out of jello" and bought 3 more 🤦🏼‍♂️

Jello as dessert? When I was 15 for a school project. Jello as a shot? Probably annually

My last colonoscopy so like 2 years old.

Which begs the question, why haven’t you had your colonoscopy? You are too old to not have had one and jello in an acceptable color is on the okay foods list.

Also barf

I make dog treats out of jello by adding chicken stock regularly. The stock comes from boiling rotisserie chicken leftovers. It costs about a dollar per batch. My dogs love it and it's good for them

One of my wife's friends had just had a kid. He's in highschool now.

A couple of years ago. Jell-O is useful when you have to go on a liquid diet.

The last time I made Jello I think I was like 22 or 23, so probably around 2004. I was at a party at my friend's house that had fizzled down to about 5 people pretty early. That's when someone had the great idea to make Jello shots... I prepared the Jello on the stove, but my friend Mary actually assembled the shots. She did not mention to anyone that she used Everclear and added almost double what the recipe called for. Anyway, she put them in the fridge and then promptly forgot about them... Until we ran out of beer. Then someone remembered. They weren't completely set, which at the time we attributed to them not getting chilled long enough. In truth, there was so much pure alcohol in those shots that they wouldn't have ever set even if we kept them in the freezer overnight! Assuming we were immortal, as drunk people in their early 20s tend to do, we heroicly downed about 4 of them each before we realized how strong they were... Most of the rest of that night is a blur of laughter, spinning lights, and eventually a soft couch and oblivion.

That was probably about the 2nd or 3rd most drunk I've ever been before or since, and definitely top 5 worst hangovers lol

For the record I do not drink anymore

Today. I love jello + canned fruit.

I will never make Jello for as long as I live. I feel like there's some kind of dark, horrible secret behind its creation, like it's made of ground up roaches and goat phlegm or something, and I just don't want to know.

Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

Not since college

Fucking never, the texture grosses me out

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.

Do you have kids?

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

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.

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

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.

My grandmother made it all the time. My parents seldom made it. I have never made it. I associate it with hospitals and crappy school cafeterias.

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.
