Fun Friday: National Jello Day




Fun facts about J-E-L-L-O!


  • Jiggly Origins: Jello was originally marketed as a dessert for "convalescents" (people recovering from illness) in the late 19th century. It's come a long way from being a health food!

  • Mystery Flavor: Ever wonder what the "mystery flavor" of Jello is? It's actually a combination of flavors from the previous batch, making each box a surprise!

  • NASA Jello: Astronauts aboard space shuttles and the International Space Station have enjoyed Jello in space. It's one small wobble for Jello, one giant wobble for mankind!

  • Record-Breaking Jello: The largest Jello ever made weighed over 19 tons! That's a lot of wobble in one place.

  • Jello as a Dessert Staple: Despite its fun reputation, Jello has been a comforting dessert for generations, loved by kids and adults alike for its wiggly, jiggly appeal.
