Fun Facts
1 Bananas, peaches, and apples float in Jell-O. Grapes sink.
2 The original Jell-O flavors are orange, strawberry, raspberry, and lemon.
3 Jell-O is Utah s official state snack food.
4 Altogether there have been 36 flavors of Jell-O released. The following flavors were tried and abandoned: cola, coffee, chocolate, celery, tomato, and Italian Salad.
5 Whoever came up with the slogan There s Always Room for Jell-O likely wasn t picturing the 7,700-gallon display, which secured a place in the Guinness World Records for two adventurous Australians in February 1981.
6 Natural Desserts offers a gluten-free, vegan version of Jell-O, and the brand doesn t use artificial flavors or colors.
7 Lucille Ball, Bill Cosby, and Jack Benny have all been Jell-O spokespeople.
8 In October 2006, Damien Fletcher of the United Kingdom took the expression chop chop to a new level by using chopsticks to transfer 6.34 ounces of Jell-O from the plate down his throat in a single minute.
9 There was once a National Serve Vegetables in Jell-O Week. Recommendations included radishes and cucumber in lime Jell-O and carrots and cabbage in lemon.
10 In 1993 in Batavia, New York, some curious medical folks hooked an EEG (electroencephalograph) up to Jell-O and found the wavelengths imitate those of the human brain.
11 You ll find a note on the side of Jell-O boxes about what not to add. An enzyme called bromelain found in fresh or frozen pineapple prevents Jell-O from solidifying. Besides pineapple, stay away from kiwi, ginger root, papaya, figs, and guava.
12 The Gowanus Studio Space in Brooklyn, New York, holds an annual Jell-O Mold Competition. The 2010 winner s piece was entitled Aspic Ascension-Tastes Like Heaven and featured molds of the Virgin Mary made of Bloody Mary Jell-O.
13 There is a Jell-O Gallery in Le Roy, New York, the birthplace of the confection. It s open year-round.
