You could survive, but it wouldn't be exactly healthy.

I just wondered, as my company sells 125grm pots of jelly for 57p
and thought there was no food value in it.

Arg! You know people are going to do that if you tell them not too.

Disgusting! I don't think liquid cat is my cup of tea really.

You could probably get away without drinking, but I doubt you'd live long on just water sugar gelatine and colouring.

Jam would be fruit, pectin and sugar, perhaps a bit of acid, as from lemon.

Jello is a trademarked name brand here. Such fun food, a liquid that's a solid!

Jelly with bananas inside and ice-cream is the king don of desserts

I think is is all the shapes that jelly/jello can be made in that makes it interesting, i am sure mom had a cat shaped one, or was it a rabbit.

Wolly, you must come to the U.S. and visit the Jello Museum:

"There's Always Room for Jell-O." This is the campaign slogan of a simple gelatin dessert that today is known as "America's Most Famous Dessert."

So America's Most Famous Dessert is really English Jelly?

The success story is one, the result of advertising and merchandising methods, new and different, never before employed. Salesmen, well-trained, well groomed, well versed in the art of selling went out in "spanking rigs, drawn by beautiful horses" into the roads, byroads, fairs, country gatherings, church socials, and parties to advertise theirproduct.

Spanking rigs? Oh, wait, I think Moonbear has one of those.

In 1845, Peter Cooper dabbled with and patented a product which was "set" with gelatin. Suffice it to say, it never did "jell" with the American public.

Jell with the public? har har har *slaps knee*

In 1897, Pearle Wait, a carpenter in LeRoy, was putting up a cough remedy and laxative tea in his home. He experimented with gelatine and came up with a fruit flavored dessert which his wife, May, named Jell-O. He tried to market his product but he lacked the capital and the experience. In 1899 he sold his formula to a fellow townsman for the sum of $450.

So this all started as a cough remedy and laxative tea?

Wow, a jelly museum, how do they keep them hard ? i thought they would
go all soggy after a while
