When I got a colonoscopy a few months ago.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

I make it anytime someone in the house is sick. It's great for when you don't really feel like eating much and you need to stay hydrated.
Jello like jelly? The wobbly wobbly stuff you have with ice cream and the like?
I make it every few months to have with ice cream.
Wibble
Well, shit. It never occurred to me to try it with ice cream. Now I know what I'm doing when I get home!
And to answer OP, the last time I made jello was way back in my 20s, with copious amounts of booze in it.
I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was ... oh shit... years ago.
Like a year ago
Two days ago!
About 20 years ago is the first and last time I made jello myself. I'm 32yo now.
About 2 years
I made Jello late last year to eat while fasting for my colonoscopy. I'm 50. Sometimes I make it when someone in the house is sick.
We make Jell-O shots for every party. Rather than use standard gelatin, we use a gelatin made out of fish bones which works really well. Gin, lemon, elderflower, champagne flavors!
Maybe a month or two? I have a kid who is more into pudding.I made pudding like last week.
After learning the effects of food dyes, I haven't had jello in over a decade.
Does Jell-O use food dyes?
Yes, most Jell-O contains artificial colors, including red 40, yellow 5, and yellow 6, which are derived from petroleum and may have negative health effects. Some say that these dyes may promote cancer because they contain benzidine, a known carcinogen. Red 40 is also a common ingredient in candy, cereal, baked goods, gelatin powder, drugs, and cosmetics. Some say that side effects of red 40 include hyperactivity, behavioral changes, allergic reactions, hives, asthma, sneezing, watery eyes, skin irritation, and migraines.
I don't even know what that is.
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.
Gelatin, also known as hydrolyzed collagen, is made from primarily pig skins which are acid treated to break them down.
I specifically stated that I did not want to know, why would you do this to me
Oh shit, I'm so sorry! I misread your comment.
Yeah that's kinda mean. I have a certain phobia and I hate it so much when I am being vulnerable and let people in on it and then they try to talk me out of it or say "x is not that bad!" Or talk about it or joke or even think it's cool to expose me to it like they are a fucking therapist. Ok, you just didn't want to know the jello secret, that's not exactly a crippling phobia, but it's still a mean move.
If it is a consolation to you, there is vegan jello.
I personally find gelatin a great way to use up more of the animal, and it's not bugs or anything like that, if you eat pork or beef that's really an ok product imo. It's not even offal. Bones also have other usage in cuisine, but in case you don't want to know I'll leave that out.
Anyway, back to vegan jello. It's made with agar agar, which is basically a polymer extracted from algae, instead of gelatine. Tastes good! Highly recommend.
Yeah but it's not like you eat it
