pickThis was definitely worth a read. All the pictures were super neat, I wasn't alive for most of them but the pictures seem so familiar. Plus there's a history behind the pictures and food of that time. So good!
Eggs Ah yes the infamous Jello mold 4y
AmyG Hahaha @Eggs Remember those? My mother-in-law mad them up to the day she died. I have the actual molds. 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Eggs Yes! @AmyG I used to go to a Mother‘s Day dinner with my grandmother at her church every year & the desserts where all different jello molds. Everyone brought one. Some with suspension, some with layers, some with fruit on top, some with whipped cream mixed in, some with marshmallows. And they just passed them down the tables so you could get a scoop of any that looked interesting and try them. Because of that I remember them fondly today 4y

Chrissyreadit @Eggs @AmyG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I remember our green Tupperware jello mold. We would make jello with fruit cocktail. 4y
Bklover My grandmother would make a green jello mold ring with pear halves in it. She‘d plop it down on lettuce and put a huge dollop of mayonnaise in the middle. 😳🤢 4y
Eggs @Bklover yes Missy!! My mom did that! Also green jello with shredded carrots 🥕 and celery. Lots of jello flavors and colors as desserts topped with cool whip. If it had mandarin oranges, I liked it. Oh memories. Then there were the jello popsicles... 4y
Bklover Yes!! I loved the jello popsicles! I had forgotten the shredded carrots. And strawberry banana with bananas was The Thing when I was a bit older! 4y
