So funny. I never understood the meat Jellos. I am sure my mom did a few of these.

I'll have the hot Dr. Pepper! This just makes me think of Christipher Walken in Blast from the Past. His favorite drink, boiled DP. |

Makes me want to have a party.  BTW: In my family there are still "Jello things" served at get togethers. |

The old-school Elf On The Shelf is diggin the tuna tree. My mom still puts our old-school elf on the Christmas tree. It has been around for as long as I can remember (so that must be at least 45 plus years.) All of us kids take great delight in finding the most inappropriate things for the elf to do...there was one year that the angel and the elf were caught 'en flagrante delicto' on top of the tree. We all got fussed at for that one since no one would fess up.  |

The thought of some of the meat Jello's makes my stomach turn. I wonder who actually made and ate them. Did they make them once, and then no more, or was this a holiday staple? Visually, so many of them are disgusting. I try to imagine people oowing a aawing over a meat star or a green tuna Jello salad.

Visually, so many of them are disgusting. I try to imagine people oowing a aawing over a meat star or a green tuna Jello salad. I know. You gotta wonder. I was only born in 1967 so I personally do remember jello molds, but not with chunks of meat in them. Truthfully, some of those pictures make me want to hurl. I am going to ask my mom if this is really what they thought was 'good food'. Thankfully, even if these ideas did catch on for awhile, they didn't hang around and are mostly extinct now, but for a few exceptions. Weird weird weird. ETA: I will say, the holiday vegetable loaf was ahead of its time. The vegan pages I belong to on fb show lots of non-meat loaves. |

It's very common around here for Jello to be referred to as a "salad." They're sweet though and much more dessert like than salad like. Like the Strawberry Pretzel salad thing, etc. Back in the 60s my grandma made a lemon jello mold with chopped carrots, celery and onion with shrimp in it. She'd serve scoops of it on a lettuce leaf and then add a dollop of sour cream to the top. It was GROSS but she thought it was elegant  Mainly she's serve it to her friends when she hosted card club. |

Hmmm, lots of jello and meat in those recipes, but my favorite has to be the banana/cherry candles with the mayo "wax".

My mom made us hot Dr Pepper at least once when I was a kid. Had to try it!
We were spared meat jello, but every family gathering has at least one hello salad!
