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.

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.
Can't stand the shit lol
I'm about middle age and don't believe I have ever made it, even as a child. I have had it, and would consider eating more if it wasn't available in such atrocious colors with false flavorings.
It is currently 85*F in my house and something like jello sounds nice right now as I contemplate what I will cook for dinner haha.
Last year.
Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.
Er, probably a year ago? I make it occasionally as a snack, but I have to remember to get some from the grocery store. My husband also enjoys it, so when I do make some, it goes quickly.
My grandfather would make sheets of jello, it was his snack he'd feed us when we visited him!
Like a month ago. I made a jello chocolate fudge pudding pie with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was delicious.
Chocolate fudge pudding pie... that's a dessert that just keeps on giving, I'd be so over that
Over it, or all over it? Those mean opposite things bc English is wack.

Probably not since I was less than 10. I'm almost 30 now. I should really make some Jell-O
It's been a while tbh now if it's pudding...
I don't know what jello is. Is it just plain jelly? Regards, the non-american world (I assume)
Yeah it’s just a brand of jelly.
To make it more confusing they call jam jelly.

Never made it. My wife buys sugar free jello cups sometimes for dessert.
Two days ago!
Like a year ago
I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was ... oh shit... years ago.
When I got a colonoscopy a few months ago.
I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don't get why it's popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It's usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.
It’s been years since I’ve prepared Jello for consumption at home! I like Jello, but only occasionally eat it when I’ve got a craving.
Never. Pudding, custard, and mousse, occasionally.
I don't even know what that is.
About 2 years
semi-regularly in summer. It's fairly refreshing.
I briefly added fruit, ala 1950s, but I prefer without. Occasionally with wHipped cream, but that takes effort since I don't like the garbage that the spray cans create. (whipped cream, sugar and an electric mixer).
1 box makes ~750ml / "one fifth", which is enough for 3 snacks, imo.
The issue is the amount of sugar in them (and the whipped cream). Using sugar-free versions is good.
Using a whipped cream maker, with NO2 canisters for some calorie-free sweetness, is nice.
