- In the video today, we're looking at who exactly invented the jiggly desert known as J-E-L-L-O. :-)

7:40 every Steve watching is instantly freaked out lol.
It's true.
My husband does not generally watch these, but I made him watch THIS one, and he yelped in dismay at this point. And yes his name is Steve hahahaha
to be forewarned is to ARM YOURSELF beforehand .. beware of Daven bearing jello
What did we ever do to Jello???
@@StopGuessingGeorge
Must be the sins of our fathers paying a visit
2:17 " Unlike Jello, as most children figure out when they are young, glue does not taste good "
**Vietnam flashbacks intensify**
FYI, glue and grass didn't taste that bad when I was a kid. You ever taste escargot or Beluga Caviar? Much worse.
The glue I ate had a minty smell and after taste. I forget the brand (I'm old, kindergarten was 40 years ago), but it was a thick paste that had a plastic stick attached to the lid that was used to spread it. I seriously remember it tasting about the same as those pink Brach's candies or Pepto Bismol. Sure, pizza tasted better, but hell, it was free as long as the teacher wasn't looking and when lunch time was an hour away.
Is it weird I never ate glue?
@matthew stinar
No it is not weird. Just rare that some of us were not willing to eat random garbage.
Anyone who says glue tastes bad never smelled it
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one interested in how random everyday things came to be
5:24 “They handed out free Jello molds to immigrants arriving at Ellis Island.”
“Welcome to America! Here’s your Jello mold.”
Immigrant: Thank you. I'm Rubens, by-the-way. Steve Rubens. Please to meet you.
Person handing out molds: Steve? Oh, dear. Umm....you may not actually want that. :-)
@@christalbot210 LOL!!!
Poor Steve, I laughed so hard I cried a little.
My name is Steve and this freaked me out a little. :)
I hope he doesn't live in Utah
That made me laugh too. Luckily for Steve, Jello is very easy to eat ... you don't even need teeth! As long as the blog isn't too big, Steve should survive. :)
Who is Steve?
i know it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
I'm trying to go to bed but now I need to find out who invented jello
Bill Cosby, now you can go to "bed".
@@2011blueman Remeber Kids, make sure to check that Bill Cosby isn't under the bed before you go to sleep. If you spot him, yell, "Help! Hypocrisy, hypocrisy!"
Same!
It kind of invented itself as a byproduct of boiling meats.
Okay, now we need a video about who Steve is, and why JELL-O wants to kill him. 😄
Everybody wants to kill Steve. JELL-O monsters are no exception. ;-) -Daven
"Everybody wants to kill Steve."
Yep, my ex definitely writes for this channel.
so does I mean that there's a bounty over my head because I didn't eat my Jell-o before viewing your video I WONDER :) next time I might not eat a bowl of Jell-O because it might jump on me LOL
Okay, but who is he? 🤔
@@motherofchaos5519 - I think he is referring to Steve McQueen who stars in in the original 1958 "the Blob" movie, where the blob is an obvious Jello.
This is second time recently 'Steve' has been mildly threatened/warned recently.
What next? Jello-boarding with vodka jello? YES.... DO IT!
Leave me alone or I'll publish another video! :D
Lime Jell-O made with lime vodka.
Am I the only one who thought of the movie “The Stuff” when he declared jello would not rise up and kill me in my sleep?
I was thinking more B.O.B.
I am surprised that many people have seen that film.
I thought of the really old B-Movie "The Blob".
The Stuff is a great movie.
I'd forgotten all about that movie. I'm more triggered by yogurt, myself.
"Well to do Europeans"
"Also Americans"
LOL
True story, I have actually been to the Jelll-O museum. It’s as about exciting as it sounds....😏
So no.
There’s a museum for jello-O? Hahaha
I've lived about 1/2 hour drive from the museum all my life. Have never been there.
Do you get free jello?
@@garethbaus5471 Lol I don't remember getting any.
I used to live in Le Roy and it pleases me to no end to hear it mentioned on a channel as large as this.
I live about 15 minutes from there. It is neat to hear one of our small towns so prominently mentioned on a large CZcams channel.
I agree....I'm about 1/2 hour away, & my father worked at Lapp Insulators in LeRoy for almost 30 yrs.
@@HandsIntoHistory My maternal grandfather worked at Lapp Insulators as a security guard for many years.
@@kelam710 My father was there from the late 1940's till 1979. Perhaps your grandfather & my father knew each other! Small world, eh? And all thru a huge CZcams channel!!
My Mom invented jello 🤣🤣🤣 thats how i want to remember it . Top Fan here Love the channel
I invented the question mark!
I'll protect you, Steve! Just stand behind me. I've faced many a Jell-O mould. I can handle this.
More fun facts -
in germany, jello is called "Götterspeiser"(=meal of the gods) or "wackelpudding" (=wobbling/shaking pudding).
Also, the 2 main flavours are raspberries and smth called "Waldmeister"(=the master of a forrest), a very unique n sweet herb that grows in Germany.
More *Lime Jello* is purchased in Utah every year than anywhere else in the world.
(Think ... Church picnic.) 🍨
Well how else are you supposed to acquire your second/third wife?
@@2011blueman
Being a Mormon Woman, I always thought that it was just a way to use up the baby marshmallows.

Thanks for the warning. I'll be more careful at the next Single's event. lol 💕
Lime Jello with shredded carrots and/or cabbage... Is it a salad or a dessert?
@@douglas_drew It's an abomination, is what it is. "If dessert tastes too good, it might rile up the congregation and tempt them to sin! Better dump in the bits of trash that fell out when we were tossing the salad."
My mom would use lime jello with mixed vegetables in it.
Congratulations ! You've finally created a video with a topic that I already knew about. Keep up the good work. I do learn so much from your various channels.
Oh great now I'm going to have to sleep with a spoon in my hand.😨
... and a carton of whipped cream.
Simon and Team,
Great video! Thank you! “Except for you Steve!” I love you all. Humor is a rare occasion for me and you guys always add something in.
7:40 Not cool Simon. Now I have to go burn all the Jell-O.
What if jello just like invented itself and exits under it's own power
no
@@pessimisticpianist582 Why not? What if it has an advanced hive mind type of collective consciousness?
@@MosoKaiser sounds unlikely, to be honest.
@@pessimisticpianist582 How do you know? A-..are you a jello?
@@maschaorsomething yeah
My hometown! Exciting to hear about it on here, I'm a long time fan of the channel! The Jello museum is a small place but I will say the lady who runs it is awesome, I volunteered there for college for a short time and she does a lot locally to try and keep local history and interest in it alive!
Amazing. Fascinating. Another great video.
I have a question: How do coins/bills start circulating? As in, how do they get from the mint to people's pockets?
George Brown ...Delivered by truck. Like 99.99% of everything you own. (From a retired long-haul truck driver.... You’re welcome!) :)
Fresh supplies are delivered from the Mint to Federal Reserve banks, then local banks, and from there mostly small bills and coins distributed to retailers for change, with $20s mostly going to ATMs. Banks keep a certain amount on hand for withdrawals, but since more and more transactions are done digitally, either online or through point of sale at retailers, most money "circulating" today is purely digital. (In USA system, likely varies by country)
Jello was probably one of the very first D&D miniatures! :-)
You gave me an idea for my YT Channel. I should do a video on the Gelatinous Cube... :-P
RUN STEVE RUN!!!
... And Steve ran and ran and ran...
The last thing heard from Steve was, "AHHHHHHHH ..."
Lookout, Steve. That Jell-O is out to get you!
I freaking knew it.
We're ALL out to get you!
Just utterly splendid. Wonderful.
I feel like there is a stoned guy named Steve freaking out while watching this video.
"en- _keph_ -alogram" nice. Simon may be experiencing a minor enkephalopathy, possibly from eating some badly prepared kephalopods. My guess, rankid ostopus..
The hard-c is technically correct, and both pronunciations are in use. I know Americans love your lazy ways of speaking, and soelling, but your ways are hardly universal, nor necessarily correct.
I have my very own Jell-O belt. And it struggles in vain to keep my pants up against the downward forces of my Jell-O belly.
Timely video.... I recently found a case of jello on a shelf in a garage with a "best before date of 3/92 " it tastes fine . I'm sure i'll be sick of it after all of its gone . It will probably last longer than Bill Cosby . B T W the blob is one of my favorite movies..... Thank you for the cool video Simon
Bonus fact: Some sources claim that consumption of jello helps with arthritic pain and helps heal worn joints. The only reason given is since jello is made from ground up cartilage, the body quickly absorbs it and coats the affected areas. Some people swear by it..........but hmmmmmm.🤔
Maybe wishful thinking since the GI tract absorbs altered smaller units of protein and cartilage.
I don't think this is legitimate.
I was listening to this in my car while ubering, as I do, and my rider, Steve was rather amused and a little upset. Thank you for my best ride of the night.
5:00 I guess they didn't have false advertising laws at that point. With sales that low how was it America's favorite dessert? Seems only a few heard of it, hence the need for the ad.
My mother and all of her sisters adored Jell-O. They made molds putting anything you could think of in Jell-O From fruit to vegetables. My favorite was the Watergate Jell-O which was lime Jell-O filled with lots of nuts, including pistachios.
Thanks for taking us down memory lane.
Except for you Steve ...I love it. Had me laughing.
Cooper’s facial hair is most extraordinary.
Fresh. Nice video! 📹 Thank you!
except you steve!!!!
best thing ever.... do more
Thanks for the video! BTW, Jello was one of the first things my mom taught me to cook when I was a kid!
Jell-O shots for the win👍;
Also keep in mind about that old timey candy called the bit o’ honey and the o-Henry candy bars that’s also an oldie candy ,
Those things are hard to find,
They have a Caramel
Center that is rolled in believe roasted peanuts, and the whole thing is coated in chocolate ,
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one of those candy bars,
So it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten one of those;
Pretty tasty treat I’ll say,
However the Jell-O shots score up there as a goodie 👍
Please post up your favorite flavor, or flavors of jell-O 😊
Have a safe and fun New Year’s ,
Peace out everyone 👍
Susan Farley sounds like an awesome candy,
I’ll have to look that one up,
I’ve had a really hard time finding the Marathon bars from back when I was in middle school,
Those things were really long twisted braids of caramel that was covered in milk chocolate,
If your here in the states there’s a few dedicated websites that sell old timey candy,
I was able to buy an old timey Cherry mash which was a blob of milk chocolate with a cherry nougat inside,
That one was pretty tasty,
However it was a sugar shocker 😱,
But back on the jell-O side;
A few years ago jell-O released a Champagne flavored jell-O that you would mix in Club soda in place of the water and after the jello would setup in the fridge it would have lots of bubbles in the jell-O,
The flavor was okay,
It wasn’t alcoholic but as I recall it was interesting,
However it wasn’t as intense as let’s say the lime or orange, or the strawberry flavors ,
But still very interesting
Okay, thanks so much Simon. Now, I can’t sleep.
Excellent and Brilliant!!
It's alive!
"I'M AN ABOMINATION! ...and I'm coming to your house after schoooool...!"
this is very interesting and helpful for my science fair project thank you
I'm trying to coax my cousin, Steve to to venture out of the cupboard under the stairs. He's very impressionable and your warnings of doom to 'Steve' aint helping. We have to keep shouting "HE DOESN'T MEAN YOU, STEVE!" through the keyhole.
I literally didnt even know jello was like invented less than an hour from where I live lol. Apparently theres a jello museum there too lol
It's about 15 minutes from me. You should check it out. It's quite interesting.
I've lived about 1/2 hour drive from the museum all my life. Have never been there.
I live in Utah and can confirm that yes, we love Jell-O here. I prefer mine in the form of Jell-O Shots, with tequila, everclear, vodka, rum, or any available liquor.
I represent the Jello society of Canada and greatly resent the statement that Jello is not a living entity.
The Jello voice deserves to be heard and accepted!
he just saved steve from raspberry flavored murder. with this warning steve lives another day
Lime jello is my favorite of actual jello items but from the company, I prefer their chocolate pudding with their Almond Joy partnership. An easy and delicious dessert is mixing up the pudding and putting it in a graham cracker pie crust, then once it's chilled an hour or so, top with whipped cream. The graham cracker crust will always reign supreme with me because it's sweet and crunchy throughout the whole thing, unlike the edges of a regular pie crust. I wanted to make one this past Thanksgiving but my local store was out :( Well...mom did Thanksgiving dinner and dessert for the family so maybe it was good I didn't make anything extra.
The unflavored gellitan is when made 2x stronger animal glue. Keep it hot and warm the joints. Brush clamp and leave for 24 hours. I repair my guitar and other string instruments all the time this way.
Why is he again threatening me? Jokes on him, I don't have any Jello ... wait, what about the neighbors?
Everytime I eat Jell-O, my childhood cries. 😭
Thanks Simon. Now I am going to have Jell-o nightmares.
I was hospitalized 5 weeks ago, and I rediscovered my love for Jello in the hospital. I have orange Jello in the fridge.
I've been to the Leroy museum (it's pronounced La ROY, btw). I was there before the Cosby scandal broke, but at the time there were a TON of references to his commercials and print ads. I'd be so curious to see what changes they've made in the last few years...
I remember the show "Third Rock from the Sun" the aliens were terrified of jello. 🤣
yeah .... jello only tastes good when you add fruit in it then its good. For those over 21 then it's vodka.
Outside the US, it's usually over 18
In the mid 1960s, Jell-O came out with a product called Jell-O 123. When you let it set up it would settle into three layers. The bottom layer was a near Jell-o looking and tasting layer. The middle was a slightly creamy layer and the top layer was a full frothly creamy layer. If you let it set up in a clear bowl or a champagne glass you could really see the layers. Only problem was many in the US didn't like the taste. I agree. As a kid, liking almost anything sweet was the norm, but this productl had a real artificial taste to it! Only thing cool was my mother poorer it into a champagne glass and tilted the glass in the refrigerator until it set up. It was cool looking.
Another thing she did was to whip the Jell-O in a bowl after mixing the hot water and powder together. Then she let that sit up. It was smooth and tasteful.
LOL... Wow... Had to get my breath from laughing 😂 so much.Funniest Bunch watching and posting here! Thanks tall
I live close to the beach and when I was a kid there were a factory here that made gelatine of seaweed. But we do not eat Jello/jelly that way. You can't buy it in the supermarkets.
@simonwhistler What's the story with the blue neon WS on the wall behind you? I notice in some videos that its off, does that have a meaning?
And it probably cures a hangover
These videos are the best, i mean you could probably spend 20-30 minutes on google gathering this information yourself, but whats the fun in that! Plus i dont have an accent.
It is so sad to think that there are people in this world who have never experienced Jello.
I've never been so happy to not be named Steve.
7:42
Steves Everywhere: 😳😳😳
I would totally watch all the videos about the history of food.
KOOL-AID! Hastings, Nebraska... next food episode please
Is this the same as Rowntrees Jelly that we have in the UK? And have had for a long time - since I was a kid in the 1950s at least.
I sure feel worried for Steve right now.
Is it just me or did I see this episode earlier (maybe on another channel with Simon)?
I knew you couldn’t have a jello episode without talk of Mormons
There's at least one stoner named Steve whose freaking out hopefully there aren't jello shots at his new years party
Simon, are you threatening beloved Night Vale citizen Steve Carlsburg? JELL-O WILL NOT TAKE HIM.
The main reason I watched this is to see if you would mention Jack Benny! You did!! 🎉
Mister Grandpa's Bakery Same here. It’s too bad people don’t remember Jack Benny these days.
Thanks for noticing that I am watching Simon, Best Wishes.
When I was in elementary school at lunch time (late 70s) we would occasionally get these cubes of what they called jell-o, but it really wasn't I don't think. You could bounce it off the floor or give the kid down the table a black eye with this stuff.
Poor Steve...
I think you'd be amazing as a villain in a good detective movie
Dude breaking character while talking about daddy bill
I thought this was a remake just with much less facts... Then I remembered I just learned it on your amazing podcast; the brainfood show. Everyone should listen if you like this kind of content
Thank you! I was trying to figure out if this was a reupload, but I didn't think Simon would do us like that.
I really wish he didn’t add that bit about attacking Steve in the night. It’s 3 am and I’m feeling a little worried...
This is not the first plot against Steve that has been uncovered by this channel.
Without The Jack Benny Show, no one would know about Jello.
Great video! Most people around here pronounce it "Le Roy" not "Lee Roy". Also I wonder if there is any correlation between the Mormon's liking Jello since it came from about an hour away from where the Mormon Religion was created.
Rest in pieces Steve... :P
What was the first patent, and the history behind it?
Specifically, Mormons have a thing for green jello with shredded carrots in it. I swear every single major event for the LDS church when I was growing up in Salt Lake City, Utah involved it. X.x
It's always the older folks who do it lol I just don't trust Jello salad anymore if I didn't make it myself 🤣
That first bonus fact about Jell-o being alive reminds me of Schrodinger's Cat. It was originally supposed to be a mental experiment showing how the new science of quantum mechanics can't be true.
No, Jell-O won't attack me! I'll eat it first!
Yeah, my name is Steve.
stay hungry
Stepph?!?
We're coming for you Steve.
I freaking knew it.
Steve will never sleep again

Top notch, this.

For you, Steve.
do you add glycerine?
One disgusting fact was left out about the state where I live (Utah). Many people here consider green Jello with sliced carrots to be the best thing on planet Earth (or so it would seem).
Hang in there steve..
