#53 How Jell-O Became Popular


Listen Later

This episode tells the story of Jell-O from when it was first introduced in 1897. Because gelatin desserts like Jell-O used to be a food that only wealthy families could afford to eat, (it took a long time to prepare) people were unfamiliar with the product and it was hard to sell. It took some great marketing to get this product off the ground.

Special Thanks to Interviewee:

Lynne Belluscio and the Jell-O Gallery Museum
