Jell-o: Celebrating 100 years Favorite brand name recipes pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Looking back 100 years ago, Jell-O

was little more than a brand name

and an unfulfilled dream.

Today, if placed end to end, the

299 million packages of Jell-O

gelatin dessert produced in a year

would stretch more than three

fifths of the way around the globe.

And the Jell-O brand now includes

extensive lines of pudding mixes,

No Bakes, snacks and yogurts--fun

products which meet the needs of

families today.

How did this phenomenon come

about? How has this wiggly, jiggly

product adapted to changes in

lifestyles and eating habits to

remain a brand recognized by

99% of Americans and used

regularly in 72% of our homes?

Actually, the Jell-O story began

more than 150 years ago in

LeRoy, New York. In 1845, the

industrialist, inventor and

philanthropist Peter Cooper, of

Tom Thumb engine and Cooper

Union fame, obtained the first

patent for a gelatin dessert.

Although he packaged his gelatin

in neat little boxes with directions

for use, Cooper did very little to

make the product more convenient

to use. Home cooks still relied on

sheets of prepared gelatin. These

sheets had to be clarified by boiling

them with egg whites and shells

and then dripped through a jelly

bag before they could be turned

into shimmering molds.

Today Jell-O products are not only

the largest selling prepared

desserts, but the brand is one of

the best known in the whole field

of grocery products. Its history

through the years has been one of

adapting to contemporary

consumer needs and desires, and it

continues to do so. The brand is a

popular and familiar icon. In

addition to a restaurant and

museum devoted to Jell-O, there

are Jell-O fans and memorabilia

collectors all over the country.

Now there is even a Jell-O home

page on the Kraft Foods, Inc. Web

site at http://www.kraftfoods.com.

Over 100 varieties of snacks and

desserts are sold under the Jell-O

brand. In the United States, every

eight seconds someone buys a

package of Jell-O gelatin, the

dessert from LeRoy, New York, that

started it all 100 years ago. We

invite you to page through this

spectacular collection of Jell-O

recipes for dozens of ideas sure to

please one and all. Enjoy!
