Lately, I've been following a fellow on Instagram who is cooking (Jello-ing?) his way through the the 1963 version of the book mentioned here, The Joys of Jello.
Why? I don't know. Not sure how long he'll keep at it but I find his little videos oddly amusing. He begins each one with a jaunty, "Jello there!"
He's @otto_vs_jello on Instagram.
Here's one he rather liked: Ginger Fruit Mold with Lemon Jell-O, Ginger Ale, Chopped Nuts, Pineapple Tidbits, Mandarin Oranges, Green Grapes, Candied Ginger.
Here's one he really didn't: Plum Pudding with Cherry Jell-O, Salt, Cinnamon, Clove, Raisins, Prunes, Citron, Nuts, Post Grape-Nuts Cereal, Water. Blech!
