J-E-L-L-O




Hey, hey, hey, it's Bill Cosby here and I want to talk to you about America's favorite desert . . . Jello! It wiggles, it jiggles, it can be green, red or even blue. It tastes fantastic! And it doesn't have to be just for dessert, you can use it for main dishes too! Why, my mother used to put tuna in her jello. Spam, ground beef, carrots, peas, tomatoes and lettuce. Obekaybe? You can make Jello popsicles, Jello cubes, Jello Dream Whip Pie. You can do anything with Jello! And since gelatin is made out of ground up cow bones there's a lot of calcium in it. Yummmmmmmy!

My favorite thing to do with Jello is to spread it all over the kitchen floor so the dreaded Chicken Heart (the kid killer) can't get me! Ohbekaybe, go eat some Jello!

  2. Oh, that was so good.

    I remember when my parents would listen to The Shadow, I would run from the room because I would become so scared and not sleep well for a week or so. The radio and the imagination - perfect together.

  3. Jello did not pass my lips from age three, long before Bill figured out what else to do with it.

  4. I don't really like jello but I love Bill Cosby. My mom used to make jello fruit salad. The fruit she used was the canned kind. I am not sure yummy is a good word for it but what do I know?

    Thanks for sending me down my old memory corridors.

  5. YUM! I like jello with fruits in it. As a child, my mom would give me jello every time I got sick :)

  6. With Tuna? Reminds me of my late mother-in-law (who was Swedish), who used to make Spaghetti with hazel nuts.
