JELLO

 August 18, 2022

Skyline RV site A3

Darien Center, NY

Can you believe it?  They ran off and left me heading to neighboring LeRoy, NY for a Jell-O Gallery Museum?  I've never had Jello so I asked Momma what it was.  She said she was surprised to read about it's origin.

 Of course the process of creating a Jello dish to serve has changed over the years.....definitely an improvement for the cook.

The museum was full of information and pictures relating to the advertisement used over the years to market the product.  Early on, due to lack of sales, the business changed hands from the disgusted owner for $35.  Marketing was what really kicked off the sales in the early 1900's from the Jello Wagon to the Ladies Home Journal; from the Jello Girl to catchy slogans.

And the vote is in.  Strawberry is the favorite flavor followed by cherry.

They weren't serving any jello treats so Momma and Dad found a cute Ice Cream Parlor 

that was able to satisfy their appetites.

What would have really made their wallets happy was the gas pump outside the ice cream palor.  

Too bad it was just an antique and not still selling 29 cent a gallon gasoline.  There would have been $$ left over in the budget for extra dog bones for ME!!!
