- Summary:
- Who didn't Grow Up on Jell-o Gelatin? Hospitals dished it out after your tonsils were removed, and Mom always stashed a box for those dessert "emergencies." Fast, easy, and cheap, Jell-O has reigned as "America's Most Famous Dessert" for more than 100 years. But where and when and how did it all begin? Junk-food authority Carolyn Wyman answers these questions and much, much more in her painstakingly researched biography of the fruit-flavored dessert (and sometimes salad).
