Ok that's true, but flaming hot and extra sour are both delicious, Jello is just kinda... Meh.
Would you rather have flaming hot Jell-O or extra sour?
I mean it's gotta be extra sour right? At least then it kinda goes with the fruit themes I associate with jello, heck it might even be pretty good...? Maybe I should go make extra sour jello.
Extra Sour Flamin' Hot Jell-O. 🤤
This will give me nightmares I fear.
Why limit yourself.
Both.
Gelatin doesn't really have a flavor on it's own though, and I agree that the box-mix stuff is all kind of mid. This is why you make flaming hot and sour jello, instead.
Prior to the development of instant gelatin aka Jello, gelatin was extremely labor intensive and thus expensive. It was rich folk food that suddenly had a massive crash in price and difficulty to make. So it was in everything for a while, until it stopped being seen as this super high-class thing that the poors finally had access to.
Imagine the price of caviar suddenly plummeted to $0.01/oz, and what the next couple of years of cooking would look like as a result.
