At first, I thought this tool might be like a melon baller for scraping out melon or maybe a fruit pitter or a ladle but you said it’s not like that. It could have been shoved in accidentally.

Like another poster upthread said, I’ve got a colonoscopy next Monday. Jello is on my shopping list for this week.

It’s really unusual for a foreign object to end up in packaging at a food factory. I’ve heard of things like metal shavings causing recalls. But I’ve also seen on shows like _How It’s Made_ that many factories x-ray the packages as they exit the production line so most things like this should be caught.

So was the object in the factory-sealed package or outside it?

My family had twonpachinko machines. A pachinko ball is too large for a sound. _Far_ too large. 11 mm.

I don’t think a 6 5/8" metal rod would fit inside of a Jell-O package. Even the “family size” box is only 3.5" x 4.25".

But, I agree, the OP’s title and post are unclear, and he has not returned to clarify.

Good point. The rod couldn’t have been in the Jell-o package. (And I was _assuming_ he was referring to the little boxes of the powdered Jell-o mix and not the refrigerated ready-to-eat Jell-o in the little plastic cups.)

Jello is eaten only for hospital stays and colonoscopy prep.  
Occasionally when following some harebrained diet.

Yes - my condolences also.

I spent two weeks in the hospital, during which I couldn’t get down anything except yogurt, applesauce, and Jello. Twenty pounds lighter I came home not despising them but with a taste for all three.

I feel like I need to try all these now – peach and black cherry Jello, and peach gummy bears too – not necessarily for making Halloween brains, (Here I’m assuming, with some fervency, that’s why you make Jello brains). There are big price differences though. Amazon has three boxes for like $15, sometimes including the gold spoon and sometimes not. Walmart has a box for like $1.80, but it’s in different, cheaper looking packaging. Jell-o is brand name though, right? Knockoffs couldn’t call themselves Jell-o, or could they?

Jell-O is trademarked, so yes, if the package says Jell-O, it’s Jell-O.

The cheaper Wal-Mart package might be smaller, or it might just be Wal-Mart leveraging its huge retail mass to get better deals than other stores (if Wal-Mart says “Sell it to us for cheaper or we won’t carry it at all”, that’s a threat you have to take seriously).

I’m not too fussed, it’s routine. My bigger issue is that they no longer sell peach Jell-o and blue/purple/red is verboten before a scope.

I used the Jolly Rancher version some years ago when I needed a [multipack](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Jolly-Rancher-Jello-1-Green-Apple-1-Cherry-1-Watermelon-1-Blue-Raspberry-2-79oz-Box-Pack-of-4/142103031) for rainbow popcorn. The recipe for which is no longer on the JELL-O website but is basically [this.](https://recipegoldmine.com/chrcandy/jello-rainbow-popcorn-recipe.html) I wanted two batches of red and two batches of green and but _not_ lime. The first time I made the popcorn, I discovered that blue JELL-O turns green when the syrup (I use agave) is added.

According to the maker, Kraft Heinz, peach jello is still made. It may be a seasonal flavor in your market area and your stores chose to not carry it.

Watermelon is also still made according to Kraft Heinz. But even if you could find it , being red you couldn’t eat it pre-scope.

I have scopes approaching. I better start looking now for the 2 or 3 flavors acceptable. Lemon or lime are so boring but in the clinch marginally better than nothing.

IMHO, none of the Jell-O “colors” really taste any different from any other.

I like Lime Jell-O, which I am beginning to think puts me in the minority…
