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.
Whaaaaa … ???
That was the best flavor!
Everything I love is taken away from me. { whimper }
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.)
I was making a joke, but my condolences.
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 used to have one. I still regret giving it away.
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 dont think they care about the color anymore. YMMV.
Lime jello is always available, tho’
Still available on Amazon.
Jolly Rancher also has their own version.
I used the Jolly Rancher version some years ago when I needed a multipack for rainbow popcorn. The recipe for which is no longer on the JELL-O website but is basically this. 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.
My instruction sheet specifically lists it, unfortunately.
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…
