JELL-O® doesn't need any introduction whatsoever. Just like the word "Google," the world's most popular, most visited search engine website, the word "JELL-O" has been indebted into our lingual/verbal vernacular to relate to a product or service to bring about a point we try to convey. It's been used and shared endlessly, coming from the word "gelatin."

There really isn't much to say about JELL-O other than the fact it simply tastes good. With a variety of ways to prepare JELL-O, it succinctly can be best referred to as the most versatile food product known to Man. Whether you prepare it as a treat for kids, or make "JELL-O Shots," the possibilities keep growing and growing.

Because the contents are pretty large, be wary of how much water you add. If the water added is less than the required amount, the gelatin becomes too thick and may take time for your body to digest it. Worse, a lot of it may cause heartburn (yeah, it's one of those kinds of foods). Other than that, the orange flavor is superb.

Like the Royal® Gelatin, it does say "Artificial Flavor" on the front of the box but it's a bit more subtle. Still, picky shoppers/eaters wouldn't want to be detracted knowing that what they're about to purchase/eat isn't natural. Besides all that, you can't go wrong with a box of JELL-O. Try using orange juice instead of water to prepare this!
