Anyone actually like those jello salads?

How exactly does one end up consuming whipped cream and ketchup?

Someone I was friends with heard that it tasted like strawberries and I was the only one dumb enough to try it. I was also dumb enough to not check when the ketchup expired

That is the only time I have ever thrown up from food

That is beyond me! Who thinks about these weird dishes!

Haven't had one since the late 50s, haven't had any kind of Jello in I don't know how long, unless we count ballistic gel.

My Nana used to make a green jello salad every holiday. My family continued it after she died. Then my ex hated it so I haven’t had it in years. I miss it! Maybe I’ll ask my mom for the recipe again.

Ambrosia is alright, marshmallows, whip cream, fruit... No mayo or savory to it cause that's gross.
BUT my mom used to make banana mayo sandwiches for us when I was a kid, not a fan.

The closest I’ve seen to that here is just jello with fruit (that goes with the jello flavor). Im not a huge jello fan and while some of those looked okay the majority looked horrible.

Still would take any of those over whipped cream mixed with very old expired ketchup though… I am pretty sure that caused me trauma

Ew, what? So gross!

My friend's dad ate those. It used to gross us out when we were kids! Still not something I want.

I'm not a fan of opaque jello. I just don't trust it But my husband's family tradition is a green jello mold for Thanksgiving, so I suspect I'll have to look at it every year for the rest of my life because my kids seem to like it too.

Now layered jello, that's another story. That's just regular jello stacked on top of each other. And I am a big fan of poke cakes.
