This article comes at the perfect time, just as I was contemplating how certain cultural artifacts, even culinary ones, get archived and remembered. Your vivid description of that gelatinous nightmare is brilliant, though I'm not convinced our current societal 'algorithms' are prepared for such a controversial re-introduction without a lot of debugging.
Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you liked it. You might enjoy the upcoming episode of Tunnel Vision, our companion podcast, where we discuss The Whole Earth Catalogue, a 1960's cultural artifact that has its fingerprints all over the founding mythology of Silicon Valley!
Rebecca G, Congratulations! For making a comment, you've earned the exclusive Down the Rabbit Hole Vintage Jell-O gift box! A selection of six vintage Jell-O flavors in their original 1972 boxes recovered from the shelves of an undisclosed abandoned home in rural Nebraska (with nearly all the inner wax bags still unopened!).
