I was just eating some Jello. I realized I liked it A LOT better when I wa a kid. Now, I can take it or leave it. Most of the time, I don't like it. Do you like Jello? Did you like it as a child? If you still like it, what is your favorite flavor?

Me too. Although after I had surgery and was on a "liquid diet" that allowed me to eat Jello I did appreciate it more and the fact that it came in a bunch of flavors. I do like Jello brand pudding and still eat it, I just don't eat the geletin any more.

Yup, I like Jello, especially if it is served with ice-cream or cut fruits like pineapples or mangoes. It's often hot over here, so it's nice to have jello. My favorite flavors are strawberry, grape and raspberry.

I liked it a lot better when I was a kid too. Except when my mom put fruit cocktail in it and ruined it. I don't like it at all now. I really don't like the way it feels in my mouth. Yuck.

I don't eat very much Jell-o anymore. I did like it a lot when I was a kid though. My favorite is Lime Jell-o. I only have it about 2 times a year. My kids don't go crazy over it either. They prefer pudding to Jell-o.

You probably would not eat it if you knew where it came from. How can a kid resist that sweet sweet taste and intense artificial flavour? Kids seem to like things brightly coloured devoid of any nutrition at all and Jello fills that bill nicely. I still enjoy Jello, but with a pudding or some fruit.

Hi. Do I like jello?... I can't stand it actually. The wierd thing is I used to love it as a child. Maybe it's the fact that I ate so much of it when I was young or maybe it's because I can't stand the way it jiggles and wiggles around and tastes kind of slimey and slippery in your mouth. My daughter loves it. Only the strawberry flavor. I used to like the strawberry and peach flavors but now I'd much rather have some frozen yoghurt.

Same for me as well.I guess if you diet it would be better than not having anything sweet at all.If I do eat it which is rarley I like to put a can of fruit cocktail in it.Its good..But I like their puddings better than the Jello...Jello is good for recipes though!!
