And, what do you call it?
Jello is the brand name for sweet fruity gelatin in the States. It is just made with the mix, hot water and cold water, then refrigerate it until solid. Some people add fruit.
I am pretty sure that some countries call this "jelly". Others might just know it as a gelatin made with fruit juice or something. In Japan, they use agar-agar (a seaweed) to make gelatin desserts.
To me, it is totally unhealthy but on occasion it is a cool comfort food. I just remembered I had a packet and made it. Mine is strawberry.

No idea about it. First time I hear it's name also. If possible share that fruit image, may be I try to find it.

We used to do something like this, but in glasses, not jars.

@petatonicsca I agree. If I am in the lowland areas, I usually have them.

As adults, a lot of people don't like it.

@sophie09 So, what kind of pudding? I like tapioca pudding, vanilla, and chocolate. And coconut. I don't like banana pudding, even though I like bananas.

My least favorite color is green, lime. When I came to Japan and discovered that here, green is melon flavor, I was surprised.

It was kind of the go-to cheap dessert of my childhood.

It's funny how it goes in and out of style.

It does. I don't even want to think about it. But for me, sugar-free things don't agree with my tummy, so I would not mix it.
