To Holly
I bought Jello puddin pops this summer for my boy in Chicago. They still rock.

That celery flavored jello could have actually tasted good! You would just have to make it hard enough to put the peanut butter on top!

In Canada, Coke is still made with sugar, too.

Also, a few years back Jell-O had a ‘fizzy’ version that you made with Club Soda, I believe. It was quite good and retained its fizz even after it set.

‘crystal gravy! ahahaha! and i want some cola jell-o, unless it’s made with new coke.

@holly–go to popsicle.com and click on ‘where to buy.’ i didn’t even know anyone had picked up the idea again, and i don’t know why it ever went away in the first place. as a kid, i think i could have lived on those things, given the chance.

Sarah in CA, glad someone mentioned the ready bacon. Jeff K, there ARE shortcuts to bacon-shortcuts we buy frequently. They’re great to have when some bacon would be perfect on a sandwich or something, especially since I have a tendency not to plan very far ahead for meals. And unlike real bacon, they don’t go bad. Maybe not a selling point to many (I’d prefer not to know why it doesn’t go bad, although if my chemist husband doesn’t care I assume we’re alright) but my fridge is kind of where fresh food goes to die.

Sorry for the ramble-great list!
