A Brief History

Jell-O, a beloved dessert, has been around since 1897 when Pearle Bixby Wait, a cough syrup manufacturer, experimented with granulated gelatin. His wife, May, suggested adding flavors and food coloring, and voilĂ ! Jell-O was born. The first Jell-O flavors were orange, raspberry, and strawberry. Since then, Jell-O has become an integral part of American dessert culture. And, in 2001, National Eat Your Jell-O Day was officially declared on July 12th!
