perry92964 Gelatine was centuries old and Jello was half a century old and had already been through a super-popular phase earlier in the century. What made things Jello popular in the 50's was a combination of some women staying in the workplace after WWII while many had gone home and gone back to households that more convenience devices so they were often bored. Marketing and ad agencies took advantage of this with huge ad campaigns with weird recipes using convenience food that required more time and energy to make then the foods prepared according to package directions. Like the weird Tiktok food trend, but 1950s style.

"Everything is better suspended in gel!" - People in the 50's

I can totally see this being served at some sort of church ladies' function in the 1960s, along with about 20 other kinds of Jello salad. My mom (a church lady in the 1960s) was always making Jello salads for things, but I don't think even she would have gone this far. Put chunks of melon IN the Jello, yes. But not put the Jello in the melon. (I loved Jello as a kid, but despised Jello salads unless they had the little colored marshmallows in them.)

Actually gelatin towers were the centerpieces of dinners as early as 1910s up to the 70s. Also, gelatin and ice cream were seen as dessert of affluent people back in the day. Actually, on the dinner menu of the Titanic the night it sank, they ate a gelatin with peaches and french vanilla ice cream as tenth course (dessert) along with waldorf pudding.

I love when something turns out right and you get so aggressive with your excitement. 😂🥰 You are so awesome also. Dont be crude at the dinner table! 😂

Emmy the way you describe the taste of things is hugely inspiring to me. Describing flavors and emotions behind them is such a unique talent and it impresses me every time!

The pulpy, moist, eviscerated melon!! Someone had to, I hope I was the first..

I dont know if this is a Texas thing or if others do it but my dad used to cut a cantaloupe in half scoop out the seeds and put vanilla ice cream in the cantaloupe. It was natures ice cream bowl. I just remember it being the best treat.

I'm shocked that the frosty part didn't contain Miracle Whip or Cool Whip. Is that even allowed in a retro jello recipe?

He only knows about 15 words and your name is one of them 😂😂 you also have my older son saying "so stinking cute" ALL THE TIME. Lol. Love your biggest fans, Angel, Kaz, Alaskah, and Ayden. Xo

I saw you on an ad today. A real ad. Way to go Emmy! I wasn't looking at the screen when it started but I recognized your voice immediately.

“Melon epcot center” is an accurate description

"Its so good to see you" new addition to the intro? love it, so positive

The sound effects!! 😂🤣😂 LOVE IT! 🖤♥️❣️

Emmy! Don't forget, _it's melon season_ ! You *ROCK* . 😉

Hey emmy! Those seedy and syrupy thing you removed from the middle of the melon can be used to make a refreshing melon juice. Just mix it in with water and add some sugar syrup and serve on ice. You can even add some melon shavings to add some "pulpiness" to it.

I remember seeing this book being shared around by coworkers, this was in the mid 70s.

As a child, we had Jello with fruit cocktail very often. We called it Jello with friends. We sealed it in tupperware and every now and them we'd grab the bowl and shake it vigorously, finally letting it set up. It was great. Momma liked to mix cottage cheese and lime Jello. She rarely had competition for that, however! lol

I had that jello recipe book! Just a slightly different cover. I made several of those recipes back in the 70's and was recently thinking about them. I would love to make them again. They were recipes that included whipped cream. Yum!

I absolutely love this channel! 2020 is filled with such negativity and awful things. It’s so refreshing to have a safe place for such positivity and happiness!

Thanks for the memories. I grew up with the (60's staple version) book, and enjoyed looking at the colorful pages. Try Sawdust Salad sometime.

This reminds me so much of my mum growing up in the kitchen. She was just constantly experimenting. Sometimes it was great, other times, not so much.

My grandma used to pour sausage gravy over cantaloupe slices and serve it for breakfast. I loved it as a kid-I haven’t had it in years.

I used to make Jello all the time when my kids were growing up, especially in summer. I used the quick set method and the kids used to take the left over ice outside and put them in their mouths to slurp the jello off. 😁

Yay! Retro recipes and MRE tastings are my favorite :)))

Wow they sure got creative with jello back in the day! 😆

It is weird how tastes transports one back in time. Unglazed chocolate cake with warm custard reminds me of my nursery-school days where I first had it.

This could be so cute for Halloween, with the green and orange together. Just need a little spooky decoration.

Love all the retro Jello recipes. Also, would love to see an episode on Watergate Salad - the unearthly fluff on my family Thanksgiving table well into the 2000s. One of the more successful creations of the era.

If you "iced" that with Cool Whip instead, that would be BOMB.

Emmy, your retro recipes are so amusing. I enjoy them so much!! Just listening to you describe everything makes me feel like I'm right there with you tasting everything.

i think food might be a good way to recall a memory because taste is tied to scent, and scent-based memories are some of the strongest we have.

*Wow! That’s amazing! I want to try it*

the parsley totally brought me back to going to diners and supper club type places with my parents in the early 80s and there was always a parsley garnish on the plate. Also, I'm grateful that it was cream cheese on the outside, and not mayo. :)
