Looking for an excuse to embrace your geek side with something sweet? This weekend's DIY from the blog My Jell-O Americans (which wins the award for best website name pun of all time) via Craft magazine, shows us crafters how to get wiggly with our origami fundamentals.
The origami paper is made of granulated gelatin, water, and food coloring. Check out the video on Craft for all the details on creating a funky, folded treat.
Amid our obsession with cooking with gelatin this Summer, PartySugar pondered about gelatin sheets versus powder. (Be sure to leave your own questions for the community!) What are the different kinds of gelatin, and how are they different? To find out, keep on reading.
After a 10-year break, Kraft's Jell-O and Bill Cosby are back together. The legendary Cosby Show comedian, who appeared in Jell-O commercials for nearly 30 years, is once again partnering with the gelatin and pudding company in its newest marketing campaign.
Although his last stint with Jell-O was in front of the camera in 1999, this time, the actor will be behind the camera as executive producer of the brand's new multimillion-dollar "Hello Jell-O" campaign, which features an updated Jell-O logo with a smiling face.
In addition to the brand's ads, which will begin airing on Monday, Jell-O will also sponsor the comedian's new weekly web series, OBKB, which will consist of 10-minute episodes on Cosby's own Ustream channel.
Next month, Cosby will help Kraft kick off a 22-city tour in Los Angeles to find the country's best giggle. To check out one of Jell-O's latest spots, read more.
Perhaps it's the fact that Julia Child's chart-topping tome, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, features an array of aspics. Maybe it's because we're in an era when gourmands are obsessed with playing with their food. Or the fact that Jell-O is a cheap and cheerful thrill during a sweltering economic downturn. Either way, the retro favorite Jell-O appears poised to make a comeback. Nevertheless, with its jiggly quality and slippery texture, gelatin's always been somewhat of a polarizing food. What do you think of it?

On this day in 1897, Jell-O began its long, jiggly journey into American history. When Pearle B. Wait developed the first fruit-flavored gelatin dessert more than 100 years ago, he probably never could have guessed that his invention would later spawn such inventions as Jello-O shots and Jello-O wrestling.
