Food Review of Temptations by Jell-O

Jello: Love It or Hate It?

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.

Delilicious: J-E-L-L-O

There's just something about Jello — I don't know if it's the bright colors, the jiggly consistency or the actual flavor, but kids love it.
