Fast, easy, and cheap, Jell-O has reigned as "America's Most Famous Dessert" for more than 100 years, but where, when, and how did it all begin? Junk-food authority Carolyn Wyman answers these questions and tells more about the sweet primordial slime than you ever thought there was to know, in more than 200 illustrations and a highly digestible text with recipes and sidebars. Smirk at the antics of Jell-O sponsored radio star Jack Benny who, according to his wife Mary Livingstone, "never ate the stuff," and long-running pitchman Bill Cosby. Read about Jell-O's vital role in the 1923 version of The Ten Commandments, The Wizard of Oz, and the notorious food-fight scene in Animal House, as well as Jell-O artwork by Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, and Kewpie Doll creator Rose O'Neill. Learn alternative uses for gelatin as an art supply, pool filler, wrestling medium, foot soak, hair gel, and kitty litter deodorizer, as well as where you can buy anatomically correct Jell-O molds, & how much your old Jell-O recipe book is worth. This is Americana at its jiggly best. 146 pages, softcover, brand new copy .  San Diego, CA, U.S.A.: Harcourt Trade Publishers, 2001
