Talk:Jell-O

message: The first powdered gelatin for use in desserts was made from goose very effectively and in 1897, sold the patent to cough syrup manufacturer Pearle B. Wait. This means that the first gelatin was itself doing the selling. What is really meant here? 86.143.199.93 06:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Let's get the record straight here. Who put that the first gelatin powder was from geese, and does anyone have a source for it? bibliomaniac15 00:08, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed that Jell-O tastes a lot like Kool-Aid. Considering they are both owned by Kraft, is there a chance that the flavoring used is the same? Just curious 138.88.98.119 01:05, 15/2/2007 (UTC)
:I doubt we'll get the answer to that here. It's possible that they are using the same industry wide available flavourings. I think everything tastes the same in the U.S. --Monotonehell 02:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there would be a strong chance, even if they weren't from the same company.  I'm with Monotonehell: I don't think that there are all that many different varieties of "artificial cherry flavor".  Jolly Rancher candies taste like Kool-Aid and Jell-O, too, I think.  By the way, check out the Taste article.  Mdwyer 06:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Early in the History section, the text reads "In 1845, industrialist Peter Cooper (who built the first American steam-powered locomotive, the Tom Thumb), obtained a patent (US Patent 4084) for powdered gelatin derived from the bones of geese.  Forty years later the patent was sold to a LeRoy, New York-based carpenter and cough syrup manufacturer, Pearle B. Wait."  U.S. patents grant exclusive rights to the patented invention for only 17 years, and after that period the patented concept generally goes into the public domain.  It makes no sense that an 1845 patent could be sold for any value after 1862, since after the patent expires anyone may freely use the patented concept.  Does anybody know the correct history, or can shed light on why Wait would buy an apparently expired patent?
Patent 0004084 (leading zeroes required for search function) is available at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.208.58 (talk) 22:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Jello is a more generic name. If it is clearly talking about the brand, then it should definitely be Jell-O. The other term should probably be restricted to generalizing, comparing or contrasting this brand with other "jellos," or remain largely unused in favor of more generic names for clarity, but that's just my opinion. —PC-XT+ 07:29, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:JelloUtah.jpg

message: Article reads: "By the 1950s, salads became so popular that Jell-O responded with savory and vegetable flavors such as celery, Italian, mixed vegetable, and seasoned tomato."
This gives the impression that the vegetable flavors were released in the 1950s and they were not. Celery and Mixed Vegetable were introduced in 1964 and were followed by Italian Salad and Seasoned Tomato in 1965. This can easily be verified with advertisements found on-line, especially those from newspapers. 71.184.87.187 (talk) 14:29, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
