Jell-O (Bankruptcy, Hot Salesmen and American History!) May 24, 2022

Have you ever wondered how Jell-O came to be the summer-time staple that it is today? Well, it starts with a 27-hour process exclusive to the elite of Medieval Europe and trickles down to be a powdered packaged patent that Peter Cooper cannot seem to sell fast enough. A lot happens from there to the Cherry-flavored Jell-O shots that I took part in last weekend, so take a listen!!
