Etsy Find: There's Something in My Jello

7.30.09 jello 1.jpgThis print of a jello mold with various inappropriate items is a fantastic piece for the kitchen! We love the slightly kitschy 60s flair of the shape and colors, and the playful choice of various "alien" items within...

 
 

7.30.09 jello 2.jpgMrsloaf has a small assortment of kitchen-themed prints with a vintage-inspired aesthetic that we love. The Jello Print is the one that originally caught our eye, and is a combination digital, silkscreen and block print. Available in two "flavors," Orange and Lime, Mrsloaf's jello prints were inspired by what she calls a "recent resurgence of Jello." Bompas & Parr, self proclaimed Jelly mongers are one of Mrsloaf's inspirations, as well as this article on Eat Me Daily on a particularly impressive Jello mold competition.

We love the throwback imagery and the bold colors of Mrsloaf's prints--seen also in her great popsicle and cafeteria tray prints. Long live the Jello mold!

I think this is awful and makes me want to stay away for Jello, which used to be an innocent dessert.

Playful? How is finding a razor blade in your dessert playful?

"Innocent dessert"???...it's made of skin and bones.

Gelatin (from French gélatine) is a translucent, colourless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones.
...
Gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the bones, connective tissues organs, and some intestines of animals such as domesticated cattle, pigs, and horses.

Best served on bone china:
Bone china is a type of porcelain body first developed in Britain in which calcined cattle bone (bone ash) is a major component.

I thought they were pretty funny, the images, especially the one with the utility blade.

For a few reasons...when I've start doing some kind of craft or project or little house job, THAT is when I realize my utility blade REALLY needs to be replaced. It's not something I have on my mind at the store. Now I will probably remember, just by passing the baking and jello aisle!

Second, when I was little, and money had value, my mum would wrap coins in foil and put them in the cake mix for a birthday party. This was, of course, before children choked on such things. Children had some sense back then.

Except for me, who shoved a button up my own nose. It was that "shove things up the nose" stage. You know. Doesn't everyone go through that? Someone? Anyone? Bueller?

Last, ever dropped something inappropriate into a cake or meatloaf? Come on. You know you have. At least a hair. Oh, sure, hair is the crowning glory while it's still attached, but if it is not attached to the head, suddenly it has cooties. And sometimes you can't find it again...

At least with jello, you could see it.

I don't know if this is the result of a serve problem or not, but the comments on this thread don't exist for me. If they were actually deleted, I will laugh. My own comment was something like "how is finding a razor blade in your Jello playful?" which seems like a valid question given the work presented above and the language used to describe it. Maybe the negative comments haven't been deleted, but the server is malfunctioning.
