Umm...Haloween is like 7 months away...I think I got my costume worked out in my head, now I just need to make it a reality.
Anyone got any Jello, preferably Lime? Oh and a 10'x10'x10' mold and a refrigerated semi trailer I could hang out in for about a day or so? I'll bring the Snorkel.
I have no comment on this thread all requests for coments should be directed to the cube giggling to my left

I used to work in a beef slaughterhouse. I know what goes into Jello.
Did you know that the exact same stuff is used in pavement, plastics, and cosmetics (with the addition of Vitamin E from a big barrel)?
Did you know that not only hooves go into Jello, but bones, bone marrow, and gristle? And by gristle I mean the really really tough, virtually unchewable ligaments on a boney old milk cow.
All that stuff gets thrown into a huge cooker, and 'rendered' (not to be confused with the transport of terror suspects to countries that don't get squeamish about torturing people) at a very high temperature until they are boiled into a sludgy paste. The paste is dehydrated at a different plant, pulverized into a powder, then the granules are mixed with color and flavor powders, put into a box, and shipped to your store.
Yum.

holy cr@p, gristle? i always thought gristle was gross, but now i know that it is totally yummy. do the different flavors of jello come from the different flavored cows gristle? like does strawberry jello come from the same milk cows that put out that Nestles strawberry milk that i love so darn much? i sure hope so. i sure do hope so.
So, the fact that the cow is not going to waste and they are trying to use as much of it as possible is a bad thing? We could be just taking the prime cuts and throwing away the rest.
It may sound disgusting, but in reality humans have been eating a lot more disgusting things for a long time.

I'll keep my Jello thanks
I always felt funny about the term "Jell-O Mold"...
now I have further support in my uneasiness!
Personally, i'm more grossed out by a 10' cube of jello that tastes like Anastasios funk then what they put in it.

I am not saying it is a bad thing at all. As a matter of fact, I had a bowl of jello with my kids last weekend. I also still eat and enjoy hamburger, steaks, roasts, anything off of a cow. I wouldn't turn down insulin either, if I was diabetic.
However, we don't actually take the prime cuts and throw the rest away. For the most part, we take the prime cuts and sell the rest overseas. It was a monthly event to have buyers from Asia or Europe come and tour the plant and negotiate for thousands of pounds of things like button bones, cheek meat, slunk, and other stuff like that.
The byproducts, like jello ingredients, get used here because they aren't worth shipping in their unprocessed state. Only after they have been turned into Jello or lipstick or asphalt roofing tiles are they profitable to transport.
