Are we surprised jack has resorted to using AI art for his merch? It's easy to talk to the app with his phone and he doesn't have to use his stroke brain to decipher shape and colour.
Rob keeps subtle mentioning this thread, I wonder what the end game is. I would love to get some insight on their in person meeting. I saw the video Rob gave us of Jack gimping around but I'd like to know if he was an insufferable jerk irl with his "fan". I wonder if he talked about the Mega church or jr at all.
I'm more surprised he's making new merch. He must get absolutely fuck all sales. It's lunacy.

He has literally nothing else to do all day, every day when he's not stuffing his slack-jawed maw. Surely this new mug with an asinine motto and a bit of stolen clip art will finally be the one to move 50,000 units and make Jack rich.

Rob's new video is a redo of Party Cheese Salad and features a comment taken directly from this thread.

Rob I'm so proud I could burst the bubble on your Amazing Day™ and I have no complaints this time. I actually really like this.
I'm not sure if I ever brought this up before but I was bored once and spent a couple hours trying to dissect the Party Cheese Salad recipe. I know most people assume it's just an autistic 70s Jell-O recipe and it mostly is but the ingredient combination make those tuna salad Jell-O molds look sane. With a lot of persistent searching, (I can't find it now and it was a very obscure website) I was able to find a recipe that actually had the same ingredients but used lime instead of lemon Jell-O and I remembered Jack saying you could use Lime or Lemon Jell-O. Lime "Jell-O Salad" is actually a pretty obscure southern dessert (also from around the time of the retro Jell-O recipes) that can be made a few different ways. Some recipes usually use cottage cheese, mayo & evaporated milk in place of the cream cheese & cool whip which leads me to believe that the cool whip + cream cheese was a way to simplify and sweeten the recipe. This recipe comes a little bit closer but omits the vegetables. This recipe, adds celery to it which makes sense. It doesn't really put out a ton of flavor and is mostly there for the crunch. The first thing that makes this dish so vile is the pimentos. I could not find a single recipe that used diced pimentos. Even the one that matched Jack's didn't use pimentos. The last recipe called for pistachios but not pimentos. I fully believe Aunt Myrna knew better and told him pimentos and all this other shit just to confuse and mock Jack. The bell pepper could have been a normal part of the recipe but the only time I could find these recipes was a more traditional savory Jell-O mold style recipe from a 1980 Betty Crocker cookbook that used even worse ingredients like onions & vinegar. Also other than Velveeta Shreds (were these around at that time?) there's no such thing as shredded American cheese. The only thing I can think is Jack cut up strips from a Kraft single.

But the one thing that almost all of these recipes do that Jack and all of his haydurs did wrong? They drain the pineapple and then use the juice make the Jell-O separately first, let it cool a bit (but not set) and then fold in the cool whip and all the other ingredients. When you're basically boiling together all these ingredients and cooking all the vegetables down in pineapple, cream cheese and cool whip, I'm not shocked that you're getting that "bile" flavor.

Other than omitting the vegetables, Rob did great by also separating the cool whip from the remainder.
I think the next big chef personality will be the one that can reverse-engineer Aunt Myrna's Party Cheese Salad into the next viral Tik Tok recipe. Great work Rob! 👏

And that print-on-demand crap only costs a bit of your time to set up, so it's perfect for feeding the big boy YouTuber delusion with your own "merch line".

I think it's been said here before, but Jell-O salads were historically lemon, until they added lime as a flavor. Tastes and budgets were such that people accepted lemon or lime Jell-O salads as a way of using up leftovers and stretching savory ingredients. Then in the 1960s Jell-O sold savory flavors specifically for use in salads/aspics, noting in the marketing that it's more appropriate to use a non-sweet base for a savory salad.

This is a job for a forensic culinary anthropologist, but Aunt Myrna's recipe could have originated as a fully savory one, maybe even from a Jell-O sponsored feature in a ladies' magazine, then been elaborated on and changed as savory Jell-O was discontinued, as other recipes were remembered, as different leftovers were available in the kitchen. Other than chemical considerations like pineapple, the historical draw of a Jell-O salad was that you can put anything in there.

A bit off-topic, but man, 3-D gelatin art is pretty. Lots of videos of little Hispanic grandmas showing three things they're good at: desserts, decorating things with flowers, stabbing something a million times with a smile. These are all gelatin (or agar), not Jell-O made with flowers in them:

From what I can tell now that I've gone on a cooking shorts binge with Dylan Hollis, Aunt Myrna's specific recipe looks like an evolution of 7-Up Jello Salads.

In particular, this variant comes to mind. It has a similar base, it has nuts, it has the cream cheese, it has a red substance in its make, and it even has coolwhip. It looks like it was fused with another variant that also has cheese with it.

I remember that one, it’s absolutely fucking rancid. What was wrong with people in the 70s. Now that we’re involving other cooks we should hire cook historian tasting history to see what the true origins are and what this abomination would look like.

I wonder if the ebbing percentage of smokers has anything to do with changing food tastes.

Corporate food in the 2020s is fattier and sweeter than the 1920s, sure, but 7Up salad is horrendously sweet and would be acceptable today, except for everything else about it.

Smoking wouldn't be the only answer, but it'd be interesting if it could be traced to a blunting of taste preferences. Hot sauce wasn't big back then, but if all someone could taste was "sweet" then they might be eating mostly with their eyes and go nuts for 7Up salad.

You ever help a very demented person eat? Some people get to the point where sweetness is their only criterion for whether they'll keep eating something, or swallow it. If someone's like that you end up having to pour sugar packets into their puréed food, at least the meat/protein dish, and ply them with Ensure.

I'm sure it was a lot less sweet back then, too.

I dunno; comparing the 3 oz box of lime Jell-O, the ingredient order hasn't changed (dextrose and sugar being the same thing).

Snip from an article about the Rosenberg trial (so it's late '40s to 1951):1710538522178.png
Hot off the press:

I wonder if Jell-O Corporate plays down their involvement in the Rosenberg spy case? Obviously Jell-O was innocent, but one of the smoking guns was that they used a torn-in-half Jell-O box flap to identify a contact. Lime Jell-O is up there with grape Flavor-Aid if you're making a Potluck of Infamy.

It was done. One of the problems with these massive legacy threads is that they occasionally circle back. I believe the thread did the homework on Myrna's Salad around the time Penguin0 started memeing on the party salad. It's absolutely meant to be savory, not sweet at all.

The smoking angle is an interesting thought though, everyone smoked back then.
 
Jack made a boo boo on his playlist. *cough*

Jack's getting desperate for cash, that scam new house in Tennessee isn't gonna to pay for itself. Hammy's wageslave salary must not be cutting it anymore and Youtube likely hasn't paid out in years due to him barely getting any views that aren't from hatewatchers despite his inflated 500k viewer count from the early 2010s
