In the 70s there was this one jello salad that showed up at all the pot lucks and whatnot. Lime jello, pineapple, finely chopped cabbage. Celery?
Apples? Cucumber? Sweet, crunchy, a genius way to trick kids into eating vegetables that hadn't been boiled until grey.

But lime wasn't the only green jello flavour. The madmen at the jello corp couldn't leave good enough alone. They had to introduce savory Jellos.



No.



The first time you bite into green jello and it's not sweet is such a loving betrayal. What the gently caress is this poo poo? Except you're 5 years old and not allowed to say anything. The big scoop of glistening horror sits on your plate, mocking you.


They knew what they were doing. Just throw any loving thing in there you pigs.



They know what they did.

I don't think you should put fish in jello but at least a savory vegetable-flavored one makes more sense.

This is probably one of the few good uses of durian. The taste of 'passionfruit left in the sun mixed with blue cheese' might actually work with a broth plus fatty pork. The smell would be something else.

The other good use is as high nutrient compost.

Ever dreamed of complementing your food with a delicious mango ranch sauce but gave up because it seemed hopelessly out of reach? Well, you may want to sit down because it's soon becoming a reality:

Kraft Heinz Unveils HEINZ REMIX™, The First Customizable Digital Sauce Dispenser



quote:

HEINZ® is no stranger to unique sauce combinations that satisfy fans’ cravings & needs (hello, MAYOCHUP®!). Now, HEINZ REMIX is taking personalized sauces to new heights, creating a first for the sauce and foodservice category. The free-standing machine is touchscreen operated, enabling consumers to first select from a range of “bases” – currently HEINZ Ketchup, Ranch, 57® Sauce, and BBQ Sauce – then personalize further with one or more “enhancers” – currently Jalapeño, Smoky Chipotle, Buffalo, and Mango – at their preferred intensity level (low, medium, high).

These aren't as bad as they look.

They do allow operators (and Kraft-Heinz) to collect data on product usage - but it shouldn't collect any personal data, only statistical data on what products/mixes are being used the most. The bigger deal here is the potential for waste reduction. If anyone ever develops a compostable ramekin, and we can incentivize operators to buy in to industrial composting - it could reduce the trash footprint by a pretty impressive amount. Remember the campaigns over the last couple years to reduce single use plastics? The same is true of condiment packets.

Is it stupid? Sort of. But there is value in it to the businesses involved, and potential value for everyone else. Unless operators suddenly raise their prices to offset the cost, there is basically no downside to the consumer.

Any mention of IoT always makes me cringe, but I actually like the idea of playing around with most of those flavors. Ranch feels like the odd one out though, it's fine but I'm probably not gonna bother trying to make it interesting.

IOT guarantees there will be zero security on these things, but who cares? If you’re giving a condiment machine personal information it’s probably a good idea to take a step back and consider the life choices that got you to that point.

Coca-Cola already has those for sodas, IoT-enabled and all. You see them in a decent spread of fast food places around the US. Condiments seems like a natural next step.

I don't see why either would need the Internet of Things, but if you can do it, I guess sauces may share a lot of ingredients.

Although I feel like something so thick, I wouldn't think you could do the kind of automated mixing in the spray sort of thing, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to work. Or how you're supposed to prevent bits from gunking up or leaving residue that taints other sauces.

That's wild. Their cream soda feels like such a footnote that I've barely ever seen a store carry, I can't even imagine seeing it in a freestyle machine.
