JELL-O Celebrates 20th Anniversary of JELL-O(R) Jigglers(R)

Reminds Families of Many Fun Snack Time Uses for JELL-O


LEROY, NY--(Marketwire - July 27, 2009) - This year, JELL-O is celebrating the 20th anniversary of JELL-O®JIGGLERS®, the beloved wiggly, jiggly gelatin shape snack recipe that brings fun and creativity to snack time. To celebrate, there is a special exhibit showcasing JIGGLERS at the JELL-O Museum in LeRoy, New York. 

  • The JIGGLERS exhibit reminds visitors of the simple joy and fun JELL-O brings to families. It displays everything from the first JIGGLERS' cutouts to vintage television spots from the famous Bill Cosby JELL-O JIGGLERS' commercials.
  • Created by Kraft Foods, the JELL-O JIGGLERS recipe remains a snack time favorite today.  The colorful, bite-sized cutouts are easy to make using a pan of any flavor of JELL-O gelatin and seasonal cutters or molds (or everyday household items like cookie cutters or cupcake tins).
  • With over 25 flavors of JELL-O gelatin, Kraft Foods has developed lots of new JELL-O snacking ideas like "Jellin'-Melon" Snacks, a fun-to-make snack using JELL-O and a hollowed out melon. With so many options, the possibilities for creative snacking with the family are endless.
    • To join in the celebration, follow the creative snack time recipes for JIGGLERS and "Jellin'-Melon" Snacks (recipes displayed on right).
