On this episode of Our American Stories, invented in 1897, Jell-O quickly worked its way into the hearts—and stomachs—of Americans. In war and peace, in sickness and in health, from Greek houses to inflatable pools, Jell-O was there. Here to tell the story is Simon Whistler, host of the Today I Found Out YouTube channel and its sister podcast, The Brain Food Show.
