Jell-O (/ˈdʒɛloʊ/) is a registered trademark of Kraft Foods for a type of gelatin dessert, which is also used to refer to all gelatin-like desserts.
Etymology
The term "Jell-O" is derived from the main ingredient, gelatin, and the "-O" suffix was added to make the name sound more appealing and unique. The brand was first introduced in 1897 by the Genesee Pure Food Company in Le Roy, New York.
Description
