Trivia: Which of these was NOT once a flavor of Jell-O?
Celery
Asparagus
Mixed Vegetable
Lime
The correct answer is Asparagus
So why is this answer correct? : Although powdered gelatin was patented in 1845, it would be another 50 years before Jell-O hit the market. Its first four flavors were strawberry, lemon, orange, and raspberry — but that was just the beginning. In the mid-1900s, a food trend known as “congealed salads” became popular, and Jell-O capitalized on it with new savory flavors like Italian and Mixed Vegetable, which have since been discontinued.
