The Jell-O brand was inspired by the gelatin compound, a protein that is created by collagen when it is extracted from boiled bones, connective tissues and animal intestines. Gelatin first became popular during the Victorian period when jelly molds were a crowd pleaser, especially among the high class. Initially, the gelatin compound was sold in sheets and required purification, which proved to be a time consuming task. Peter Coop
