I didn't look it up, but I'm pretty sure I know what it is, as we've got a similar sounding word in German.. Wink

Cool.

In English, "Jello" is the product name brand - gelatin is the actual product.

Jello is a company name here, so only one group can use it.

Bill Cosby did a lot of Jello commercials and somewhere (and I can't remember where of course) I read something that Gilbert said about being in a Jello commercial (he was kidding, I'm almost positive Laughing

) with him and having to sit in his lap and stuff. Laughing

Uh, and why is that funny... I mean other than the mental image of Gilbert sitting in Bill Cosby's lap. Laughing

The mental image. And I think that Gilbert said something about Bill Cosby smiling at him and feeding him Jello. Laughing

I'm looking for the article right now.

Found it.

Interviewer: You've worked with some of the top names in show business. What was it like to work with Bill Cosby on his show?
Gilbert: Well, I got paid off in caseloads of Jell-O. But the problem is, I had to sit in his lap and have him talk to me while I ate it.
