1905 - Jell-o Ice Cream Powder

This post is inspired by my recent trip to the Jell-O museum in LeRoy, New York.  In 1905 Jell-O was still a new product, struggling to gain popularity with homemakers.  The 10 cent price was considered expensive in those days, equivalent to $2.50 today.  Housewives did not believe the claims that all you had to do was add water to Jell-O to have a dessert.  The product below is a slightly different product than we are familiar with, that is supposed to be used to make ice cream.
