Unless you have excessively old-fashioned parents, you likely haven't thought about Jell-O in a long time. But back in the day, Jell-O was the go-to dessert for families everywhere, like a nice bowl of puffy Cheetos or pack of Reese's Pieces are today.
Except 90% of the concoctions the psychos over at Jell-O came up with were even crazier than that time Oreo made a wasabi flavor. Tuna and Jell-O? Lime cottage cheese and pineapple Jell-O? Give me a break.
Here are 20 photos remembering some of the worst uses of Jell-O in history.
