Email me your address. I'll post you some jello and jello clones to try. (Jello clones are the other brands of gelatin dessert powders on the market. At our store we tend to buy the store-brand ones because they are the least expensive & taste exactly the same).
Note there was a recipe for vodka-laced jello in the page of posting of links I added to Gary's thread.

umm ... which tooth, Ross? Any specific one? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Gary: Me, Jello-challenged? LOL - I guess I have been all my life! The absolute gross horror of my childhood: what we used to call "wobble pudding" (Wackelpudding). Eeek, indeed!
I suspect you can get Jello here in NZ ... it's just not very widely-known and I haven't seen it. But there are a few more US products creeping in; like, you can now get something called Oreos.
It actually took me reading this thread (I had to laugh so hard, I gave it 4 stars);) for a memory to flood back - after all these years ... 1969 in a Louisiana school cafeteria ... me confronted with a lunch tray containing a bowl with the most vilely multi-coloured small transparent cubes. I turned pale as a ghost, apparently, and dashed out in a hurry. My guess is that that was Jello [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]
Wolfgang: your Xar-o label looks very convincing. And ...: Haribo macht Kinder froh - und Erwachsene ebenso! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Tom/Synder:

You hit it on the nail with your description! LOL
And please don't be shy about posting your Xara concoctions here ... I regularly and happily make a fool of myself and have never regretted it.

you are right, the brand is dr. oetker. Comes very good as lemon and made 60% tequila and 40% water, we had them once just for fun. I live in Ramstein, which is I think the biggest american airport outside the united states, so we are very well supplied with all that "bx-stuff", like coolaid, bulls eye and so on, but now, after this appetizing thread, i think i am going to ask a friend to get me some of that grape stuff. germans only produce the common tastes, like lemon, strawberry or cherry.

Cranberry-flavoured jello is a Canadian favorite in the fall season. Yummy! Tart & sweet. Seek it out to try. I don't know if the Americans have such sophisticated flavours. (Our Atlantic Canadian McDonald's even have yummy McLobster sandwiches in the summer).

Have to bring this up once again.
For all Jell-O challenged, here's a tip:
I succeeded in making near-Jell-O by using
0.5 litres of fruit juice or lemonade (~ 2 cups)
6 grams of ground gelatine (or any other form of it)
Preparation is like the 'real' stuff: Bring half of the juice (or less) to a boil. Take away from the heat and stir in gelatine until totally dissolved.
Add rest of the juice, stir once again and fill in cups or any other suitable container.
Refrigerate for 4+ hours.
Voila: Jell-O, Wackelpudding, Götterspeise !!
I made successful attempts with lime-lemonade and black currant juice. Try and find your favourite ..
I also add a little Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to the almost cooled off mixture. It adds to the flavour and makes it healthy as well ...
Ross: Thanks again for your offer, I hope I don't seem ungrateful ..

Wow so much talk about Jello and Gummi bears. They are both great treats! I grew up eating Jello and Gummmy Bears. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]
