I’ve had Benny on the brain lately (more on Jack Benny and his old time radio program at another date) and came across this swell little ad. Jell-O ice cream, huh? Okay, doesn’t sound so bad at first if they just slapped their name on some fruit-based ice cream or sherbet but maple walnut “freezing mix”? I don’t know about that…
Ad is from sometime between the mid 1930s and early 1940s back when Jell-O was Benny’s sponsor.
Awesome post! I love it!
Keep the “cool” Benny stuff comin’.
This product may have been introduced May 1936 and maybe only in New York/ New England.
