Jack Benny for… Jell-O Freezing Mix Ice Cream ?!?

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.
