Hey Gary:

Here is the story from the person I got the Jello case from:

So, the backstory on this Jell-O case is a bit unconventional. I typically find items to resell from local estate sales. Many people where we are based in Utah, are encouraged to keep a year's supply of food, if at all possible, to help oneself and one's family in the event of an unexpected event or job loss, a natural disaster, or other type of emergency. However, most people that do this rotate their supply, so they don't end up with a bunch of unusable, expired food items. However, occasionally, I'll come across someone's food storage supply that hadn't been rotated in a long while, where I'll find vintage products from decades long past. I'll sometimes pick up some of these items to sell to different movie production/television prop mangers that I've worked with and who scout looking for authentic, period props to use on sets in various movies and on television shows--you can find my Skippy Super Chunk Peanut Butter from the 1980s in "Stranger Things" for example. Anyway, I found this case of Jell-O long forgotten on the very top shelf in a lady's food storage room behind some other, less exciting long-expired things It was virtually untouched in all it's 60 years. I typically don't come across food items quite this old. Nevertheless, I thought it was an interesting find, so I picked it up thinking It'd most likely sell to Hollywood prop managers. Hope you enjoy it!

Great story Fred. I'm gonna have to watch Stranger Things again to see your Skippy Super Chunk Peanut Butter

It is a wonderful piece and I've enjoyed reading the back and forth, but since the true lede here seems to have been buried, I'm just gonna put it out there:

"Orange-Pineapple"??? In the name of all that is good and holy, please tell me the carton contained some orange jello boxes and some pineapple jello boxes, and not some foul combination literally called "Orange Pineapple". Ewww....

fresh Orange juice/ pineapple juice mixed is a quite tasty drink
