Well, shit. It never occurred to me to try it with ice cream. Now I know what I'm doing when I get home!
And to answer OP, the last time I made jello was way back in my 20s, with copious amounts of booze in it.
I made Jello late last year to eat while fasting for my colonoscopy. I'm 50. Sometimes I make it when someone in the house is sick.
I make it anytime someone in the house is sick. It's great for when you don't really feel like eating much and you need to stay hydrated.
We make Jell-O shots for every party. Rather than use standard gelatin, we use a gelatin made out of fish bones which works really well. Gin, lemon, elderflower, champagne flavors!
My grandmother made it all the time. My parents seldom made it. I have never made it. I associate it with hospitals and crappy school cafeterias.
Like a year ago
Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.
Like a month ago. I made a jello chocolate fudge pudding pie with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was delicious.

Never made it. My wife buys sugar free jello cups sometimes for dessert.
I'm about middle age and don't believe I have ever made it, even as a child. I have had it, and would consider eating more if it wasn't available in such atrocious colors with false flavorings.
It is currently 85*F in my house and something like jello sounds nice right now as I contemplate what I will cook for dinner haha.
Last year.
Can't stand the shit lol
Er, probably a year ago? I make it occasionally as a snack, but I have to remember to get some from the grocery store. My husband also enjoys it, so when I do make some, it goes quickly.
My grandfather would make sheets of jello, it was his snack he'd feed us when we visited him!
Probably not since I was less than 10. I'm almost 30 now. I should really make some Jell-O
It's been a while tbh now if it's pudding...
I don't know what jello is. Is it just plain jelly? Regards, the non-american world (I assume)
Yeah it’s just a brand of jelly.
To make it more confusing they call jam jelly.

Two days ago!
I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was ... oh shit... years ago.
When I got a colonoscopy a few months ago.
It’s been years since I’ve prepared Jello for consumption at home! I like Jello, but only occasionally eat it when I’ve got a craving.
I don't even know what that is.
About 2 years
I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don't get why it's popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It's usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.
After learning the effects of food dyes, I haven't had jello in over a decade.
Does Jell-O use food dyes?
Yes, most Jell-O contains artificial colors, including red 40, yellow 5, and yellow 6, which are derived from petroleum and may have negative health effects. Some say that these dyes may promote cancer because they contain benzidine, a known carcinogen. Red 40 is also a common ingredient in candy, cereal, baked goods, gelatin powder, drugs, and cosmetics. Some say that side effects of red 40 include hyperactivity, behavioral changes, allergic reactions, hives, asthma, sneezing, watery eyes, skin irritation, and migraines.
