Jello

Wobbly molded treat

Jello is a brand name for flavored gelatin dessert, now used generically for any similar product.

The dessert jiggles distinctively when set, giving rise to comparisons: My legs felt like Jello after the run.

Jello shots are alcoholic drinks made by mixing liquor into the gelatin.

There's always room for Jello was the advertising slogan.
