jello cups

Portable gelatin servings

Jello cups are individual servings of flavored gelatin dessert sold in small plastic containers, typically found in grocery store refrigerator sections or packed in school lunches.

The premade convenience distinguishes them from gelatin prepared at home: She packed jello cups in the kids' lunchboxes.

They're associated with childhood, hospital meals, and cafeteria fare.
