Transcript
Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack Angelo.

Speaker A:

Sold three limited edition no thanks.

Speaker A:

Thanksgiving molds in the shape of three divisive Thanksgiving foods, including Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce and pecan pie.

Speaker A:

Now, they're not flavors, they're just molds.

Speaker A:

Jell O is celebrating their 125th anniversary and these molds were available on Walmart.com exclusively.

Speaker A:

But I checked earlier and they were all sold out.

Speaker A:

Now again, they're not doing the flavors, it's just shapes.

Speaker A:

So a Brussels sprout kit and that one comes with lime jello.

Speaker A:

A cranberry jello kit, which of course comes with with cranberry, but it looks like, you know, sliced up cranberry sauce.

Speaker A:

And a pecan pie one which is actually orange flavored.

Speaker A:

Again, they sold out.

Speaker A:

A little disappointed I didn't get to get to get into that.

Speaker A:

Although you think about it, Jell O, that looks like Brussels sprouts.

Speaker A:

That, that would look terrible.

Speaker A:

But to be fair, no matter what it looks like, we need Jello.

Speaker A:

Jell O is important.

Speaker A:

Can you imagine all the ways that life would be different without Jello?

Speaker A:

Well, gather round, folks.

Speaker A:

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Speaker A:

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Speaker A:

Here comes the fun.

Speaker A:

It's the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

These are the top six ways in which life would be different.

Speaker A:

Worse.

Speaker A:

Of course, without Jello coming in at 6, the hospital cafeteria would have nothing to disgust us with.5, the only thing that Aunt Gladys would bring to Thanksgiving is casual racism.

Speaker A:

Four, mothers would have to find a different way to bribe dumb kids to finish their peas.

Speaker A:

Three, we would not have anything to throw out four years after the expiration date.

Speaker A:

Number two, we'd have to donate something to food drives that actually costs money.

Speaker A:

Oh, no.

Speaker A:

And the number one way that life would be different without Jello, we would have no way to describe Sydney Sweeney on a trampoline bouncy bounce.
