Au contraire...it’s a national tragedy of unimaginable proportions!

The jello salad gave rise to a brief fad in the 60s and 70s which has come to be known as vomit clocks. These disgusting devices were made in jello molds and consisted of rocks and other objects embedded in clear or tinted resin. They used the cheapest possible electric movements. These atrocities resembled jello salads, but weren't perishable (except when they took a well deserved flying leap into the garbage pail).
