I'll be honest, I haven't seen that much weirdness with Jello since I've lived in Utah. I'll admit to putting some mandarin oranges in my orange Jello as I let it sit and whipped topping on the top when it's done, but that doesn't seem so weird. Does it?
Well, I do have something I want to try with Jello. It's from the June/July 2012 issue of FamilyFun Magazine. I couldn't find it on the website so I took a picture of the page in the magazine.
"Star-spangled Parfait." You just layer red gelatin with whipped topping several times then make the last layer blue gelatin. Simple, but it looks like fun. What a great way to eat it.
What are some other creative ways you've seen Jello used?
Or weird ways?
And remember, July 12 is Eat Your Jello Day, so I want to hear edible ideas.
I've made jello fruit snacks before:

The page has two fruit snacks recipes, one using fruit juice and one using jello.
My Joshua loved helping me make them. Being not-quite-three, he couldn't do much, but it was still fun :)
A friend said, "Years ago, in my singles ward at BYU, I was in charge of monthly post-fireside activities. One month I planned a Jellopalooza and everybody brought a different jello creation. I made two: one was a casserole dish of plain green jello with one giant whole carrot (stalk and all) resting in it; the other was a blue-jello-filled goldfish bowl with gummy fish swimming in it. I have never been so proud of any creative endeavor."
