Jell-O lemon box

A Jell-O powdered (stimulated) lemon flavoured box donated by Clara Ronayne and it was made under the brand name “Jell-O”. The Jell-O box is also trade marketed by General Foods Incorporated, as there is details on the back about a coupon sale for saving up 40c on Sanka coffee jars or tins. It is used for creating gelatin desserts. The Jell-O product was first discovered in 1897 from a carpenter named Pearle Wait that experimented with gelatin and made a dessert flavoured substance after trying to make a laxative tea/cough remedy. After unsuccessful attempts of selling his product, he requested a manufacturer of Orator Frank Woodward to market Jell-O around Canada and the United States. Eventually in September 1899, Woodward bought the business and distributed name of “Jell-O”. It was finally used in food products by the Genesee Pure Food Company in 1900 and became a worldwide success. Lemon was one of the earliest jello flavours.
