13 Weird Jello Creations That Will Make You Shiver & Shake (PHOTOS)

Jello is just weird. Do you ever spend time thinking about the stuff? It's wiggly and transparent, it comes in any unnatural color you could ask for, it sort of stands up on its own, but in a totally unreliable way. You can put stuff in it. You can set it into all kinds of crazy shapes. And … it's food?!? Well, it's edible, anyway.

It's even weird to eat, the way you can't exactly chew it, but you don't drink it, either. And yet, I do so admire what people do with the stuff. So while you'll be hard-pressed to get me to actually consume the stuff, I want to share some photos of some truly insane Jello creations for us all to appreciate. Happy Freaky Friday!

Too Much Jello Here

As usual, their eyes were bigger than their stomachs. So their mothers made them eat all that Jello that they asked for. And they never ate Jello ever again. The end.
