The gelatin in Jell-O is what allows you to get so creative — but what exactly is gelatin, anyway? Gelatin is just a processed version of a structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals, including humans. Collagen makes up almost one-third of all the protein in the human body. As you get older, your body makes less collagen, and individual collagen fibers become increasingly cross-linked with each other.
You might experience this as stiff joints from less flexible tendons, or wrinkles due to loss of skin elasticity. Gelatin can come from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hides and connective tissues.
Today, the gelatin in Jell-O is most likely to come from pigskin. Collagen doesn't dissolve in water in its natural form, so it must be modified to make gelatin. Manufacturers grind the body parts and treat them with either a strong acid or a strong base to dissolve the collagen. Then the pretreated material is boiled. Controls at every step of the process ensure purity and safety. The materials are washed and filtered repeatedly. During this process, the large collagen protein ends up being partially broken down; the resulting product is a gelatin solution.
That solution is chilled into a jelly-like material, cut and dried in a special chamber. At this point, the dried gelatin — about 10 percent water — is ground. If it's going to make Jell-O, it will be ground into a fine powder. When you buy a box of Jell-O or another brand of gelatin at the grocery store , you get a small packet of the powdered gelatin with sugar or artificial sweetener and artificial flavorings and colors added.

Over 15 million Jell-o recipe booklets were printed and distributed into American households. Noted artists, such as Norman Rockwell even provided colored illustrations in these booklets to help make Jell-O a household word.

An advertising campaign was launched to reintroduce Jigglers which were Jell-O snacks molded into fun shapes that could be eaten as finger food.
