Cause we call jello(w) the red transparent candy thing that wiggles.

That's jelly! We call the transparently wobbly wiggly thing jelly.

And what you spread on your toast that is made out of fruit is jam.

Why the **** do they say "peanut butter & jelly" when they mean "jam" ?!
... and we call it Jello cause that's the most popular brand of it, it's like "kleenex" or "bic".

Don't ask me. I am equally as puzzled.

Yeah, we don't have Jell-o, it's called Jelly here. The mot popular brand is 'Aeroplane Jelly.' It comes with an awesome theme song, too.

It says it on the box?

Lmao at the Jell-O conversation. :laughing:

This has been a combination of the best/worst weekend of my life. Funniest in some ways by far, cos of work. But pretty saddening. Life goes on? :(

Because in North America jelly refers to a type of spread that is different from jam. It's basically jam minus the fruit pulp.

Yup. Jam=with seeds and pulpy bits, jelly=jam without those bits, jello=what we limeys generally call jelly.

I don't mind this differentiation of language because it's at least not a case of calling jam something else, it remains jam.

I am however offended by the very concept of squirty cheese.
