Jell-o. Doesn't mean anything. Not really a word. Sure, it's based off of gel or jelly or something, but Jell-o is not a word.
HOWEVER, other languages pronounce the letter "J" differently. For example, in German, it's pronounced like our "Y," making it Yell-o, or Yello. In Spanish, it's pronounced like our "H," making it Hell-o, or Hello. Just something to think about.

Also, Yellow Hello would be an awesome name for a band.

It's a brand name, I think.

In real countries, we call it "jelly."

It is a brand name.
And jelly is something different.

It is gelatinous, or jelly-like. They just took the "ee" sounds and made it an "o" sound. Totally understandable.

You can make random molds out of Jell-o, like a brain for instance. It's fun you can eat.

I don't care much for Jell-O. I don't mind generic pudding, fresh tapioca is good, but rice pudding beats them all out.

Holy crap..I almost made a haiku here. Take the "and" out and it's 5-7-5, if you pronounce "different" as "diff'rent" which I do.
Total accident.

Leave the and. Replace different with "else".
